The Rule of Law was carefully, deliberately and systematically dismantled, so that the corrupt, the criminal can operate brazenly and unfettered, with impunity. It has been said that it is the rule of law alone which hinders the rulers from turning themselves into the worst gangsters. Which is exactly what has happened in Malta.
Joseph Muscat, Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri concocted a deal which would earn a handful a people a ton of money, taxpayer money. Money that could have put to good use in healthcare. Cancer drugs etc. It was a deal designed to put many millions into a few pockets, and having least of all the wellbeing of the people of Malta in mind.
Nobody sees anything as wrong – unless you can get caught and jailed for it. Just getting caught out is not even a problem any more. Because there are no consequences. Decency, ethics, appropriateness, propriety have all been discarded and forsaken. Transparency and accountability have gone out of the window.
Given the manifest lack of transparency in the relationship between Balzan, a media house owner, and the government, I find it hard to understand why Keith Schembri’s 1a.m. buddy and government propogandist Saviour Balzan has taken Malta’s dismal rating on the RSF World Press Freedom Index (Malta’s rating this year is the worst it has ever been.) so very, badly.
This is a war of attrition, and by no means can we allow ourselves to be worn down by the brazen evil of this government.
