Listen to what Malta’s left has to say. Listen to the political arguments on the systemic failure. The neoliberal experiment has failed. This is the answer to the assertion of the lackeys of the government who go on television to tell anyone who still has the patience to listen that “is-sistema ta’ Muscat hadmet”. 10 electoral victories, an increasing electoral majority. The lawchitect with questionable grasp of basic constitutional principles repeated this again and again on Xarabank.
The real world begs to differ. Aside from the criminal corruption that is festering within the system there is also a socio-political reality that is best expressed by the Leftist Movement assembled under Paul Boffa’s statue today. Theirs is a damning criticism of the trojan horse politics that Muscat used to capture the system. Theirs is a reminder that outside the world of business and barons and friends of friends there is a Malta that is desperately in need of clean politics.
This too is part of the change. Graffitti and all the other NGO’s gathered today outside Castille are part of this new revolution. The road to the New Republic is long but we are in this together. Till the end.
