As of the day of the vicious vote, the shameful speeches on the floor of parliament, and the glib, direct reiteration of the government’s policy to treat ARI’s as badly as possible, I have pivoted from the “not a scam but badly managed” camp to the “it is a scam” camp.
I don’t mean it was always a scam, but now it is.
Also, if the law that moves the goalposts for current residents is not stopped, I’ll add “flagrantly disrespects EU values and the Constitution–not a rule of law state” to my criticisms. Caveat emptor.
Iniciativa Liberal, et tu Brute? You have joined forces with the epitome of illiberalism. You hypocrites! You cowards! I will never forgive you.
