During the political debate at the University between the party leaders, a Labour-leaning student complained to the Prime Minister about the parking problem on the University grounds, unknowingly showing the affluence of our students and the financial well-being of Maltese families, who can afford to provide cars for their children.

This has been brought about by successive Nationalist governments. Yet, a section of the students, led by imported Labour supporters, were determined to show their ingratitude to the person who contributed to all this. While our students complain about lack of parking places, students in other countries are protesting about rising University fees and other austerity measures affecting their studies. But it seems that our students have taken everything for granted, forgetting how badly treated their predecessors were. Only a few years back, the Labour government turned students’ grants into loans.

A lot of foreign students would just love to change places with our own students.
