I’m still confused as to why the Nationalist Party is still insisting that it agrees on giving out Maltese citizenship to foreign investors. There’s something deeply wrong with the Nationalist Party if its youth don’t even subscribe to its most fundamental principles: a problem that is surely shared by the Labour Party.
In Jon Mallia’s TV programme “Il-Kaลผin”, Opposition Spokesperson for Home Affairs, Darren Carabott, said that the Nationalist Party agrees on giving out Maltese citizenship to foreign investors if they create jobs in the economy.
Just recently, the Nationalist Party condemned the Labour government for selling Maltese citizenship on the wake of a European Court of Justice decision that condemned Malta’s Golden Passport Scheme as illegal.
Despite all the blusterous condemnations, the Nationalist Party still wants to conserve the practice of selling Maltese passports, but in a more “legitimate” manner. For example, Alexandre Dreyfus, a shitcoin billionaire living in Malta may get Maltese citizenship under a Nationalist government because he is the owner of Loving Malta and is sustaining Maltese jobs with his capital. He would be even eligible to contest elections and become a Member of Parliament.
Note, that Darren Carabott is supposedly the Opposition’s spokesperson on national security: something which seems to be deeply lacking in his way of thinking about local affairs.
Malta is a small population with a small economy and faces severe systematic risks with its sales of citizenship to foreign “investors”. I shouldn’t be the one to point this out to when the Nationalist Party should be the one to bring up this point publicly.
