Jason Azzopardi, on behalf of the Opposition, made a song and dance about the fact that he found a mistake in the typing of the legal notice on the citizenship by investment program (IIP), because in the Maltese version, instead of “five years” there was written “three years”.

Azzopardi must have been working overtime to try to find something for the Opposition to clutch onto, so as to cover up for their grave legal gaffe when Simon Busuttil announced they would be presenting amendments to the legal notice, when they should have known that a legal notice can only be annulled and not amended.

So I suggest that Owen Bonnici ensure that some legal expert examines with a magnifying glass both the English and Maltese texts of the legal notice, to make sure that all spelling and grammar is correct, lest Azzopardi find a comma where there should be a full stop or vice versa.
