EP leaders agree to a cross-party resolution on ‘EU citizenship for sale’

Metsola and Casa can kiss our S together with all those MEP who will vote with these two traitorous punts. Their statement "...trust and goodwill that Malta worked so hard to build with other member states and European Institutions". Only came about with their ass licking butt sniffing slave like attitude towards foreigners which has been PN's main attribute as a party.Metsola and Casa can GFT. (hope this is not censored)

Malta free to sell EU citizenship, commission says http://euobserver.com/justice/122101 . Simon, Metsola, Casa, tinsewx li l-qawl Malti jghid li "Min jichad art twelidu mizbla zibel anqas tridu" u inthom hemm qed taghmlu. Tichdu art twelidkom.

Simon Busuttil and his MEP acolytes speak of matters of principle in the ciitzenship case where really no higher principles were involved other than the original need for some tweaking of the law and relatively minor procedural adjustments. However in their faux patriotic frenzy which citizens of goodwill who love to see the economic development of our country and the injection of new foreign investment do dismiss see his PN MEPs threatening the very sovereignty of Malta and our parliament by aiding and abetting a gross breach of the principle of subsidiarity and proportionality. Articles 5.3 and protocol No2 of the Treaty of the European Union. This clearly reserve certain matters to the national parliaments. This was clearly demonstrated by the statements of the European Commission spokespersons re this proposed citizenship case which statements all adhered to this subsidiarity principle as reaffirmed and strengthened in every treaty from Maastricht to Lisbon. The subsidiarity principle rules out EU intervention whenever an issue can be dealt with effectively by Member States.The Lisbon treaty has strengthened the right of national parliaments like ours to ensure compliance of the EU parliament with this principle. In this context: (1) Following a Sep 2012 EU resolution the EU parliament president should have come and discussed and collaborated with our speaker if there were any misgivings. (2) Following the Nov 2010 framework agreement the Commission and the EU parliament had to help to ensure our parliament could reach decisions within the EU maintained principle of subsidiarity. We now have the scandalous posture of our PN MEPS rushing to EU parliamentary group big daddy and in so doing undermining the very principle of subsidiarity and consequently sovereignty I hope that our truly patriotic MEPs will lobby with their like minded foreign colleagues and insist on the danger of this motion to the principle of subsidiarity and national interests. Finally and most importantly, I would therefore urge our parliamentary speaker to write immediately to the EU parliament and Commission and protest on this citizenship debate being in conflict with compliance principle agreements and with subsidiarity and insist that they come to consult and discuss with him in the first instance.

@ James112, I AM WITH YOU ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!! Shame on local politicians who try to damage Malta for their party's short term gain. But let me assure them that the MEP elections will come around, and voters will not forget. Roberta, unfortunately you were pushed by your own fellow partners to look like you took ownership of this damaging campaign, all to the advantage of lame duck Casa. Shame.

Guzepp: The EU parliament has no right to stop the IIP. In fact, the European Commission has already said that it has no right to interfere since citizenship is within the competence of each member state !

Will the Pn ever stop having 'Sour Grapes'.....till now it doesn't look like it. It's time that accepted what they have become...a laughing stock !

I hope that the EU does not let the PL Government of Malta hold the EU hostage and that they vote the Passport for Sale Scheme down. Besides selling our Livelihood and Respect to any rogue around the world who can come up with 650,000 euros, the PL will be providing a Golden Key to any drug cartel member or any mobster to move easily into the European market. The Maltese Passport will be able to provide a chance for people from Al-Queda and every Arab Country to be free to enter the European country of their choice and set up camp in any European State. Every dirty ruler that tortured their people will be able to find refuge in any European country of their choice with our precious Maltese Passport. Keep in mind that any person holding a Maltese Passport can move about just anywhere in this world and that includes, the USA, Canada and Australia, or again, anyone of the European States. For instance Al-Basar of Syria and murderers like him can buy one of these Maltese passports and come live here in Malta because he has all the money he wants. I hope the EU has enough sense to stop this crazy idea that Mr Joe and Dr Mallia came up with. Maltese People that travel can tell you the embarrassment they are going through because of this Maltese Idea of Selling our Passport for thirty pieces of silver to anybody, and I mean everybody that can come up with 650,000 euros. Besides the whole EU, Mr Joe will be insulting and degrading every Maltese Born Citizen and that includes the families of the Politicians and Ministers who approved this unfortunate Scheme, even if they voted for it against their will. Give it up Mr Joe before you lose your self respect. Eddy please don't bother to answer, not about something so serious as this. Shame on you and the rest of the PL Ministers that voted for this Passport for Sale Scheme, No class whatsoever. I never thought that Malta and all Maltese Born Citizens will ever become a commodity to be sold for thirty pieces of silver by our own government. Everybody is entitled to their opinion.

james: You have made a mistake, this programm can generate more than 1 BILLION EUROS ! But the PN and their acolytes in the local and foreign media, as well as in the European parliament would like to stop this, as this would damage the PN irreparably if it is a success !

Dear Metsola and Caa,your party left the national debt close to 6 BILLION Euros,with 250000 Euros interest every single day of the year,now that's scandalous.

People who really do not want Malta's reputation and image to be dragged through the dirt would surely not do their best to fuel anti-Maltese Government discussions in the European Union.

Nationalist MEPs Roberta Metsola and David Casa say ‘it should have never come to this’. Not when you have these very same two persons belonging to a party whose leader publicly stated that the the interests of Malta should never come before those of the EU.

Dear MEP Metsola and Casa, Should MEPs serve the interest of their political party in Malta or the interest of the Maltese in General ? I ask Does the Maltese public really really care if 1000 rich foreigners come on the island ? Will Malta benefit from an income of more than 500,000 a year ? Who will **not** benefit from this scheme really ? Dear MEPs, your responsability IMHO to MALTA and the MALTESE and not to the Maltese nationalist party.
