I note that foreigners have bought property to the value of €35 million, while one such person has, apocryphally, run up medical bills of half a million euros. So what’s the problem?
Malta is €34.5 million ahead so far, not to mention all the additional spending on cars, clothes, food etc., most of which will have had VAT added.
In addition all will be subjected to the totally bogus extra 30 per cent or more added to their utility bills for no reason other than they are foreigners and therefore fair game to be ripped off further.
Attracting “the rich and affluent” to come to Malta is a joke given the above.
