Prime Minister Robert Abela peddles Kremlin threats to Europe and says Malta’s relationship with the US is at its best ever
Questioned about “the international situation” by his ONE News host, Prime Minister Robert Abela said that he was reluctant to comment so as not to jeapordise Malta’s interests. He said that Malta’s relationship with the US is at its best ever also thanks to the work of the Foreign Minister Ian Borg. The Prime Minister…

And who will defend the UN Charter?
Malta’s foreign policy has not changed very much as the government aligning with Europe over Ukraine while refusing to provide weapons aid to Ukraine due “neutrality” and also opposing the use of frozen Russian assets for opportunistic and populist reasons under the pretenses of risk and war. Malta is acting similarly to Greece on its…

Nothing new from the EU’s Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Burssels as decision-making moves to Paris and London
Nothing new came out from the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting yesterday, as major European decisions on Ukraine are being decided by who has the most military might in Europe: namely France and the United Kingdom. Both of these countries are proposing to send their troops to Ukraine as a security guarantee, gut their future…

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing: Foreign Affairs Minister Ian Borg
During most of the ongoing debates about Malta’s defence and neutrality, Ukraine and Europe, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for Foreign Affairs Ian Borg has been conspicuously absent. He is currently totally detached from ongoing and historic debates taking place right now in Malta on defence, and is living in a parallel world…

Evarist Bartolo admits in public (again) that he is being paid by foreign dictatorships to speak out against Malta’s foreign policy
Following the publication of this article, where I published Evarist Bartolo’s admission that he is on the payroll of foreign dictatorships to speak out against Malta’s foreign policy, Bartolo issued a statement in which he made a similar admission. His excuse? His sponsors don’t tell him what to say. Pathetic. His sponsors pay him because…

Robert Abela is so stressed he isn’t even able to articulate his position
After using the war in Gaza as an opportunity to open a diatribe against European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, and after having been forced to sign a declaration against Hamas after refusing to condemn them when asked about Hamas in Malta by a Maltese journalist, Robert Abela is now unable to articulate his position on…

Malta should make its concerns to the Tunisian government on the erosion of democracy
Tunisia is currently descending into authoritarianism once again and Malta as a neighbouring liberal democracy should directly and upfront make its concerns on the state of Tunisia’s democracy to Tunisia’s President Kais Saied and his government. Instead, the Maltese government is holding thanks with its Tunisian counterparts as if it’s business as usual – it’s…

Shopping in Rome while the Premier-husband solicits gas pipelines
Since we are discussing Malta’s foreign policy and Robert Abela’s recent trip to Italy, it is worth mentioning that Lydia, Robert’s wife accompanied her Premier husband on the private jet to Italy only to spend the five hours of the visit shopping in Rome. Lydia also took their daughter with her. Of course, the trip…

The reality on Malta’s reputation
As the saga of the Rosianne and Yorgen chat revelations unfolded and the rule of law in Europe was discussed in the European Parliament, Robert Abela and the Labour Party are pressing with the authoritarian narrative that people like me are traitors to the country for ruining its reputation. This accusation is laughable. I already…

The myth of Russian indispensability
The reminiscences of Europe’s Dark Ages keep coming back as Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz capitulate to Europe’s aggressor compromising in the process its security and defence. Abroad, the consequences of Scholz and Macron are that Russia keeps waging its war on Ukraine with impunity while other authoritarian regimes, especially those that have nuclear weapons…

It makes sense that Varist is being pushed for President
It does make sense that Evarist Bartolo is being pushed for President, but not in a good way. It makes sense for a corrupt and inept government which plans to keep good relationships with rogue states like Russia in the name of their warped interpretation of Malta’s neutrality. So, Varist was interviewed by Saviour Balzan…

Dislocation from the Western camp
Maltese citizens may soon lose their right to enter the USA without a VISA as a bipartisan bill in the US Congress aims to halt the US VISA waiver programme to countries which sell their passports. It is no coincidence that the erosion of our democracy and rule of law is aligned with our foreign…
