Long hot summer ahead : Bahrija protest

Abstract

Someone thought it fit to jump the gun and predict my no-show at the Baħrija Valley protest last week. Such a forecast misfired in spectacular fashion as it was based on the warped idea that once an individual is tainted politically, he/she will have to toe the party line faithfully on all issues. The bearer of the placard failed to realise that my commitment towards the preservation of hamlets like Baħrija dates back almost a decade. It will not fizzle away simply because the applicant in this case happens to be a high-ranking official within the PN.
