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

Joaquin Almunia, the European Commissioner responsible for the Economy, two days ago announced that the 16 EU countries in the Euro Zone are going to continue in economic recession during the whole year and that unemployment is going to go increase to a rate of 10%.

This piece of bad news was given notwithstanding that the governments of the euro countries made investment plans as incentives for commerce and the spending of vast amounts of public funds to increase work and employment.

The Euro Zone countries are in an economic crisis notwithstanding that they were working according to the financial regulations established by the EU for good governance of a string economy that controls both the yearly deficit as well as the rate of the national debt of the country.

This EU policy did not save them from falling into economic recession, as we are seeing that the best euro countries are in, such as Germany, France, Spain, Austria, The Netherlands, Italy and Belgium.

This fact should show us that after all the economic policies of the EU and of the Euro Zone are not stable and strong as its propagandists used to boast about.

This aspect of financial and economic desolation that the EU countries are in should worry us and make us consider anew what there is wrong and defective in the Union financial and economic policy, particularly of the Euro Zone.
 

The Union propagandists in Malta do not want the people to realize this, but everyone worth his salt and wants to protect our country’s wealth should reflect about what the EU is going through to put aside the policy that has given such disastrous results that we are seeing today.

Even the fact that Ireland is presently going through a great economic crisis shows us how unsustainable is the policy that the EU forced it to implement.

The same can be said for the crisis that has hit Spain, which is showing us that the Union policy implemented by Spain does not assure long term success.

Like Ireland and Spain, but for different reasons, there are other countries in the EU, such as Hungary, Latvia and Greece that are in a very bad financial situation, notwithstanding that the followed the policy dictated by the European block.

Also in our country, where we operated as the EU wants, this year exports and imports shall decrease and unemployment increase, notwithstanding the boasting that we have become members in the big Union common market.

The European Union encouraged the Maltese Government

* to destroy the Shipyard and

* now to destroy the employment of 1,700 tradesmen,

* six years after it had made a restructuring plan that,

* among other things,

* caused at the time the loss of another 1,000 jobs at the Shipyard, and

* stopped work from being carried out in the Cospicua Dock Number 1.

* The EU never accepted that its funds be used for the Shipyard and

* during these last six years a limit on the aid that the Maltese Government could give to the Shipyard,

* apart from also limiting the number of workers that could be kept employed in it and

* the volume of work that they could do.

The Union made us all these restrictions on work and employment in Malta when other Union countries were sending billions to increase employment and work to overcome the economic recession that hit the Union.

In today’s bad economic circumstances, a responsible government who wants to protect the welfare of the country does all it can to save work and employment.

But the Maltese Government made exactly the opposite.

It is destroying the employment of 1,7000 workers and destroying the work they used to do at the Shipyard and which was bringing in millions every year from the work done for foreign clients that used to repair their ships at the Shipyard.

The Shipyard income was part of the country’s exports.

While to create new jobs millions are required, the Government is sending millions (some €56 million) to destroy 1,700 jobs that we had at the Shipyard.

This is an extremely shameful fact, both for our country as well as for the EU that wants this sacrilegious destruction and great social injustice to succeed.

In our country we need to increase jobs, not close those that we have.

If there is a work sector that is most suitable for our island in the centre of the Mediterranean this is the maritime sector and that of ship and yacht repair.  

We have the natural assets for this work of the most suitable ports and have the best facilities in quays and docks.

More than this we have a mine of tradesmen who are well known for their ability in ship repair.

Instead of exploiting this fame we are throwing it away … because this is what the EU wants!

The loss that our country is suffering with the termination of 1,700 Shipyard employees is very much more than the amount of aid that would have been needed to be given for 1,700 workers to remain working at the Shipyard.

It is useless to say that some of them have found or will find employment elsewhere.

Because they will be taking work instead of other unemployed workers who are in fact looking for work.

The EU itself is predicting that this year unemployment in our country shall increase.

Therefore it certainly is not the moment to bring to an end 1,700 jobs at the Shipyard.

 It would have been better for our country if we were capable of increasing the number of workers and thus help to overcome the effects of recession in the industrial and tourism sectors.

The great sacrilege that is being made of the Shipyard shall never be forgotten nor forgiven and the EU has the greatest part of the blame.

The Maltese Parliament has still not taken ay measures to stop the invasion by illegal immigrants in our country notwithstanding the alarm that there is among the people, mostly those in the areas where there is a great concentration of immigrants.

The Maltese people know that the European Union is not ready to adopt the necessary measure to stop illegal immigration, and if we want it stopped, it is necessary that we do what is necessary for us in this issue and do whatever we have to do.

To stop illegal immigration it is necessary that we do not keep illegal immigrants in our country and send them back to their own countries without accepting any excuses.

The immigrants that will be certain that they shall be sent back will not be ready to pay their money and risk their lives uselessly, once they shall be repatriated whether they want to or not.

Our country’s policy for forced repatriation, once it becomes known to all, will discourage the illegal immigrants.
 

Until the invasion is totally stopped, our country has to be ready to pay all the expenses required to transport the illegal immigrants that find themselves in our country back to their own countries.

It will not be a small expense, but it will be very much less than the expense that our country has to keep the thousands of illegal immigrants in their centres, both the closed as well as the open ones.

The forced repatriation policy requires that we unbind ourselves from the bindings that during the last few years our country was led into about refugees and illegal immigrants that today everyone can see were of great damage to the Maltese people.

 This is what is required in the national interest and to protect our national interests we should show the same courage that is expected from us in times of crisis.

Because the illegal immigrants invasion is creating a crisis for us, which if we do not stop it now will continue to increase because every month that passes the number of illegal immigrants in our country increases.

The Maltese people are fed up hearing about EU meetings and discussions on illegal immigration and notwithstanding the immigrants continue coming more frequently and in greater numbers.

If the EU does not want us to send the illegal immigrants back to their own countries it should take them and keep them itself.
 

But it is not right to force us to keep them when the smallness of our country and the size of our population does not permit us to keep them in our island.

We can also permit the illegal immigrants to leave our country and go wherever they want even in the EU countries.

After all, they always wanted to go there, not come to our country to stay here.

Public research shows that the people are very worried about illegal immigration and is expecting that concrete and drastic action be taken to stop the immigrants’ invasion.

 It will be timely to press the Parliamentary representatives to act on this issue.

For this reason there shall be a popular petition with the signatures of Maltese citizens to be sent to the Maltese Parliament in which it will be asked that without any further delay the Parliament should take concrete steps to stop illegal immigration to our country.

This certainly is the will of the majority whatever their political opinion.

This is not a political partisan issue, but a national issue.
