There were no speeches today. Just people shouting their anger in the rain. "Barra!" "Ġustizzja!" "Korrotti!" "Ħabs!" "Daphne kellha raġun!" https://youtu.be/BddLOKTquu8

It was disappointing but not surprising to see the Labour Party parliamentary group falling behind the great leader Joseph Muscat. What are they not seeing? Which bit are they not understanding? Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri were discovered three years ago by Daphne Caruana Galizia lining themselves up for $5,000 a day from Yorgen Fenech [...]

Judge asks European Court to decide on Repubblika’s judicial independence case urgently

By

Statement by Repubblika: A Maltese court referred Repubblika’s challenge to the power of Malta’s prime minister to choose judges and magistrates to the European Court of Justice. This is a very significant moment in judicial history. In Malta’s history as an EU member state this is only the fourth ever reference to the European Court [...]

If my pots and pans were always empty maybe I'd look like that. Meantime, could be worse. I could look like Konrad Mizzi at Ivan Martin's microphone this morning. ‘Did you plan to receive kickbacks from a murder suspect @KonradMizzi?’ #DaphneCaruanaGalizia pic.twitter.com/U0tUVNKZad — Ivan Martin (@IvanMartin89) November 25, 2019 Go away indeed!

The SIGMA conference will no longer be opened by Joseph Muscat who is presumably otherwise occupied. He was due to open the conference on Wednesday with fanfare. The conference is being held in Ta' Qali though the annual industry awards are being held at the Hilton Hotel. This is a screenshot of the program that [...]

Yorgen Fenech’s email shows he was solicited to pay into Michelle Muscat’s charity

By
2019-11-25T10:11:26+01:00Mon, 25th Nov '19, 10:11|

The inappropriateness of Michelle Muscat's "charity" role should not be in doubt though for some that don't see through the condescending Peronesque para-philantropy it is. The Times of Malta today revealed emails written by Yorgen Fenech about Electrogas in the aftermath of stories published by Daphne Caruana Galizia about cash issues at that company. The [...]

How dare you threaten me, pitiross?

Hey Neville Gafà, do you really think you can threaten me? I know I’ve been up your arse for a while. Your life got easier since Daphne was killed. You chased her down garden centres and cafés right till the day a bomb was put in her car. You must have smirked when you heard [...]

Konrad Mizzi's fans are all over Evarist Bartolo now reminding him that he owes his re-election to Konrad Mizzi's genius. What do these guys drink? Ah yes. I think they call it Kool-Aid. A Coress (is that a real name?) Gouder from Paola, constituent and obviously a breathless supporter of Konrad Mizzi warns Evarist Bartolo [...]

Protesting with pots and pans

Almost thirty-five years ago women in Valletta marched in the streets complaining about poor water supply. Infrastructure was weak and water was rationed making life tough. Today water flows easy from our taps. But we have a different thirst. We thirst for justice. Tonight bring with you pots and pans. Make some noise. Call for [...]

GUEST POST: Where are all the young?

From a young woman known to me. I am a 26-year old Maltese professional, currently working abroad. Needless to say that right now, my Maltese pride has been quashed and I feel the need to deviate from questions asking where I’m from when meeting clients. As colleagues read the foreign news and ask me what’s [...]

When he clung to Keith Schembri

By
2019-11-25T08:30:34+01:00Mon, 25th Nov '19, 08:30|

On the eve of the 2017 election Joseph Muscat wanted to scare us all with the prospect of re-election of the PN to government. The context was a Saviour Balzan interview he was giving on TV where he's being challenged about retaining Keith Schembri. Lawrence Gonzi, Joseph Muscat reminds us, appointed a -- skużi -- [...]
