Wasn’t the protection of the National Archives the excuse for paying out some Eur4.2 million to bail out and pay off the Cafe Premier shareholders instead of just evicting them as they could have done?

[Daphne – National Library, but yes, you’re right.]

In reply to etil. You shouldn't be surprised. Joseph is still only concerned with garnering votes. If he can do it by using taxpayers' money so much the better.

In reply to Lizz. Idea tajba. Wara kollox bil-Malti nghidu karta pesta u dawn id-dokumenti mahmugin pesti.

Maybe instead they’d donate those pages which they can’t conserve to the float builders to use as papier-mâché.

It would be a win-win situation: make disappear the volumes which can’t be restored and help the carnival industry.

It would almost be similar to the exercise MEPA is planning to undertake by granting permits for illegal development in the Outside Development Zones, under the pretext that the case load is too large to handle, and in so doing, all illegalities will disappear presto.

Allocating funds for carnival flotsam and jetsam is more important that the preservation of historical documents in the National Archives. The priorities of semi-literate goons are different.

Why am I still being surprised at what this sham government is doing to further downgrade Malta.

The real scandal being that warehouses in Kordin are readily available, but that these result ‘too far away’.

Or maybe we can’t allow the fact how industrial areas are turning ghost towns, to become public knowledge.

Now that the proposal is our money, let’s have the small print; who gets to rent the space, under what conditions, which services and who pays running costs and bills.

Obviously commercially sensitive information so there.
