    Wouldn't this mean the only jurors you can pick are those who don't read the news, even from time to time (i.e. the least informed people)?

    Excerpt on Malta's citizenship "by investment" programme

    Excerpt on Malta's citizenship "by investment" programme

    The elephant in the room, of course, was that as a member state of the EU, Malta’s citizenship was a buy-one, get-26-for-free package: All EU nationals have the right to move freely within the bloc, as well as live, work and transact in all of its jurisdictions. And, after years of pressure.., the European Commission — the EU’s lawmaking body — dragged Malta to court, promising to put an end to the matter.

    The lawsuit has not gone according to plan. The ECJ has yet to make a final decision on the case, but on Oct. 4, Malta scored a big point in convincing the court’s Advocate General — whose advice parties typically follow — to urge the Commission to drop its case. There was no EU directive that defined what it meant for a person to have meaningful ties to their passport’s nation, let alone one requiring them to prove it, wrote the advocate, Anthony Collins. States had sold access to their territory before.
