Political spying worries AD

Alternattiva Demokratika yesterday expressed concern over the alleged spying on political personalities by Mitts personnel now under police investigation.

AD chairman Arnold Cassola said political espionage is something of a very serious nature which, if proven true, could have serious consequences for the proper working of the democratic institutions of the country.

Henrik Piski, spokesman on IT, said the intrusion of hackers into the network of Mitts is very worrying and all efforts have to be made to restore security and confidence in the government network.

Is that as far as your understanding of democracy takes you ?

Actually the 60's never left Malta. We still are a people manipulated by right-winged corrupt forces that manifested themselves so strongly in favour of a fascist-nazist Europe before the second world war. These kinds of people strongly believe that the end justifies the means and the end they look forward to is certainly not the one that favours the ordinary worker. Now we have globalization to dazzle the minds. On the other hand, when worker forces come out with international labour solidarity they call it communism.
Of course, what the heck is in a name? But not for most. So it is effective. The result is there for all to see. We live in a world in which thanks to unbridled capitalism and corrupt capitalistic governments, greed and corruption have brought the strongest of the world's economies to their knees. The ones to suffer of course are the small ordinary working people.
The silver lining of the situation is that what goes round comes around. One day, probably soon, pay up time will arrive, and when that happens, heads will roll faster than balls in a pinball machine

IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY ALTERNATIVA DEMOCRATIKA have political spying worries
IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE , why worry
