Cap 1 - It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Cap 2 - A bomb went off in a lonely field. Cap 3 -

Don't think this statement under oath by the Maltese police on 2 June, 2021 that Yorgen Fenech admitted under interrogation to having paid around €500,000 for #DaphneCaruanaGalizia's assassination & related matters got enough coverage.

“Abela will continue to call himself a socialist. But all true socialists know the only thing red about this government is the lipstick it puts on the pigs at its trough.”

When there are no remaining independent authorities left, the timing of even the most mundane matters - statistics, planning permits, etc - become means to a political end.

@LilithWittmann @Emo_Punk_Rap @MaltaBRegistry @ICIJorg need to update paradise papers.

As @OliverBullough says, the only reason a government wants prediction markets covering their politics is to be able to monetise on inside information.

Some Labour L-linked PR outlet like Lovin Malta or MaltaDaily will likely spin it, but the incumbent Prime Minister of Malta hopping into a souped-up beater with a massive “Queen of the South” sticker at the back, and speeding off sums it all up.

@cschwaigermt PL’s 2013 and 2017 manifesto “masterminds” have all been arraigned in court and are facing charges of homicide, fraud, bribery, embezzlement, tax evasion (that one will likely be settled too) and money laundering.

Even if one were to think the Maltese PL Gov was in good faith when they introduced this law (spoiler alert, they weren’t) what message does this send?

Engage in tax evasion, VAT fraud & even kidnapping, if you get caught & bribes don’t work, pay a fine.

In light of the current global realities and challenges ahead, our country needs a renewed mandate to move forward with stability. I will be recommending to H.E. President Myriam Spiteri Debono the dissolution of Parliament for a general election on May 30.

Wonder whether next year’s ElectroGas “hockey stick year” (10 year expiry of Socar’s LNG supply contract / GSA Exit aka payday 1) is the reason that Robert Abela felt compelled to rush to the polls.

In a foreword to the #MaltaGoldenPassport’s ‘watchdog’’s 2024 annual report, the crony regulator berated the ECJ for failing to understand that cash was required to “balance off and compensate for their inadvertent inability to having been born in Malta”

Hearings in the case of ‘Republic of Malta vs Joseph Muscat & Co’ regarding the Vitals Fraud have been allowed to mutate into ‘Joseph Muscat’s Malta vs Harbinson’ (a court expert).

“A fact check that relies primarily on the same government being assessed as its principal source is, at best, circular and, at worst, misleading.” 👏

"In a brief statement, the Labour Party praised “the firm position taken by a Labour Government during negotiations,” noting that “only half the verified and justified costs will be paid”."

Toni Abela.

Malta has to be the only country where the prime minister tries to use the nomination of a chief justice as a wedge issue to split the opposition.
