WELCOME TO THE CNI WEBPAGE

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

TELL YOUR PARLIAMENTARY DEPUTY THAT YOU WANT MALTA TO REGAIN INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM

The European Union ordered that in 2011 the Maltese and Gozitan people pay it €68,000,000

€186,000 daily stolen from your childrens mouths

“If a referendum had to be held to approve the Lisbon Treaty, how would you have voted?”,

This significant fact has been revealed by Michael Parnis, Deputy General Secretary (International and Education) of the GWU, in this newspaper on 11 July.

What do the Maltese Parliamentary Deputies who have all voted in favour of the Lisbon Treaty when it was presented in Parliament have to say about this fact?

We are sorry to note that as is happening in other European Union countries, is happening in our country, and the majority of the people do not think the same as the politicians about the European Union.

The politicians fell to the Union policy and propaganda, while

* the majority of the people are being crushed ever more by the bad effects of membership in the union,

* the social and financial damage of thousands of illegal immigrants that are coming to our country,

It is enough to remember that every single illegal immigrant is costing our country around 30 Ewros daily.

Michael Parnis, among many proper observations that he made on his page last week, commented that the Maltese people are going to continue to lose because they are not going to be consulted directly about what the European Union is going to do and this will lead the European Union to be far away from many Maltese persons.

On our side we say that we agree that the people are not going to be consulted directly and this is a democratic loss.

But we are not sorry that the EU is going to remain far away from the people.

On the contrary we hope that the people will get farther away from it so much so that they will decide to leave the Union.

This would be a great victory for the Maltese people and in particular for the workers.

While it is true that the European Union is pressing the Government to privatize and liberalize everything, it is also true that the Government is using the words privatization and liberalization and monopolies to hide the deceit that it has committed on the Shipyard workers prior to the election when it assured them that they were not going to lose their jobs, and on the transport vehicles owners whet it assured them that it was not going to touch transport.

The Government is using the people by reminding them that part of their taxes are being paid in subsidies for the Shipyard, and using the consumers by making them swallow the fib that they will pay less if monopolies are terminated.

The Government is making strong propaganda to make the people forget what is the crux of the matter.

It is not whether privatization and liberalization are good and monopolies are bad, but that the Government is not keeping its work that it had given in writing to the Shipyard workers and to the owners of transport vehicles so that these will vote for it in the General Election.

The crux of the matter is the deceit and treachery of the Government.

The Government disciples in the media and in the owners and traders organizations are also being accomplices in the hiding of the treachery and deceit of the Government, by not showing that they want to help the Government and not saying that their sectors will benefit with what the Government wants to do.

Instead they are insisting that it will be better for the country with the measures that the government takes as ordered by the European Union.

To do better, because the Shipyard workers objected that they are going to lose their job and the transport vehicles owners protested because their work was being endangered, the Government disciples in the media and the owners and traders organizations condemn them and accuse them of causing damage to the economy of the country and the citizens.

While it states that everyone has the right to have recourse to industrial action to protect their interests, at the same time it insists that it is not ready to discuss when industrial actions are being taken, which itself admits that they are the right of whoever takes industrial action.

Meanwhile, with all its arrogance, it accuses whoever is making use of their right of industrial action, that they are causing damage to the country and the people, when it is the Government arrogance that cancels discussion meetings which is causing the lengthening of the time for an agreement on the present issues.

Probably, if there is not a threat, the Government will not move to negotiate.

The important thing is that the Government will be strong and not conclude a bad agreement because it is under threat.

Therefore the Government should always discuss and negotiate and should not pretend that no one threatens it, but it should not surrender by making a wrong agreement because it is being threatened.

If there is someone who is always threatening it is the Government who always says that if the measures that it wants are not accepted, it will close the Shipyard, or bankrupts Sea Malta, or that it will revoke the permits of whoever takes part in industrial action, or one thing or the other.

At the same time the Government should act in a manner that does not provoke industrial actions against it that cause damage to the people and the country.

It is the Government that is at fault for the damage of industrial actions taken against it and the measures that it takes, especially when the Government goes against what it had previously promised prior to the general Election.

It is not the time for one to discuss privatization, liberalization and the removal of monopolies that the European Union wants, now that the country is under industrial action that are caused by the deceit and treachery committed by the Government before the Election.

The present time requires that the Government and all the parties do not make prior conditions to talk and discuss to negotiate together an agreement about the measures that are to be taken to protect the interests of the transport vehicles owners, assure a better future for our country and the Maltese people.

Excise duty and the European Union

We have for years, both in this page as well as in the CNI programmes on Smash TV, been showing you with facts and figures how the prices of fuel and other oil products shall have to increase, because of the minimum excise duty that the Maltese government shall have to introduce on these products.

due to the minimum Excise tax that the EU imposed on the Maltese Government.

Now we have seen the prices of these products rocket sky high on the international market and also in Malta.

The Government wants the people to believe that this increase in the prices of these products is only due to the high price of oil in the international markets.

The Government is hiding the fact that in that high price that we are paying for

nearly half of it is VAT and Excise duty taxes.

On Wednesday 9 July the news came that the Government has increased the Excise duty on these products to the minimum imposed by the EU, two years before he could do so according to the agreement with the EU.

Then we, the CNI, were again right when we published the Excise duty figures that the European Union imposed upon the Maltese Government.

Is it possible that there are still those who want the Maltese people to believe that with Malta in the EU we can live better than we would if the running of our country will be back in our own hands, so that in times of crisis as we are presently experiencing in our country, no one will interfere and order us how much we should make or reduce Excise duty and other taxes, according to circumstances and always in the interest of our country?

The Irish Prime Minister did not even read the Treaty

We have come to know that the Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowan did not even read the Lisbon Treaty.

Then you can imagine how the Treaty was read by all the other politicians of all those parties in Ireland who insisted with the Irish voters to vote “Yes” in the referendum.

One of the excuses that the Irish Prime Minister brought forward to justify why the people voted “NO” was that the people did not understand properly what the Treaty contains.

I believe that the Prime Minister himself did not understand what is in the Treaty once he himself did not read it.

And therefore we ask how could Brian Cowen ever tell the Irish people to vote ‘Yes” when he himself did not know what was in the Treaty?

Now if the Prime Minister of a country where a referendum was going to be held did not even try to read the Lisbon Treaty, you can imagine in our country, where no referendum was going to be held, how many of the Parliamentary Deputies and Ministers had read the Treaty before they decided to vote “Yes” in Parliament.

In the BBC World news on 27 June it was announced that discussions were to be held between the European Union and Russia on a “strategic partnership”.

Do you remember how many times they had told us that partnership does not exist in the EU?

We had warned you that they were trying to scare us uselessly, because such agreements had already existed with other countries, not only in Europe, but also outside Europe.

For yet another time the oil has surfaced on the water and CNI was right.

If yes, help CNI in its work so that the majority of the people would want to get rid of European Union rule.
