The Fenech Adami family, despite the clamor made by lesser figures, holds undue influence over the political scene. The Aquilina brothers, the Caruana Galizia family, Manuel Delia, the Bocca, and Pawlu Borg Olivier, despite their outspokenness, are mere small fish in this pond. The real power lies with the Fenech Adami family and Kevin Cassar, who manipulate the Nationalist Party like puppeteers.
Their grip reflects their desire to keep Bernard Grech as leader, ensuring that their interests remain safeguarded. Not long after a disastrous survey, Beppe strategically posted a photo on Facebook, signaling his intention to maintain the status quo and his distance from failures.
Their past actions, such as pushing out Delia when he encroached on their stronghold in Birkirkara, reveal their blatant power moves. They cozy up to Bernard Grech, ensuring the party stays fractured to pave the way for another Fenech Adami reign, eying a future takeover where their influence would stretch for decades, reminiscent of his grandfather’s era.
The purported heirs, including Beppe’s son and Kevin Cassar’s son, are already making waves, having participated in protests against Robert Abela, showcasing early signs of calculated grooming for power.
Nationalist supporters anticipating any genuine change are bound for disappointment. Anyone pinning hopes on Bernard transforming the party or Metsola stepping in for a revolution is deceiving themselves.
The Fenech Adami vision for the party’s future is singular and relentless: it’s either their dynasty’s remediation or stagnation. This brazen attitude underscores a chilling disregard for genuine democratic progress.
