WELCOME TO THE CNI WEBPAGE

CAMPAIGN FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE

Was, is and shall remain in favour of Maltese workers

and against Malta's membership of the European Union

WE SWEAR TO FREE MALTA FROM THE SLAVERY, COLONIALISM AND DICTATORIAL ILLEGAL EUROPEAN UNION RULE

While in many European Union countries the economy has again been expanding, unemployment also increased. It is clear that the cause of this contradictory phenomenon is the mistaken policy that the EU embraces and imposes on its member countries.

Because to combat the economic recession the EU encouraged the governments of the member countries to spend billions to give them to the banks so that these will overcome the difficulties that they were in.

But the billions that the governments spent, neither increased consumption nor increased jobs.

But if the governments spent billions to employ people, consumption would have increased, the burden on social assistance would have decreased and the government’s income from taxes would have increased.

The fundamental deficit in the EU policy is that it does not permit the government to, after giving all help to the private sector to increase the number of employees that it employs, to employ in the public sector all those who remain unemployed.

Because for the EU,

* the principle of work for everyone

* does not come first

* and as a consequence of this,

* notwithstanding the economic expansion,

* in the EU there is mass unemployment

* which today reaches around 22 million.

The EU does not believe in social justice and does not practice the social solidarity that it preaches.

And the EU policy is worse than this

* because it insists with the member countries

* to decrease their expense

* on social services

* that are the means with which to decrease the sufferings of those unemployed.

That is why in the EU,

* while the few get richer more and more,

* the masses of the families suffer decreased standard of living

* and poverty spreads much more.

For the EU the person is not the centre of its policy,

* but profit is the aim of its policy

* and the market

* and competition

* are the means with which it wants to achieve this aim.

What the EU is interested in is only how much economic activity increases.

It does not care that unemployment increases, as long as economy expands.

CNI believes in an opposite policy to that which the EU embraces and imposes upon its member countries, including Malta.

For the CNI,

* a just government first must assure that everyone in the country works

* and that work for all assures the best possible economic level for the country.

Therefore the resources of the country should be used so that, before any other aims, everyone will have work.

Work should come before the market,

* competition

* and profit   

* contrary to what the Union believes in

* and imposes.

The EU policy of not allowing the government to give protection to the country’s industries

* brings with it a reduction in jobs

* and creates unemployment,

* while increasing importation

* with the consequence

* that the payments made outside the country for the increase in importation,

* will not remain in circulation in the country.

This is the great damage that our country is suffering with membership in the European Union:

* importation increased,

* more money went out of the country than it used to before,

* factories closed and many jobs were lost,

* export decreased and less money came from outside the country.

The fact that we became part of the big EU market served nothing for work not to decrease and jobs not to be lost.

While our country is always facing the demographic problem of an increase in population more than the country can sustain, the EU is faced with an opposite demographic problem, because the EU population is decreasing.

At the same time the EU policy to combat this problem is mistaken and senseless.

In fact the EU supports birth control and the destruction of babies before they are born (abortion).

The two measures are denying the EU every year millions of children, with the consequences that the same population is aging without the balance of an increase in the youthful population to at least the unbalance between the number of youth and that of old people does not increase.

At the same time the EU wants to increase the population to keep in step with the economic expansion.

And for this to succeed, the EU is encouraging illegal immigration with the pretext of giving asylum to refugees and to those who deserve humanitarian protection.

CNI does not agree with the EU demographic policy

* because it considers that it goes against the values of the Maltese people

* and against our national interests

* apart from being a wrong and contradictory policy.

Even the EU policy of the freedom of movement of persons resulted in not being suitable for our country because more persons came from EU countries to work in Malta than Maltese persons went to work in other EU countries.

And when we have a chronic shortage of jobs, when we have more than 7,500 registering for employment, it is not in the interest of our country to allow foreigners to come to work here.

More so when the Government has admitted that it is very concerned that around 2,000 youths that have ended schooling during the last scholastic year are not registering that they are working and are neither registering for work.

