Malta has been greylisted. It should have known that this would happen. If Iceland was greylisted in 2019, why did the Maltese authorities believe that they would fare any better, given the depth and breadth of the financial misconduct that has permeated the economy and the highest echelons of the government and the police in recent years?
The Maltese government must now stop any disingenuous whining and get to work. It cannot seriously claim to wake up today to the fact that Malta is a small country.
Malta is a small country today, it was a small country yesterday and it will remain a small country tomorrow.
