L-g\u0127a\u017cla ta’ Nixon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minkejja l-fatt li kien fl-ewwel terminu presidenzjali tieg\u0127u ta’ erba’ snin li kien wettaq \u0127afna ta\u0127wid, Richard Nixon kien re\u0121a’ \u0121ie elett b\u0127ala President b’ma\u0121\u0121oranza ferm akbar. Il-kritika li kien beda’ jaqla’ mill-istampa ma kienitx g\u0127amlitlu tant \u0127sara. Lill-Partit Repubblikan, Nixon kien ta\u0127 \u0127ajja \u0121dida, g\u0127all-ewwel darba Demokrati\u010bi li jg\u0127ixu fin-nofsinhar tal-pajji\u017c bdew jivvutaw g\u0127all-partit tieg\u0127u u rnexxielu wkoll jimmobilizza votanti \u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127. Hu u ji\u010b\u010belebra r-reb\u0127a li kien kiseb, huwa kien deher invin\u010bibbli. Ir-reb\u0127a tieg\u0127u kienet \u017ciedet il-fidu\u010bja kemm tieg\u0127u kif ukoll dik tal-partit.<\/p>\n

Madankollu, matul it-tieni terminu, beda’ jidher \u010bar il-qerq tieg\u0127u u Nixon spi\u010b\u010ba biex kellu j\u0127allas l-og\u0127la prezz politiku: iwarrab minn jeddu jew jitke\u010b\u010ba.<\/p>\n

Gerald Ford, il-Vi\u010bi-President lejali li kellu, forsi g\u0127aliex kellu \u0127e\u0121\u0121a \u017cejda biex je\u0127odlu postu jew forsi min\u0127abba s-suddizzjoni li kellu, wieg\u0127ed li jo\u0127ro\u0121lu ma\u0127fra malli jsir president hu. Hekk kien g\u0127amel u l-presidenza tieg\u0127u spi\u010b\u010bat biex mietet qabel twieldet.<\/p>\n

Tul dawn l-a\u0127\u0127ar tmintax il-xahar, Joseph Muscat kien is-su\u0121\u0121ett ta’ kritika \u0127arxa. Dakinhar li fe\u0121\u0121et fil-bera\u0127 l-investigazzjoni dwar il-Panama Papers<\/em>, Muscat ipprova jnaqqas l-importanza ta’ dak li nkixef fis-sens li l-assistent tieg\u0127u kien \u0127oloq strutturi internazzjonali biex jiskansa mill-\u0127las tat-taxxi dovuti lill-kaxxa ta’ Malta. B\u0127al kull mexxej ie\u0127or ta’ xi repubblika tal-banana, Muscat kellu jistqarr li ma kien jara xejn \u0127a\u017cin b’dak li kien \u0127ema’ l-assistent tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n

Kellu wkoll jag\u0127laq g\u0127ajnej\u0127 g\u0127all-fatt li, fi \u017cmien ftit jiem minn dakinhar li \u0127adu r-riedni tal-pajji\u017c f’idejhom, l-assistent tieg\u0127u Keith Schembri u dak li huwa ried b\u0127ala deputat mexxej tal-partit Konrad Mizzi, kienu \u0127olqu kumpanniji sigrieti fil-Panama.<\/p>\n

Kien kostrett ukoll li jinjora \u0127a\u0121’o\u0127ra: meta nkixef li kien hemm ukoll it-tielet kumpannija li ng\u0127ad li kienet ta’ xi \u0127add li hu “aktar importanti” minn Mizzi u Schembri, bosta kienu dawk li basru li din il-kumpannija kienet tal-prim ministru nnifsu.<\/p>\n

Muscat dan \u010ba\u0127du. Sakemm persuna li ma kellha xejn x’takkwista u li ma kellha ebda interess tkellmet u qalet li f’idejha kellha provi li din il-kumpannija fil-fatt kienet tieg\u0127u. Aktar tard kompla ji\u010b\u0127ad u stqarr li “m’huwiex \u0127alliel”.<\/p>\n

Muscat wera’ \u0127ila u sa\u0127\u0127a tremenda meta, minkejja dawn l-allegazzjonijiet serji ta’ korruzzjoni fil-konfront tieg\u0127u, re\u0121a’ reba\u0127 b’mod konvin\u010benti.<\/p>\n

