The Muscat government is very adept at announcing new initiatives with great pomp and circumstance. Two that come to mind, however, show this is a government inhibiting a parallel world full of smoke and mirrors.

Taking first Justice Minister Owen Bonnici’s latest announcement to repeal the ‘porn’ laws. He informed all and sundry that the Maltese can now be trusted to watch whatever they felt like watching without having the police breathing down their neck. All fine and dandy I hear you say.

The same Bonnici though, together with his Prime Minister and fellow ministers, feels that we Maltese cannot be trusted with knowing the contents of all the secret agreements the Muscat government is entering into with all sort of entities and governments. In essence, we are adult enough to watch porn to our hearts’ content but not adult enough to know what the Muscat government is binding us with.

Take Civil Rights Minister Helena Dalli, who announced LGBT initiatives with great pomp and circumstance. With her, Malta’s high ranking in LGBT issues is grand, but at the same time she is not bothered about the pervasive political discrimination and favouritism unleased on us since the Muscat government won the 2013 election. In other words, LGBT rights are for Dalli higher than basic human rights.

And to reinforce this, Dalli had no second thoughts about employing in her secretariat someone who was part ofthose obnoxious 1970s and1980s Socialist governments, best known for their human rights violations.

Makes you wonder does it not, about the hidden agenda the Muscat government has?
