"Erm... What I meant... erm... Malta being short of certain people of calibre"

When it comes to promoting our lovely Island and being proud of its people, definitely Labour doesn't have the quintessential manner.

Watch Prof. Edward Scicluna

At first, the Minister of Finance, Hon. Edward Scicluna, tried so hard to make it a point that the Individual Investor Programme (IIP) had nothing to do with the government deficit or due to a weary financial status. However, a few seconds later he made a counterargument that rebutted what he had just stated: "yes the deficit does count in the sense that the government's hands are tied with fiscal governance and keeping the deficit below 3% and therefore we wanted another medium to handle investment... long-term investment..." 

Hon. Scicluna stated that the investment programme must be developed and this will incorporate more bonding by 'the investors' with Malta. The person will come here and will reside in Malta and ideally will have some property in Malta as well. Nevertheless, Hon. Scicluna didn't mentioned how, when or even if these criteria will be put down in black and white. 

Ironically, the fiasco by Hon. Scicluna was carried out just a few hours before the loss of Nelson Mandela. A statesman who was so proud of his compatriots. One can find numerous inspiring quotes and may also make a 'top ten Nelson Mandela quotes of all time', but among these they will never find such a disparaging quote regarding his South African countrymen, as the one propounded by Prof. Scicluna earlier today: "Malta being short of certain people of calibre...."

Not in my name...

    So according to Scicluna, calibre equals money... Great

Biex insalvaw ir-reputazzjoni ta’ pajjiżna, l-Prim Ministru għandu jwarrab

L-iskandli qed jitfgħu dell ikrah fuq pajjiżna Il-Prim Ministru għandu jpoġġi l-interessi nazzjonali qabel l-interessi personali, u għalhekk, biex insalvaw ir-reputazzjoni ta’ pajjiżna, l-Prim Ministru għandu jwarrab. Din mhix ġlieda bejn in-Nazzjonalisti u l-Laburisti, iżda hi ġlieda bejn x’inhu tajjeb u x’inhu ħażin, bejn is-sewwa u l-ħażin. Dan qalu l-Viċi Kap tal-Partit Nazzjonalista għall-Ħidma fil-Parlament u Shadow Minister tal-Finanzi Mario de Marco waqt konferenza tal-aħbarijiet li kienet indirizzata wkoll mix-Shadow Minister tal-Ekonomija Claudio Grech u l-Kelliema għas-Servizzi Finanzjarji, l-IT u l-Gaming Kristy Debono.   Claudio Grech, Mario de Marco u Kristy Debono waqt il-konferenza tal-aħbarijiet Mario de Marco qal li l-inkwiet qiegħed dejjem jikber meta wieħed jara l-iskandli li issa laħqu l-ogħla livelli tal-Gvern - il-Prim Ministru, ċ-Chief of Staff u l-Uffiċċju tal-Prim Ministru - rrappurtati fil-media ...

“Qabel l-elezzjoni Muscat daħak bin-nies” - Ann Fenech

L-intervista mal-avukat Ann Fenech, il-President tal-Eżekuttiv tal-PN L-avukat Ann Fenech qatt ma pparteċipat b'mod attiv fl-istrutturi tal-Partit Nazzjonalista u dan minkejja li dejjem segwiet il-politika mill-qrib. Madankollu f'intervista mal-gazzetta ILLUM, Fenech ammettiet li wara t-telfa storika tal-Partit Nazzjonalista ħasset li kellha tagħti sehem ikbar fi ħdan il-Partit.  Fenech fissret kif hi tinsab mimlija ħeġġa sabiex tara li l-PN ikun aħjar. "Dan huwa mument eċitanti ħafna għalija. Qed niltaqa' ma ’ bosta nies li f'ħajjithom qatt ma ressqu lejn l-istamperija u qed jikkontribwixxu ħafna lejn il-partit." Hi spjegat ukoll kif hemm persuni li kienu jmorru l-istamperija madwar għoxrin sena ilu mbagħad waqfu, u issa reġgħu bdew jattendu u jagħtu sehemhom. "Inw i egħdek li għamilna l-almu kollu sabiex nisimgħu lil kulħadd" Fis-sustanza sar ħafna xogħol L-avukat Ann Fenech "Saru ħafna...