Sitt \u0121img\u0127at wara l-elezzjoni, f’nofs l-ista\u0121un s\u0127un tas-sajf, it-tendenza kollettiva nazzjonali kienet wa\u0127da – minkejja l-provi ta’ korruzzjoni li kienu nkixfu qabel l-elezzjoni – favur bidu \u0121did. It-tendenza favur bidu \u0121did kienet wa\u0127da popolari: bosta huma dawk li jippreferu jibdew mill-\u0121did u jaqilbu l-pa\u0121na spe\u010bjalment fuq pa\u0121na sewda b\u0127alma hi dik tal-iskandlu tal-Panama.<\/p>\n

L-ener\u0121ija li \u0127assew bosta persuni ftit qabel l-elezzjoni\u00a0 jidher li \u0121iet fix-xejn u issa dawn qed ikollhom jammettu li s-sa\u0127\u0127a li \u0127asbu li kellhom li jwettqu l-bidla ma serviet g\u0127al xejn. Spe\u010bi ta’ \u0121aladarba Muscat huwa ntokkabbli, ta’ xejn li toqg\u0127od tintilef f’rabja.<\/p>\n

Dan kellu effett straordinarju fuq ix-xenarju politiku. Dan l-istag\u0127\u0121ib kollu b’Muscat s’issa rrenda lit-tellieqa g\u0127at-tmexxija tal-PN f’wa\u0127da ta’ bla imma\u0121inazzjoni. Jidher li l-effett Muscat sa wasal biex intimida li u\u0127ud li wie\u0127ed kien jistenna li sejrin jikkontestaw g\u0127at-tmexxija tal-partit. Din is-sitwazzjoni \u0121ieg\u0127el lil bosta j\u0127arsu lejn il-kandidati li sejrin itellqu b’g\u0127afsa ta’ qalb – l-istess g\u0127afsa ta’ qalb li \u0127assew dawk li b’g\u0127ajnejhom raw lil Theseus jaqbad triqtu fil-labirint biex isalva lit-tfajla minn ta\u0127t id-dwiefer ta’ \u0121gant bil-qrun.<\/p>\n

Minkejja l-impatt li kellu fuq il-PN, l-impatt li Muscat kellu fuq il-PL ma kienx ward u \u017cahar daqs kemm huwa xtaq li jkun. Muscat jaf sew il-punt sa fejn jistg\u0127u jaslu l-investigazzjonijiet dwar il-Panama, dwar l-Egrant u dwar il-Pilatus. G\u0127amel li seta’ biex investigazzjoni kif suppost jinnewtralizzaha, bag\u0127bas fil-\u0127atriet (per e\u017cempju fil-\u0127atra tal-kummissarju tal-pulizija), intimida lil min g\u0127andu kariga ta’ responsabbilt\u00e0 (araw kif, per e\u017cempju, wissa’ lill-ma\u0121istrat inkwirenti Aaron Bugeja fuq it-televi\u017cjoni), persuni b’\u0127atriet kostituzzjonali nnewtralizzahom (g\u0127al darb’o\u0127ra l-kummissarju tal-pulizija, l-Avukat \u0120enerali u l-uffi\u010b\u010bju ta’ kontra l-\u0127asil tal-flus and his strategic influence on the anti-money laundering office) bil-g\u0127an li jipprote\u0121i lilu nnifsu, lis-setg\u0127a tieg\u0127u u lill-po\u017cizzjoni tieg\u0127u personali.<\/p>\n

Ta’ \u0121urdien xi\u0127 li hu, Muscat ma jistax ikun li ma \u0127asibx fi pjan alternattiv. Wara kollox, mhux kollox jinsab ta\u0127t il-kontroll strett tieg\u0127u. Li kieku ma kienx hekk, il-Panama Papers<\/em> ma kienux jinkixfu. B\u0127alissa x’aktarx qed i\u0127oss li \u0127add u xejn ma jista’ g\u0127alih. Il-\u0121urnalisti li kitbu b’tant reqqa dwar l-iskandlu tal-Panama issa g\u0127ejjew u kwa\u017ci kwa\u017ci jippreferu li jiktbu dwar affarijiet o\u0127rajn. Il-partit fl-Oppo\u017cizzjoni b\u0127alissa g\u0127addej mill-akbar kri\u017ci e\u017cistenzjali li qatt kellu mill-1947 ‘l hawn. L-investigaturi \u017celanti tal-Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit<\/em> twarrbu bil-pulit. Min jista’ j\u017commu issa?<\/p>\n

