I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt here.

The previous Nationalist administration never took a clear stand against hamallagni. So for thousands of voters, it was a case of ceteris paribus.

Simon Busuttil seems to have taken that stand. And that’s good. Because voters now have a clear choice.

That’s total nonsense. It’s junk that people don’t want and not markets.

[Daphne – Actually, it’s the other way round. It’s junk that people want. Flea markets are massively popular and the Valletta-type of market is dying out.]

They started with one street, now they reached as far as the by pass.

Saying that the hawkers make their daily living from their market stall is just a big lie. In fact some often call it a day and do not turn up.

Is the sum mentioned profit or sales?

The market problem, which is of his own making, will be a lose lose situation.

The decision will be taken when Muscat will phatom the least damaging, from keeping the market in front of parliament or stuffing the stalls in the other part of Ordnance Street.

Muscat has no principles and he will do anything to win votes.

They do, or used to. I can say that back in the day, during the 90s, they used to make around Lm40k – Lm60k. This was before the emergence of various discount stores across the island and internet shopping.
