Panama is going to remain a taint on Malta for a long time to come…The Opposition has urged the government to use its geographical position as the closest EU country to Libya to up its game on intelligence gathering in the country. The fact that Libya is so unstable increases the pressure on Malta, and it must work closely with Federica Mogherini to bring all Libyan factions to the table to trash out a solution. Migrants should be screened and identified in their home countries, similar to the system that exists in the USA, and while vulnerable ones should be allowed access to Europe, ineligible ones should be denied entry. This means that the original proposal to grant Turks visa-free access to Europe and although Erdogan has threatened to scrap the migrant deal, I believe that the EU should hold its stance. If Simon Busuttil doesn’t win the next election, then I will help him win the next one.I will not entertain hypotheses.
