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 CANDIDATE THAT YOU WANT MALTA TO REGAIN INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM
In the seven years 2007 – 2014 the Maltese and Gozitans are going to pay the European Union €420,000,000
A river of laws from the EU
Lord Vinson, who was for some time the Chairman of the Institute for Economic Affairs of the UK, said recently that today he is very sorry that he tried for many years to persuade many people to believe that the European Union was a good thing.
Today he thinks otherwise.
The
nice dream that he had about a nice Union is a frightful reality.
He knows that this change in his opinion about the European Union did not occur
only to him, but to many others who today have similarly changed their opinion
about the Union.
They used to see it as a nice thing.
Now
they see it as very frightful.
Many in the Union feel themselves like Lord Vinson, confused and unhappy by the
great quantities of regulations that the Union never stops making.
One of the many shortcomings of the Union is that it is not possible for the
government of a member country to change regulations made by the Union that are
found to be damaging to the member country.
For
a regulation to be changed the member country has to have the consent of the
majority of the other member countries, and this consent is not given by the
countries which consider that the regulation is good for them.
Lord Vinson also criticizes the Union about the principle of subsidiarity that
means that the Union lets the member countries manage themselves in those
sectors that can be managed better without it.
The Union does not implement this principle.
It
vainly boasts about it and continues to grab in its hands more sectors and never
reverts back to the countries some power that it has.
The British journalist Charles Robinson harshly criticizes the European Union for a never-ending “river” of laws.
He estimates that only 20 percent originate in the European Parliament and 80 percent originate from the European Commission and that which he calls the “Lobby” that there is in Brussels.
This
Lobby is made up of around 15,000 “lobbyists” who work in Brussels and who
hatch out ideas, make suggestions, show their concerns, and make representations
about a thousand things, to influence the Union to issues laws that the
“lobbyists” would be working for (naturally against payment).
It is estimated that there are around 2,660 groups in Brussels that have various
aims and interests that all have an office there.
It is estimated that the “lobbyists” income in Brussels is between 60 and 90
million Ewros.
They
are considered like a jungle of undemocratic burocracy that there is in the
Union capital city.
Every month the Union makes around 50 laws and regulations and these then have to be introduced into the laws of the member countries.
If
the Parliament of a member country does not introduce these laws and regulations
in the laws of the country, the Union, through it’s Court, imposed hefty fines.
The
minority are doing what they want because there is great apathy among the citizens
who have no means to stop the Union march, except when they are given the
opportunity to vote in some referendum.
The heart of the organized minority that leads the Union is the European
Commission that has every interest to enlarge and increase its powers and the
sectors that the Union has a right to regulate, and not the national
parliaments.
Syed Kamall insists that either the EU gives back many of the powers that it
has grabbed, or some of the people members in the Union, first among them the
British people, insist that they again re-negotiate the agreement that they have
with the EU for a different one from that of the present membership.
It
can be said that in every country that is a member in the European Union, there
is a section of the population that is against membership, and if you do not
find a political party that has in its program for the country to leave the
Union, you will find a number of organizations that work for public opinion to
turn against the country’s membership in the Union.
In our country there is the Campaign for National Independence (CNI),
as well as the National Republican Alliance (ANR) against Malta’s membership
in the European Union.
In the UK, the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) wants the UK to leave
the European Union.
In the last European Parliament elections this party obtained millions of votes and elected a good number of representative in the European Parliament.
The
UKIP is not alone against the UK’s membership in the Union, because there are
a number of members of the British Parliament, Labourites as well as
Conservatives, who want their country to leave the Union.
In
Poland there is a party called the “Self-Defence
Party”, led by Andrzej Lepper, which forms part of the coalition Government,
which is against the European Union.
In the Czech Republic, the President Vaclav Klaus is against his country’s
membership in the European Union and publicly criticizes the Union.
