I have questions; having lived here for only three years, I don’t have the answers. Since I can’t vote, I kindly ask you to answer them. I have been taught that if the system doesn’t work properly, citizens should demand it be fixed. If they aren’t, why not replace the politicians? According to what I hear and read, people believe that foreigners are the root of all evil in Malta. Last time I looked, contractors, developers, MPs, the Planning Authority, the police and ministers all are Maltese. Since I don’t drive, why am I blamed for traffic congestion? When we moved here, my wife and I decided not to add to the congestion, so we use buses. And why are the streets and pavements often in such bad shape? Why is it that all responsibility for cleanliness ends at each person’s doorstep? And don’t tell me it’s those pesky foreigners. Shouldn’t all people take responsibility for their actions? Why is transparency a bad word in Malta? Everything’s a secret. If there is a document available that answers a question, why hide it? Where is freedom of information? Why do contractors fail at protecting their workers? And residents around the construction? Why are contractors not held...
