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

 

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

 

The time for a national protest is going to come

 

It is not true that we cannot leave the European Union

See this European Parliament video that we can leave

Video European Parliament

 

We are sorry to say that it appears that the time has come for a national protest against the Government and the European Union.


If the Government does not come to an agreement with the GWU about the Shipyard, one should expect that the Shipyard workers protest against the Government that had promised them a good future, and against the European Union that does not want the Shipyard to be aided any more.
 
One also expects that the thousands of other workers 

* that have lost their job with the closure of the factories or                       

* their places of work,                                                                                   

* unite together in public protests against the Government                       

* that had assured them that they are not going to lose their employment 

* and against the European Union that,                                                          

* because of its policy,                                                                                    

* factories and                                                                                               

* places of work had to close down.                                                               
 
With them one expects to unite in protests against the Government and against the European Union the thousands of hunters and trappers that are suffering the destruction of their hobby, after they had been assured that with membership in the Union, hunting and trapping shall not be destroyed in our country.
 


One also expects the owners of the public transport to take the opportunity to protest against the Government for the steps in favour of liberalization, with which their income will be greatly reduced.

 

 

The housewives who feel greatly weakened with the exaggerated high cost of living, we do not expect them to remain at home and not unite with their husbands and children in the public protests, mostly due to the high surcharge of the electricity and water bills.

 

 


The pensioners and the aged are also expected to show their disapproval for the lack of control on the prices of medicines and sanitary ware and for the lack of an efficient service at the polyclinics.

 

 

 


 
Various sectors of the population cannot not show their preoccupation about the bad social consequences that we are going to have, because the Government is not ready to stand up to the European Union to stop the invasion by thousands of illegal immigrants in our country. 

 

At the forefront, we expect to see protesting the members of the families of the soldiers and the police that are being wasted guarding and taking care of the illegal immigrants, at the risk of their health.
 

 

 


We do not expect to remain silent those Maltese and Gozitan Christians that were assured that with membership in the European Union family values and public life were going to be strengthened, and have now found out that the Union is destroying all that was dear and good in our customs and in the manner of our living.
 


Thus more than half of Malta is expected to rise up in a national protest
against the Government and the European Union.

 

Words to be meditated upon

 

These words were uttered by James Bartholomew, editorialist of The Daily Telegraph, during an interview with the ex-Labour Leader, Dr Sant, published in The Malta Independent, on 10 January 2001:

 

“It it had to be suggested that Malta should return under the control of the United Kingdom, there will be a great upheaval, not so? What if it is suggested that Malta were to be controlled by France? There is certainly to be a great outrage in Malta. What if someone were to propose that Malta becomes a colony of Germany? The Maltese will certainly rebel, not so? But for some reason, many Maltese appear eager to become a colony of these three country all at once (and perhaps also Italy and Spain), as log as it will be called the European Union!”


Dr Sant’s short reaction for these words was this:

“For many people Europe has a religious mystic quality. As if you are speaking about Heaven. The fantasy and dreaming about the EU from 20 countries, each with its own different culture and speaking many different languages, can genuinely become a united democratic state.”

 

Valery Giscard D'Estaing, The architect of the European Union Constitution, was reported in the European Journal, that he said these words:

“If the United Kingdom does not want to continue with the process of integration (of the EU), then it has to be offered a special status, that the United Kingdom can accept.”


Then we say: 

 

If this is possible for the United Kingdom, then is it not also possible for Malta?

 

It’s good to know

 

Directives, rules and decisions

 

The EU in 2007 issued 177 directives, 2,033 rules u 1,045 decisions. 

 

How can the Maltese Parliament keep up with all these directives, rules and decisions! 

 

It is not in vain that it is said that even the Ministers themselves do not know about many of these directives, rules and decisions.

 

The Government’s choice for the workers

 

The choice that the Government is giving to the Shipyard workers is this: 

 

either they accept the sum offered and leave their employment, or not to take the sum and lose their employment.

 

The Shipyard viability

 

The Government says that the Shipyard is not viable if it does not reduce 1,000 workers. 

