Gavin Contro il Mondo

In an article shown today on l-Orizzont (a left leaning local newspaper published in Maltese), Labour MP Gavin Gulia deplores government for not having solved the irregular immigration problem during the ten days he was away from Malta. He proposes Malta to take "drastic action" in light of the lack of attention Malta has received from the International Community.

Gulia seems to believe that by making an allusion to vulgar expressions like, "I'll tell you now in which anatomical part will the EU consider our 'voice' (Nixtieq nghidilkom f’liema parti ta’ l-anatomija tal-bniedem l-Unjoni Ewropea se tpoggi l-”vuci” taghna)" he will persuade the readers that Labour, the party he represents is committed to provide constructive criticm. Poor man, his miss is as hood as a mile.

By throwing mud on the Maltese complaints, Gulia, and the Left in Malta is not going anywhere. Instead of pushing the common border patrol agency project launched in 2000, or imitating Spain, France, Portugal, Italy and the United Kingdom who in 2002 launched a border patrol operation dubbed Ulysses or else suggesting a proposal for the ARGO programme, Left media and Labour politicians prefer to play the government's game - misinform the public and play the victim.

I hope Gulia and friends take McNulthy's advice, cut this nonsense and start working on something substantial instead. We need action, not words.
