Breathlessly

Abstract

At this point it's complete bedlam. Beyond the truths and fabrications, veracities and falsehoods, yonder of what people think and what the facts are it has indeed turned into a situation where this country is grinding to a halt. This is indeed the tail end of a political soap (or soup?) opera. What we have seen unravelling over these last years can be documented as two political parties fighting it out tooth and nail not only on the issues that matter but seemingly to get their pound of flesh - dishing out 'the scandals and the scoops' when it is 'strategically convenient' to reveal them has become the rule of the day. This political scenario has sunk to depths that I personally cannot recollect. When two leaders, even if they come from opposing positions, cannot see eye-to eye in itself becomes a seminal moment. We will keep hearing about this Egrant issue for weeks and months to come. At this point Head of State HE President of Malta Marie Louise Coleiro Preca needs to come into play and guide this nation out of this conundrum of accuracies and falsehoods and in this delicate moment offer guidance at least for the leaders to keep some sort of level headedness.
