While the Prime Minister,
the Deputy Prime Minister and a couple of assistants [ the Maltese Delegation
] were basking at Bastille Day celebrations in Paris to the tune of "O
Sole Mio", in my country the People were playing to the tune of "Anarchy
in the Sun", a preoccupying, dramatic and alarming situation where
only person stood out : Minister Gatt, Augostino Pio!
Dr Austin Gatt in doing his job and acting tough when the going got tough
faced an impossible,hazardous,dangerous and anarchic enveloping of the
country`s democratic style of life by a band of people that irrespective
of their cause mutinied against order and public peace, violated the rights
of the Maltese People and our Guests, created chaos and fear, risked the
well-being and life of others, threatened directly and/or indirectly the
competent democratic authorities of our land, ridiculed our Police and
Soldiers who became simply Plasticine to mould as one deemed fit,hence
these people clearly and unequivocally violated vigorously the laws of
the land.
The People, my People, demand an explanation how all this came to pass
and how from a hearsey matter, it turned out a horrendous matter involving
the key players in Public Transport in our country and finding our Minority
Government with pants down listening to the tunes of "O Sole Mio"
& our Archbishop doing his "Waltzing Matilda" leaving a
Government Minister to face the political music all on his own, with one
wondering where was the Minister for Justice & Interior Matters, why
was not the Army & Police mobilized right away, why Castille could
easily have been sacked and burned down had not aggression somewhat temporarily
abated ?
Malta at that moment was facing the possibility of Civil War which prompts
many questions to be asked and replies called for if we are to confidently
believe ours is a Democracy and not a Mafia Run country!
