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
TELL YOUR PARLIAMENTARY DEPUTY THAT YOU WANT MALTA TO REGAIN INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM
In the seven years 2007 – 2013 the Maltese and Gozitans are going to pay €420,000,000 to the European Union
The Labour Party should continue with its opposition to Malta’s EU Membership Agreement
By
means of a letter that he sent confidentially to all the Labour Party Delegates,
Dr Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici appealed to them to give their support for a motion
that is expected to be presented to the General Conference which has the aim of
encouraging the Labour Party to continue with its opposition to the Membership
Agreement of Malta in the European Union, because this agreement is
disadvantageous to the people, especially the Maltese workers.
In his letter, which has been answered yesterday by the Labour Party’s
Leadership, Dr Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici said that:
“It
appears that we have those who insist
that the Party should not continue to fight against the Membership Agreement tat
the Nationalist Government made with the European Union, because the majority
had voted in its favour. It is also being said that for the Party to win the
next election, it has to put aside the European Union issue and that the General
Conference in 2001 had decided that the Party accepts as conclusive the result
of the Election. I am very sorry that I do not agree with this reasoning.
First
of all, it is being forgotten that in
the year 2003 (two years after 2001), the Party decided that if the Party wins
the Election, it will just the same hold a referendum about Partnership and
about membership If we had won, the result of the Election would not have been
considered as being conclusive; because we have lost, why is it conclusive?
In the
second instance, on 14 July 2003, the
Party voted in Parliament against the ratification of the Membership Agreement.
If with the result of the Election we should no longer be against the Membership
Agreement, why did we vote against the ratification of the Agreement on 14 July?
In
the third instance, if the Party
insisted that the Membership Agreement that the Nationalist Government made was
disadvantageous and damaging to the people, especially the workers, because a
majority of 12 thousand votes had approved the Agreement, it just the same
remained disadvantageous and damaging to the people and the workers.
In
the fourth instance, when in an Election
the majority chooses an electoral programme of a party, the other party does not
change and agrees with the programme of the winning party and throws away its
programme. The fact that he winning party is allowed to implement its programme,
does not keep the losing party from continuing to do its utmost to persuade a
majority in the following Election to approve its programme.
Above all
I remind you that in the issue of the Agreement made with the European Union
there is the freedom of our people in question, and there is the policy of
neutrality and the policy of working for peace, and there is also the issue of
the breaching of the Constitution of our country. The Agreement that the
Nationalist Government made with the European Union has lost us the freedom and
the policy of neutrality and the policy of working for peace, and breaches the
Constitution.
It was the
Labour Party that acquired the full
freedom for the Maltese people and made our country neutral and active in
working for peace Now it has again been our Party’s bad luck to lead the
second fight to acquire back full freedom, neutrality ad active work for peace.
In the first fight, our predecessors were Steel Soldiers. Like them we should be
made of steel, not made of wood shavings. We shall win by fighting correctly and
not by accepting that which is wrong.
In the
coming General Conference I appeal to
you to give your support for the motion that encourages the Labour Party to
continue in its opposition to the Membership Agreement that is disadvantageous
to the people and especially the Maltese workers, and for it to lead the Maltese
people to acquire back full freedom; for it to lead the Maltese people to
re-embrace a policy of neutrality and of active work for peace; for it to arouse
the Maltese workers to unite to protect and increase the opportunities of work
in our country; and for the Labour Party to arouse the people to defend the
Constitution drafted by the Labour Governments of 1974 and 1987.
I
hope that you agree with this. In any case I appreciate to know what you
think”.
