I thought we were promised ‘no arrogance’

One month in and they already think it safe to park on double yellow lines.

    Only the beginning. Wait until they park on your bank accounts.

    That is not arrogance, it’s the Malta Taghna ilkoll Syndrome.

    Arrogance is questioning it.

    The bible according to Joseph.

    Please do note that the car is parked on the opposite side of the flow of traffic, just next to a zebra crossing on a heavy traffic main road (St Joseph High Street in front of Casa Leone) obstracting the view of oncoming traffic of pedestrians potentially wanting to cross the road.

    Consequently, it is not just a question of parking on a double yellow line but also of creating a major hazard to pedestrians.

      Any potential casualties will not have to wait for more than a few seconds to be seen to at A & E anyway.

      So don’t be so facetious, Fido.

    Who does that particular chariot ‘belong’ to?

    Might is right.

  6. billy goat says:

    Oh come on. Don’t you see it? That’s being responsible by not parking on the pedestrian crossing ;-)

    “Malta Taghna Lkoll” is the Maltese down-sized equivalent of the former German Nazi motto: “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer”.

    Come on Mr. Prime Minister, have him resign.

    So who uses this car?

    • Ta' Hal-Qormi sa nofs inhar says:

      Roderick Galdes, Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights in the Ministry for Sustainable Development.

      The car is also parked too close to the zebra crossing. Maybe as part of animal rights protection?

      The one who always objected or voted against most of the projects proposed at MEPA boards.
      Roderick Galdes.

    I suggest to the police to take action on Tuesdays at around midday when there is the cabinet meeting.

    All of Castille place is overparked with the ministers’ cars and even Arriva park-and-ride can barely stop to pick up passengers. Arrogance.

  11. MxC says:

    Do my eyes deceive me, is the car after it doing the same?

    • Sad but true says:

      First of all the proper term should be “behind” it. Secondly, more than your eyes must be deceiving you. Did it not occur to you that the person taking the picture could have been a pedestrian standing behind the car? Tsk tsk…

      • gil says:

        Actually, the correct term would be ‘in front of it as the car-boot is facing us’ but anyway who cares ey.

        I agree, the car in front of it is also parked on double-lines.

  12. C C says:

    Try passing with a pushchair or even worse, wheel chair, on a busy day ifo Castille palace on your way to the Central Bank. You have to pass from the middle of the road cause all GM cars are parked on double yellow lines and obstructing passage for accessibility for wheel chairs and also buggies.

    • Makjavel says:

      Do the ministers’ drivers have legal immunity?

      They should be told to park the cars at the park and ride and come back ten minutes before. But then Malta taghna lkoll and therefore so is the roundabout infront of Castille.

      Can I park along with them?
