I remember a time when Labour Party politicians like Alex Agius Saliba used to believe in socialism, when corruption scandalised us and prompted us to organise street protests, and when the main MIDI investors were considered parasites extracting wealth from our nation and public resources.
It all changed very quickly when these individuals held power, and their perception of life and the world changed dramatically as Joseph Muscat turned them into useful idiots for his criminal organisation, which was extracting wealth from the public via major corruption deals.
Alex Agius Saliba grew up to hate everything that Joseph Muscat eventually built: the sale of public hospitals, massive corrupt deals over public resources, and the engagement of some of the most opportunistic and corrupt Nationalists with the Labour Party. Alex Agius Saliba gave up his character, his ideas and his beliefs all for power and career.
There is a very popular cliché that says people reveal their true colours when they become rich. In some way, this also applies to power and politics. People like Alex Agius Saliba showed their true colours when they achieved power and were compelled to fight for it. Alex Agius Saliba gave up his scrupulous socialism as soon as he was compelled to defend outright criminality to preserve his power and career.
It is all so very sad and depressing, but in reality it also serves as an excellent testament to Labour’s fall and degeneracy.
The Labour Party is a criminal organisation that is vying for a one-party state, and politics in Malta is no longer about a vision for the future or political economy: it is about how much, and to what extent, Labour will successfully enforce its power and rule over the country.
Labour has obviously lost its reason, and what used to be a politics of democratic socialism has now become economic populism and state patronage. The only thing that matters is power and its preservation, and populism is Labour’s method to stay in power and build its one-party state.
Alex Agius Saliba used to be the kind of person who was scandalised by a story about a politician being in bed with a major businessman engaged in public deals. He now endorses the same kind of people he used to hate. This sad spectacle of criminality and degeneracy is now being taken for granted and normalised, but in reality, it is still as outrageous and wrong as it has ever been.
The Labour Party no longer has any political and ideological direction planned in advance: its politics are fully engaged and made in the interests of power and its preservation. Outright criminals like Rosianne Cutajar, who betrayed public trust and engaged in wanton criminal conspiracy and corruption, have to be defended to preserve Labour’s criminal cliques and, ultimately, Joseph Muscat’s impunity. Literal criminals are occupying positions of power instead of people who can actually make a difference and a positive contribution to our country.
Defeating Labour is not just a political argument; it is a fight against Malta’s most powerful criminal organisation. Any argument contesting this is reductive.
Rosianne Cutajar was meant to be charged in Court over corruption, fraud and money-laundering but Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa and Attorney-General Victoria Buttigieg sabotage her criminal investigation and literally blocked her arraignment in Court.
