Jason Micallef is right about this

He’s right about the ridiculous obsession with towers – really, on a Mediterranean island – and he’s also right about the Mosta garden. It’s a total mess, a disgraceful sight, like something in a bankrupt country where the government has given up and run out of funds.

Yes, Micallef is right about the crazed priorities: building towers all over the place when they won’t even maintain a public garden.

I don’t like to say it, but it’s typically Maltese, I’m afraid – the same attitude as the one that has people spending 30,000 euros on a flashy kitchen but then never using it not to ‘ruin’ it, and cooking in the garage instead.

This island is infested with people in power and in control who have totally the wrong priorities and, worse than that, execrable taste. Stop it with the towers already – who’s going to live there?

Who’s going to buy flats in towers – people who will never live there, and turn them into ghost communities, holding onto them as an ‘investment’? People who plan on renting them out to Libyans pouring in to Malta on fake medical visas which they obtained by paying bribes to people like Neville Gafa in Konrad Mizzi’s/Keith Schembri’s office?

Who’s going to rent the offices in the Mriehel Towers – the financial services and remote gaming companies that will flood out of Malta when the European/international anti-money-laundering authorities finally crack down on Malta and all the funny money/dirty money that’s been pouring into the island since 2013?

It’s a strange day when I’m on the same page as Jason Micallef, but things are turning really sick now. Sick and sickening.