Din il-mistoqsija m’g\u0127andix il-\u0127ila li nwe\u0121ibha. G\u0127alkemm nista’ nxomm xi \u0127jiel dwar twe\u0121iba minn \u010berti g\u0127ejjun mhux mistennija.<\/p>\n

Meta Louis Grech warrab min\u0127abba ra\u0121unijiet li wie\u0127ed jista’ jifhimhom, floku Muscat xtaq li jil\u0127aq xi \u0127add tal-g\u0127amla ta’ Gerald Ford. Ji\u0121ifieri xi \u0127add li ma jkollu ebda ambizzjoni li je\u0127odlu postu jew xi \u0127add li jikkuntenta li jkun id-deputat mexxej biss.<\/p>\n

Muscat ma qg\u0127adx jag\u0127modha meta’ indika li b\u0127ala deputat tieg\u0127u ried lil Helena Dalli jew lil Edward Scicluna. Lejlet l-elezzjoni tad-deputat mexxej, il-messa\u0121\u0121 tieg\u0127u dwar il-\u0127tie\u0121a li jkun hemm aktar nisa involuti fil-politika tkellem wa\u0127du. U jekk mhux Helena Dall, xtaq lil\u00a0 Scicluna \u2013 l-img\u0127allem li mbag\u0127ad sar l-istudent tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n

Lil Chris Fearne \u010bertament Muscat ma ridux. B’kuntrast g\u0127at-tnejn l-o\u0127ra Fearne g\u0127andu l-kwalitajiet ta’ mexxej u g\u0127alhekk deputat mexxej perikolu\u017c\u00a0 u meta tinqala’ l-opportunit\u00e0 ibqg\u0127u \u010berti li ser ikun lest g\u0127at-tellieqa.<\/p>\n

Fl-a\u0127\u0127ar elezzjoni, Fearne ippre\u017centa ru\u0127u b\u0127ala t-twe\u0121iba sensata g\u0127all-qaddej politiku ta’ Muscat: Konrad Mizzi. I\u017cda Fearne, b’differenza g\u0127al Mizzi, ilu fil-partit minn \u017cog\u0127\u017citu u \u0127adem fih kemm fil-glorju\u017c kif ukoll fid-doloru\u017c. G\u0127andu wkoll l-imma\u0121ni ta’ so\u010bjalist b’kuxjenza so\u010bjali li jg\u0127idha kif i\u0127ossha. Dan jikkuntrasta ferm mal-kliem tqil tan-negozjanti li ju\u017ca Konrad Mizzi.<\/p>\n

I\u017cda meta Fearne iqabbel lilu nnifsu ma’ Mizzi, ming\u0127ajr ma jaf ikun qed iqabbel lilu nnifsu ma’ Muscat. Ikun irid iwassal il-messa\u0121\u0121 li hu jinsab fuq in-na\u0127a tal-pazjent fl-isptar tal-gvern u mhux fuq in-na\u0127a tal-i\u017cviluppatur miljunarju. Li hu da\u0127al g\u0127al \u0127ajja pubblika biex ikun ta’ servizz u mhux biex jerda’ l-miljuni.<\/p>\n

Ta\u0127sbux li d-delegati Laburisti l-messa\u0121\u0121i ta’ Muscat ma fehmuhomx. Tant fehmuhom, li bg\u0127atulu messa\u0121\u0121 b’risposta. Dawn ukoll jifhmu li mhux kollox jinsab ta\u0127t il-kontroll strett ta’ Muscat u li allura je\u0127tie\u0121 li jkun hemm pjan alternattiv.<\/p>\n

E\u017catt b\u0127al Macbeth qabel i\u010b-\u010bena, issa Muscat ser jit\u0127asseb dwar jekk is-su\u010b\u010bessur tieg\u0127u huwiex ser ikun lest jew le li jag\u0127tih ma\u0127fra malli ji\u0121i ffa\u010b\u010bjat bl-g\u0127a\u017cla li kellu Nixon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
