latest comment from Santana Santana, 19/06/2024 14:18: Perhaps if the Government fiscal structural plan includes the reigning in of substantial expenses by: 1) Ridding the Executive of phantom jobs. 2) Discontinuing the board memberships that are useless and superfluous to requirements. 3) Reducing substantially, the direct orders by Ministries for purchases that should be competitively tendered for. 4) Auditing the government funded bodies that go over budget, such as the Malta Film Commission. 5) Stop financing the lifestyle of an ex PM. 6) Start getting paid for public land transfers, at the real market price. 7) Ensuring, with powerful oversight resources, that social benefits go where they are supposed to. 8) Stop purchasing rudimentary bus stop shelters for €20,000. ...the EC might look more favourably on the subsidies.

latest comment from Bernadette Vassallo, 17/06/2024 21:24: SUCH FILTH!How filthy the Malta law courts toilets were today showing Malta has become really third world.What a complete health hazard.Close the courts of justice down in Malta please there is no other solution. The magistrates and judges have lost their cool all around.Like the mental hospital that finally is slowly being closed down supposedly. I can’t beleive these lawyers judges and their clients have had to work in such poor third world sanitation conditions.A complete stand against the lack of hygiene. No toilet paper. Toilets out of order. Floor completely flooded with sewage I guess.One cubicle toilet on the first floor worked and one cubicle toilet on the second with no handsoap and one with no toilet paper either and of course the locks jammed with people banging them in desperstion and I got stuck in one of the two for an awful few seconds.No lawyers working in five star courts as five star courtrooms don’t exist in Malta instead the lawyers work in the Maltese one star courts. I PROTEST.What about their graduation oath, the respect for their profession all lost in poor,way below acceptable sanitation conditions.Way below the level of sanitation dignity expected in a court and acceptable for a court.The judges and magistrates are honestly in contempt of court.
