Citizenship | Muscat confident ‘way forward’ can be found with Commission

truthBtold, continue singing...for a while, I am sure that in the near future your Gonzi-Simon-PN will start claiming that the citizen scheme was their idea

So all those are against the citizen scheme please go to the people who will not benefit from anything, and suggest that we switch over to Simon, Austin/Rcc wenzu and the rest of the clique and buy some honour mixed with stupid jingoism

Joseph Muscat is really full of himself. Like he was when he came up with the "Option of Pushback" That one went away real fast and he backed off. I also thought that Joseph Muscat had some balls when he made that statement, but it turned out that he has only marbles. If Joseph Muscat believes that he has the majority of the Maltese people behind him in this Passport for Sale Scheme he would be more than glad to put this vote to the people through a referendum. Joseph Muscat is turning out to be quite a disappointment like his predecessor was. He keeps trying to outdo Dom Mintoff but believe me there is no comparison. Dom Mintoff had brains while this man sits on his brains and he let himself be led through the nose by outsiders. Proof us wrong Joseph Muscat and put the Passport for Sale Scheme Initiative on a ballot through a referendum, I dare you. Of course you will not because you are very aware that the majority of the people are against your devilish scheme. Too bad that us Maltese people are very submissive and can be molded to any shape by our politicians. Ignorance is bliss and you are taking advantage of that ignorance.

This IIP posturing is getting old hat now. Go on and damn the devil.

As the saying goes,” Put enough clowns under one roof and you are bound to watch a circus.” And that is exactly what this IIP scheme has become in the eyes of the concerned Maltese citizens and the alarmed MEP’s in Strasbourg and Brussels. Whether you are for or against this scheme that is promising to turn Malta into paradise on earth, one must wonder why this administration has failed so miserably into implementing it without being seen as a three ring circus of patched up policies and failed promises. One must give credit to the Prime Minister who continually insists that there is nothing wrong in its implementation when half the Maltese population is against it and the EU Commission is considering taking infringement procedures. It is also well and good that Joseph Muscat seems so confident that working with the EU is a top priority but what does it say for his administration that failed to recognize the importance of dotting the i’s and cutting the t’s before they came out trumpeting this scheme without any regards to it’s success or failures domestically and the EU. Truly the opposition is absolutely irrelevant by the way they seem to process their whining and hollow views on foreign and domestic affairs. One look at the way they re-acted to the Right Hon. Justyne Caruana use of the helicopter for a government appointment is enough to make you wonder; how oblivious are Simon Busuttil and his cronies to the facts of life in Malta. The biggest obstacle that remains unsolved in this entire melee is the fact that the Prime Minister cannot bring himself to be transparent with the Maltese people considering all the costs associated with the implementation of the IIP. It is well and good to look at the income and benefits but one must also be aware of the expenses and the consequences of something as half baked as this scheme seems to be right now. For someone who is continuously addressing the Maltese citizens about the one billion euros of benefits, this Prime Minister might become the cause of its eventful failure of implementation, due to his neglect to come clean and convince his own people and the EU who is now focused to demand a full process ensuring transparency.

I have faith in our PM. Let Simon Busuttil and his bunch of PN sour grapes bemoan.

If only the EU commission spent half of this energy to find a solution on immigration we would have halved the xenophobic atmosphere in Malta and Europe. But it seems that cock blocking this program is the only thing on their agenda. I hope this administration shows more balls than the previous one and if necessary Malta needs to start cock blocking every initiative the EU comes up with. Isn't it that what we were promised, equal rights on the decision table?
