Just as in an internationalised dystopia, foreigners will be welcomed

Earlier this week, Adrian Delia riled up a lot of haters against him after he said that it is concerning that some localities in Malta have more foreigners than Maltese living in them. Joseph Muscat took the opportunity of this seemingly xenophobe attack to write an essay in defence of foreigners in living Malta saying that many of them working in high-earning industries such as gaming.

I find Joseph Muscat’s interjection in this debate as the perfect example to exhibit how a large part of the left is made up of frauds whose only role in politics and society is to virtue-signal over their opponent with gay rights, feminism and a blind support for immigration. The left’s uncritical stance towards these issues and debates is causing a somewhat extreme reaction among many ordinary members of the public. For example, the left’s support of transgender athletes participating in women’s sports has caused ordinary members of the public to become alienated about gay rights considering the LGBT community as extreme.

The fact that a corrupt criminal like Joseph Muscat would virtue-signal like an ordinary leftist is just a perfect show of typical left-wing grift that uses values opportunistically. On the other hand, I’m neither defending Adrian Delia who made a very confusing point without any definite conclusion, easily raising suspicions of xenophobia. Sliema, Saint Julian’s and Saint Paul’s Bay have always been towns with many foreigners – this is not really a new phenomenon.  Eventually he explained his point better when he referred to the housing crisis. The large number of third-country nationals in Malta is just one of the many factors increasing housing prices but it is not the only one and probably not the most pressing either. The large number of tourists renting apartments is a much more significant factor pushing up housing prices.

What Adrian Delia should have said is that Malta has a two-pronged systematic crisis of decreasing birth-rates and a housing affordability crisis which risks tearing the nation apart and as a consequence destroy the Maltese demographic. This is an empirical and material reality. It is not foreigners who are doing this – we are doing this to ourselves.

On the other hand, dismissing concerns about the rising number of foreigners and third-country nationals in Malta is also ignorant. When elected into office, Joseph Muscat said that he wanted to turn Malta into a Dubai in the Mediterranean and this means turning Malta into an international money-laundering hub serviced by slave-labour. Many third-country nationals who are coming to Malta are coming through a very exploitative system operated by lawyers and brokers who are fleecing these workers that eventually end up working very low-paid jobs. Many of these workers have debts to pay to their brokers. This highly exploitative system is backed by the government and there are people close to Joseph Muscat, like Charlon Gouder, who are directly involved in the slave-labour business.

The government supports this system and intends to feed the lawyers running it with even more perks and opportunities. The government has released a new test for workers who want to work in Malta and this test will be made in the English language. The test adds another bureaucratic layer that feeds this system extracting money and fees from these workers. The right approach would have been to scrap this exploitative brokerage industry with a language-school system just like they have in Germany via the Goethe Institutes. Germany awards foreigners who study the German language abroad and obtain certification. Malta on the other hand has a very exploitative lottery system in which foreigners go through a system of lawyers and brokers in order to, maybe, get a visa, after they are fleeced at least up to €5,000 in fees. After paying these fees, these foreigners in many cases, don’t have a guarantee they get a visa and many of them fail to get it.

On the other hand, the left isn’t speaking about the demographic-language problem because apparently, for some virtue-signaling academics at the University, like Marie Briguglio, addressing this issue is racist and xenophobic. The demographic-language issue is existential to Malta as a nation and society. If the Maltese language dies out, the Maltese demographic becomes under existential risk. The fundamental and essential element of being Maltese is to speak the Maltese language. Refusing to address this very existential and fundamental issue provides a window for the far-right to appropriate the discussion on its own terms.

Malta doesn’t have a population problem in terms of numbers because Malta has built a very hyper-capitalist immigration system feeding its numbers. Malta has an existential problem about its language-demographic. The government should ensure that the number of Maltese speakers who are also Maltese citizens is increasing both locally and abroad. Turning Malta into another Dubai just like Joseph Muscat is proposing would destroy the fabric of this nation.

Below you can watch some of the latest AI-slop of a law-firm in Malta called Belgravia Advisors that is promoting Maltese citizenship. This is Joseph Muscat’s legacy which has turned Maltese citizenship into a commodity. Having closed down the Golden Passport scheme, now, lawyers are promoting the obtaining of Maltese citizenship through “naturalisation” which includes marriage – an illegal way of obtaining any country’s citizenship. Belgravia also employs Bangladeshi and Indian lawyers to deal with clients of these respective countries. The academics who are virtue-signaling about xenophobia every time this subject is discussed are blindly supporting the rabid commodification of citizenship migration. The eventual result of the left’s blindness about these matters, unfortunately, leaves the far-right as the only and sole contender that is publicly appearing to address these issues.
