Wasn’t our resident ambassador in Moscow the Qormi doctor, Carmelo Brincat?

Prosit Def. Malta Institute of Accountant’s 2015 CPE program ought to include a seminar on: “How to disregard auditors’ reports when there’s an ambassador at hand.”

Wrong, ciccio.

It means that SOCAR know for sure that Gasol plc is in trouble and they must have aired their concern with the Maltese government.

The ambassador’s reply is the typical statement of an unconvinced salesman.

Why is Malta’s ambassador to Azerbaijan commenting about the demise or otherwise of a British company?

Even if this company is involved in business with an Azeri company and Malta is a possible beneficiary of this venture, it is not his place to comment.

Moreover, he is not accredited to Russia: Carmel Brincat is. He is another political appointee who replaced a career diplomat who had not reached the end of his term.

25th November 2014 – isn’t that when Konrad Mizzi’s new-deadline-to-which-you-can-hold-me was fast approaching and Muscat dived in with his pseudo-reassurance that there’d be a new announcement the following week?

It was also when the Opposition said it would move a no-confidence vote against Mallia, turning up the heat on Muscat, which means he was running out of distractions.

In reply to Hufflepuff. The point is that someone is making lots of money out of this and several people in key decision-making positions stand to gain personally. What are the odds that John Debono DOESN'T work for Shiv Nair?

In reply to canon.

It somehow means that Socar are not able to turn on their fellow member of the Electrogas consortium – Gasol plc – and ask them if the media reports are true or false.

Socar should then relay the message to its ultimate owner, that is Ilham Aliyev, who will issue a public decree to prohibit the expression of any doubts about Gasol plc’s financial position.

Situation solved. In Azerbaijan, of course.

In reply to Hufflepuff. Joseph Muscat thinks he can outwit anybody that is why ?

In reply to bob-a-job. That incompetent imbecile is going to put us in the deep shit. I hope that the Opposition will crucify him for what he is along with Muscat obviously.

In reply to ciccio. The 22nd month is drawing close.
