This in itself should be a warning sign that Malta-Azerbaijan relations are seen differently by the authorities in Baku and Valletta.
Do so-called official visits by PM Joseph Muscat abroad attract such official publicity in other countries? China and North Korea may be exceptions. Why?
It is breaking news in Baku that the prime minister of another country ( especially an EU member state) has visited because all decent leaders make it a point to keep their distance.
You were right in your quote ‘most of the people out there are morons and idiots’, who voted to the government people who are similar to them.
I just paid an additional €40 on my three year old 10 horse power car, as additional to the original €120 licence fee. We were given a reduction in our electricity bills, and now it is being recovered from additional taxes and the high price of fuel.
The price of fuel has gone down by 50% in the last three months, and in Malta it went down by 2c. I am a pensioner on a €560 pension a month.
Qbadna mazzun.
Meanwhile:
”Uruguayan Soccer Club to Refuse Azeri Sponsorship”
”It was reported earlier this year that one of the conditions that the Azeri officials imposed on San Lorenzo was that “there couldn’t be ethnic Armenians” in future executive committees of the club in exchange for a lucrative contract with the club.”
”Marcelo Areco, another candidate, described as “unfortunate and shameful” the conditions imposed by Azerbaijan to San Lorenzo, Ricardo Rachetti described as “outrageous” any proposal that intended to discriminate any person, Ignacio Ruglio said that “regardless of the size of the organization making the offer, no one can impose discriminative conditions,” and finally Edgar Welker, current Vice President of the club, said that “accepting conditions of this nature would be really unfortunate.”

I always thought that “co-operation ” was a give and take scenario. Will Joseph and the KKK tell us exactly what we are supposed to be giving the Azeris back?
Perhaps I would be better off not knowing the answer to that, on second thoughts.
When will Dr Muscat be popping over to down-town Jeddah for a pot of mint tea and halal petit fours with his billionaire buddy the Saudi prince? He could always bring back a nice tent for the president to wear come next Republic Day.
Isn’t it obvious? Dictators have few friends.
Joseph Muscat and his three hoods agree on strategic energy cooperation with Baku whether the Maltese people like it or not.
The photo of Muscat and Aliyev strikes me as significant. I’m not usually very observant of body language but, looking at the two men, the power dynamics seem clear.
It’s not Muscat’s fault that he is shorter than the Azerbaijani dictator but, instead of standing up straight, he seems to be slightly bent forward, as if about to bow. You can almost imagine him kissing Aliyev’s hand.
Staring at all those statues and photos of the dictator and his family must have made a strong impression on our Prime Minister.