In
Denmark and Sweden the majority of the people voted against the adoption of the
Ewro instead of their national currrency, notwithstanding that the Government
and the parties worked ceaselessly in favour of the adoption of the Ewro.
In France and The Netherlands the majority of the people did not agree with the
leaders of the political parties and voted against the Constitution drafted by
the European Union.
In Malta opposition against membership is constantly increasing because its bad
consequences are being felt over time.
The Maltese politicians are deceiving the people when they insist that the issue
of our country’s membership in the Union is decided once for all.
They know that thousands of Maltese and Gozitans are against membership and are waiting for the moment when we shall leave the Union.
They
do not lose their enthusiasm when they hear the politicians say that the
membership issue no longer exists, but they grow stronger against the
politicians and strengthen their opposition against membership.
The European Union knows that in many of the Union member countries, if there is no great opposition against it, there is a great apathy about it.
So great is the popular apathy that not even half the population feels that it should go to vote in the European Parliament Elections.
The
European Union is therefore required to spend many millions each year to make
propaganda in its favour.
In Malta we are noting that the campaign in favour of the Union is growing and
increasing every day.
This
means that the Maltese and Gozitans are not happy with it.
In
Denmark, the Eurosceptic party, the Danish People Party, led by Pia Kjaerskaard,
is increasing its popular support.
It
is against the EU and ensures that the majority of Norwegians remain against
their country’s membership in the Union.
In Switzerland, although the Government is in favour of the EU, the majority of
the people do not want the country to become a Union member.
The current against the European Union is also increasing in Austria.
No one accuses all those in the countries we have mentioned that they are
against the European Union, or that they are against Europe.
Because the Union is not Europe but a big part of Europe is no longer free and is bound with a wrong economic and social policy that no majority in a member country can change according to the rules of democracy.
Neither
in Malta.
He led his country in the Union but today criticizes it harshly.
He
says that the EU common agricultural policy is a massive waste, and accuses the
Union that it pays more subsidies on cows than the amount of money earned by
half the world population.
When
are we in Malta going to be converted like the President of Slovenia?
In many EU countries the politicians are imposing their will about the Union and implement the Union policy on their people against the will of the people.
In those countries, when the people were given the opportunity to show what they think about the Union, have voted against what they were told to do by the politicians.
This
has resulted in the referendum about the Ewro in Sweden, in the referendum about
the Ewro in Denmark, in the referendum about the European Constitution in
France, and in the referendum about the European Union Constitution in The
Netherlands.
In Malta the political parties are imposing the EU policy and regulations on the people, even though the masses of the Maltese and Gozitans are complaining on the effects of our country’s membership in the Union.
But
the moment is not far away when the masses of the Maltese and Gozitans will
impose their will on our political parties and forces them to change the servile
policy for the Union and again to put first the interests of the Maltese people
before implementing the will of the EU.
The people have yet to insist with the political parties to conduct properly the
accounts of how much membership in the Union is costing our country and how
great is damage that the Maltese people are suffering because of Union
membership.
Till
today the people have heard nothing except how much they have acquired and how
they are enjoying from the Union, and the politicians do everything to make them
forget how much we are losing and what we are suffering because of membership in
the EU.
* increases in the cost of living,
* indirect taxes,
* lack of employment,
* payment for social services, and
* worse conditions for pensioners.
The media that is receiving funds from the EU is not going to make objective criticism of the Union and its policy and regulations.
But
it is well to remind you that although in France and The Netherlands, in Denmark
and Sweden the media put all its effort in favour of the Ewro and the European
Constitution, the strength of the people masses in those countries overcame the
strength of the media and voted against the Ewro and the European Constitution.
In
our country the media of all the political parties, the newspapers which do not
belong to the parties, and the state broadcasting fight among themselves who
will try most strongly to influence public opinion in favour of the EU, and
absolutely forget the interests of the masses of the people that lost with
membership in the Union.
However, what happened in France, in The Netherlands, in Sweden and in Denmark
shall happen in Malta.