 

Therefore the Government implemented early retirement schemes to reduce 1,000 workers. 

 

With one thousand less workers the Shipyard does not suffer losses and would not require aid from the Government. 

 

Once the Shipyard with 1,000 less workers does not suffer losses, it can remain in Maltese hands and not be given to foreigners.

 

Mikael Gorbachev, President of the Soviet Unjoni

 

“Why are you troubling yourself so much to build in Europe what we have dismantled in the Soviet Union?"

 

Sovereignty

 

Vaclav Klaus, the President of the Czech Republic, is of the opinion that the Lisbon Treaty changes fundamentally the legal character of the European Union and of his country as a member of the Union. 

 

He says that a country that is Sovereign cannot be bound by some decision that is taken without its consent.

 

A country that has to submit to a decision with which it does not agree is not a sovereign country according to International law. 

 

The Lisbon Treaty makes it possible for the Union to take with which a member country does not agree, and those decisions still bind it just the same. 

 

Therefore the Lisbon Treaty strips the member countries from their sovereignty.

 

A stronger Union

 

Lately, when the European Parliament was discussing the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union, the high representative of the Union, Xavier Solana said that everyone wanted a stronger Union and a stronger common foreign and security policy. 

 

Forthwith the British Parliamentary Member, Roger Helmer, rose up and said that Solana did not speak the truth. 

 

Helmer sustained that he represents 4.2 million voters in the East Midlands, England, and none of them had told him that he wanted a stronger Union, but many told him that they wanted the UK to leave the Union.

 

The EU rules destroyed the Shipyard

 

By Eddy Privitera

 

There are some who think that the rules and conditions that the European Union imposed on the Maltese Government about the Shipyards are not at fault for the disastrous situation in which the Shipyard ended up.

 

Many believe that t was the workers together with the GWU that brought the Shipyard in this situation. 

 

And there are others that point their fingers towards the Government and the Shipyard management. 

 

It appears that no one except the CNI who want to put the fault at the EU that has brought the Shipyard in a position that it could not accept big works, because of the conditions imposed by the EU in the agreement that the government signed on 16 April 2003 in Athens.


It’s good to remind people what were the main conditions of that agreement where they touch on the Shipyard. 

 

The first and perhaps the worst condition that the EU imposed upon the Maltese Government was that the number of productive workers had to be reduced to 1,410. 

 

Then it is not true as has been said lately, that the government reduced the number of workers on the advise of experts.

 

The second condition that continued to lame the Shipyard was the limit of how many man-hours could be worked in a year by the Shipyard workers, including overtime. 

 

What enterprise would put a limit on how many man-hours its workers work, so that then, if it gets much more work, it could not do more man-hours that had been fixed! 

 

This is madness, not things done by persons who are of sound mind.

The EU continued to increase the dose that shipbuilding that the Shipyard can do cannot exceed 10,000 gross tons of steel in a year. 

 

And thus the EU was assured that the Shipyard could not accept big shipbuilding works, such as the project by the American entrepreneur Joseph Cala who wanted to build ten ships in our Shipyard and employ around 6,000 workers.

 

And now he is building those ships in Europe and America.

 

As if this was not enough, the EU forced the Maltese Government to close dock number one, and thus reduce the facilities where the Shipyard could do more work.

Then we find the last stroke of death for the Shipyard, with the condition that the Government cannot grant any further subsidies for the operating expenses of the Shipyard (e.g. for part of the wages), after 31 December 2008.


There are other things that brought the Shipyard to its knees. 

 

At the forefront there are the great management shortcomings, the greatest example of which is found in the Fairmount contract, from which the Shipyard lost great amounts of money. 

 

And the lack of will from the Government’s side to do all that it can for the Shipyard to remain strong in our country.
 
So much so that the Prime Minister said that it is not the Government’s job to bring work for the Shipyard and that the government should not remain the employer of the Shipyard workers.

 

We say that all that was done, was done according to the EU rules.


That is why it is the E rules that destroyed the Shipyard, and to save the Shipyard, we should not submit to the EU rules and conditions.