Now for the CNI,

* the greatest problem with the EU policy

* is found in the liberal-capitalist ideology

* that it orders every member country

* to forcefully implement,

* notwithstanding that it,

* before becoming a member,

* used to implement a just social policy,

* not like that of the EU,

* and with which the country had succeeded

* during the years

* to develop economically

* and become socially strengthened,

* as our country had done.

The EU does not want to admit

* that the liberal-capitalist policy had failed

* and led it to today’s economic and financial crisis,

* with 22 million registering for work,

* with more millions of families approaching poverty

* and with governments burdened with billions of euros debt,

* at the same time that in the EU reigns without any hindrance

* waste,

* theft,

* corruption

* and inefficiencies.

For these reasons and many others, CNI insists that the Maltese people should not make their own the wrong EU policy.

The Maltese people are going to pay the European Union the sum of €66 million next year.

According to the Government estimates that were broadcast last Monday,

* the Minister for Finance Tonio Fenech               

* declared that from the taxes paid by the people,

* in 2010,                                                   

* he will have an expense of €66,500,000

* that are going to the Union.                   

This also means that next year                       

* we are going to pay to the EU €9,900,000

* more than we paid it this year,                  

* after this year                                               

* we are going to have paid the EU             

* €5,300,000 more than last year.                

And in the year 2007 as a people we paid in taxes €53,164,000 to the EU.

During the last four years altogether we are going to have paid to the Union the total amount of €227,509,031.

These result from the official Maltese Government estimates.

This sum is only a small part from the total amount that our country spends due to EU membership.

Because the expenses that we have to make because of membership are more than double the amount that we pay to the EU every year.

But this great expense of our country is being hidden from the Maltese people.

That is why the Government is refusing to make and publish a ‘cost benefit analysis of Malta’s membership in the UE.

It is shameful that when our country is going to have a deficit of more than €200 million next year, the Union is going to take from us more than €66 million.

One can say that part of the €66 million that we are going to pay next year to the EU, are going to come from the €52 million that the Maltese people shall have to pay more than this year in Income Tax

Open Europe, an organization based in the United Kingdom, carried out a survey of public opinion with a specific question to the citizens in all the member states of the European Union.

The question was: "If a new treaty is made that gives more powers to the EU, do you think that the people should make their opinion heard by means of a referendum or public consultation? Or do you think that it should be only the national parliament that ratifies the treaty?”

The result of the research was as follows:

County           YES   NO   Don’t know

                        %       %     %              

Ireland           87       11      1                

Greece           83       14      3                

UK                 83       15       2               

Czech Rep     82       15       3               

France            81       16       3               

Latvia             80       11       9               

Germany        77       23       0                

MALTA         77       17       6                

Cyprus           76        21       3                

Estonia           74       16      10               

Luxembourg  74        23        3               

Poland            74        16      10               

Belgium          73        25        2               

Denmark        73        22        5               

Spain               73        24        3              

Finland            72        25        3              

Bulgaria          71        13      16              

Austria            71        25        4              

Italy                70         23       7               

Sweden            68        30        2              

Lithuania         67        15      18              

Hungary          66        30        4              

Romania          66        11      23              

Portugal           64        21      15              

Slovakia          64        20       16              

Holland            62        29        9              

Slovenia           55        40        5              

From this table it is clear that the absolute majority of the citizens or people of the member states want to voice their opinion whenever the EU would want to make a new treaty that gives it more powers that would then be able to be taken from national governments.

Therefore it appears as clearly as can be that when the EU manoeuvered so that no referendum will be held in any state on the Lisbon Treaty it was denying the will of all the European people to voice their opinion.

And with the Lisbon Treaty it is going so to say to be impossible in the future for the EU citizens to express their opinion by means of a referendum.

Then you read and hear the EU “apostles” in our country preach that the Union WANTS TO BE NEAR ITS CITIZENS.

I am sure that if the same question of Open Europe was made to the MEPs and the political parties in all the member states, the answer would have been precisely the opposite of what was said by the citizens.

This is the democracy that exists in the EU. Is there any politician that wants to contradict us?
