I’m generally not a pessimistic person, and I know this very well because I still had a positive outlook toward life when I hit rock bottom in the past (also, don’t be deluded if you are going through a bad time, there can always be another bigger bottom).
In fact, I’m very optimistic about Malta and my country and I also have big hopes for the younger generation. However, the reality is that in the short term, and as long as Labour will remain in power, things will keep getting gradually worse. I don’t say this hyperbolically or anecdotally because little by little, things in Malta are literally falling apart and going bust. The problem is that very often one is not able to see the process and is only able to become aware of it once the process is at a very extended stage with catastrophically evident results. It’s like an addict taking heroin who doesn’t realize that his addiction is growing progressively worse until eventually, he needs serious medical attention.
This is Malta today where literally everything is breaking, piece by piece, day by day, and many are getting increasingly furious as they realize this. Air Malta is closing down, the electricity grid started melting, the rule of law is broken, the justice system is broken, the public debt is shooting up vertically, the environment is a disaster and getting worse, the litter and rat infestation problem, the shoddy buildings, the impunity for hardened criminals and politicians, young people leaving, the traffic problem, and I can go on and on.
This is Malta under Robert Abela. It’s a disaster and we are regressing into Third World status.
And for the record, this is not a situation where a Minister in government needs to step up – this is a situation that requires its political and government authors a disgraceful and humiliating exit.
