When we first reported that the Labour government was to propose Judge Consuelo Scerri Herrera for Chief Justice, we pointed out that the Labour government was trying to leverage its position as best as it could. It is also true that by playing this cynical game, the Prime Minister also tried to effectively impose a dictatorship.
This means that if Labour had the power to impose a dictatorship, it would. The Labour Party is not doing politics in the spirit of the Constitution and democracy, it is being driven solely by the interests of its top leadership and the party structure that currently supports it.
Academics are not highlighting this very grave point because they are locked-in in an industrial dispute over their demand for a six-figure publicly-funded salary. Or maybe it’s because they prefer to bite at the bones thrown at them by the Prime Minister by indulging in the banality of the “Gaza Board of Peace”.
That the Labour Party has evolved into a criminal organisation is not news: but that Labour does not longer have pretenses about this is an ongoing development. It’s also very ironic because one of our main points of contention of previous Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi was that he had concentrated all the power of the country into his hands and his clique of idiots. Now, the Prime Minister is doing the same but to a much higher degree, even by attempting to capture, wholesale, the Judiciary and turn it into his pawn.
Many people don’t seem to be very bothered about this and I also suspect that Labour is very much aware of this, hence why it isn’t afraid of showing a very explicit and public disregard to the independence of State institutions. Everything will be bought and put under Labour’s control if not enough people are opposing this gradual transition to dictatorship.
