The Euro Zone crisis escalates

By Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici Campaign for National Independence CNI

With Malta’s European Union membership, the mountain of public debt is constantly increasing.

According to the Government Official Estimates, the debt of the Central Government only that was 4,250,000,000 euro in 2010 is going to keep increasing every year until it reaches 4,860,000,000 euro in 2014.

Apart from the Central Government debt the country is burdened with the debt of government corporations and entities, such as Enemalta, who already have more than one billion euros between them, and which the Central Government is guaranteeing.

That is why the financial situation of the country is getting worse all the time with our European Union membership.

It is not only the financial situation, but also the economic situation is being hard hit with European Union membership.

* and thousands of jobs, among them the Shipyard that was the best national institution for the best training of trades for Maltese youths,

* and now we are endangering the loss of the national air carrier Air Malta,

* that created whole new categories of jobs for thousands of Maltese youths,

The European Union policy that forces us to repeal the granting of protection to the local industries cause the loss to the Maltese economy a huge amount of added value that was acquired through the wages of Maltese workers who with their work used to produce products required by the people.

Instead of selling local products we have changed to their importation and thus, apart from losing the jobs of many workers, we have made our economy lose huge amounts of money in the buying of foreign products.

We are suffering huge losses

The loss that our people suffered both in jobs as well as in the economy due to the European Union policy is very great.

In the furniture sector, for example, the greater part is no longer being manufactured in our country, not because Maltese tradesmen do not have the ability to produce the best furniture.

Everything is being imported, including kitchens, when the local furniture industry used to provide hundreds of jobs for tradesmen, and thus the work expenses used to be all income for the Maltese workers and for our country’s economy.

Due to the European Union regulations many huge work contracts in our country are being taken by foreign companies because we cannot give preference to Maltese companies over those from other Union countries.

This means that huge sums of money are being spent by the Government on big projects that do not go to Maltese pockets, but are taken by foreigners.

This is what happened in the project of about three million euro for the new Grand Harbour breakwater bridge that was manufactured in Spain and not by Maltese workers.

The same is happening in the building of the new Parliament which its structure is being made of steel that was produced out of Malta and thus the greater part of the expense of €80 million on this project is going to foreign architects and foreign workers and is nto going to remain in the Maltese economy.

With our country’s membership in the European Union not only are huge amounts of money being spent outside the country, when they should have been spent in the country, but also many work which should be done by Maltese workers is being given to workers who came from the European Union.

According to a Parliamentary answer on 18 October, there were 5,596 persons from Union countries who are working regularly in Malta.

Apart from these thousands of foreigners from the European Union who are taking the work of Maltese workers as their right, there are other thousands of illegal immigrants who are working in our country with inferior conditions for the working conditions of Maltese workers, and this is because the European Union regulations do not allow them to go where they want to go to the big union countries.

The situation is worsening

Our country’s European Union membership has changed into great financial burdens, reduction of the local manufacturing industry, the loss of added value, and the loss of thousands of jobs.

* both with the loans that we are being forced to give to the Euro Zone countries,

* as well as with the guarantee of €704 million that the European Union is forcing Malta to give

* while we shall continue to pay every year the contribution of millions of euro to the union

Is it better for us to leave the Euro Zone?

The debt crisis in the countries that have adopted the euro led to the fall of governments that had introduced austerity measures to try to overcome the crisis.

In Greece, thousands of workers in the public sector lost their jobs and others had their wages reduced.

Some were not able to pay the rent and had to go and live with their families.

On the EU’s orders, the State industries had to be sold to the private sector.

In Ireland there are huge problems notwithstanding the introduction of harsh austerity measures and many Irish are constrained to emigrate.

In Portugal harsh austerity measures were introduced that are causing great industrial widespread strife.

In Spain, notwithstanding the harsh austerity measures that were introduced, unemployment has vastly increased and reached the highest level in the EU.

Notwithstanding all these austerity measures, the EU does not appear to be satisfied and is pressing for the measures to be harsher and for the sacrifices that the people are making to be increased.

The German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the French President Nicholas Sarkozy hold meeting after meeting to see what has to be done to overcome the financial and economic crisis.

It is the German and French banks that will be worse off if the Euro Zone countries that have huge billions lent to them by the banks of the two countries default.

Our country, because it became an EU and a Euro Zone member is being forced to obtain loans, notwithstanding the huge public debt that it has, to be able to give loans the euro countries that are in danger of defaulting, and to guarantee them about €700 million.

This is happening on the pretext that the euro is our currency and therefore we should protect it not to disintegrate.

Our Parliamentary members agreed that our country makes these loans and give these guarantees that are not in our peoples interests but only because the EU forced us to do so.

They ought to know that the policy that the Union has implemented till now in the financial and economic crisis did nothing to overcome the crisis, and indeed the situation has worsened.

This is because the Union policy does not help to expand the economies of the member countries, and is creating more unemployment and increased recession.

The EU does not want to understand that the solution for the economic and financial crisis is to be found in the expansion of economic activity and with the expansion of work and jobs that leads to increased consumption.

If until some time ago no one used to think that some country that had adopted the euro would end up leaving the Euro Zone, today many are insisting that it will be better for some countries burdened with debt and deficit to go back to their own national currencies.

This is because if they do so they will be able to devalue their currency as much as required to overcome the crisis by increasing their exports and increase tourism.

They will be able to establish their rates of interests on debt according to what is necessary for them to help expand investment and increase work and jobs.

At the same time public debt continued to increase every year as also are increased the amount of interests that have to be paid.

This year the amount of interests that the Government has to pay on the debt amounted to €250 million and these are increasing around five million every year.

In some EU countries studies are already been conducted to see how some countries will be affected if they leave the Euro Zone.

A number of economists insist that the euro currency is going to disappear, or remain only as the currency of Germany and France and of those countries that are economically similar to them.

They say that the Southern European countries, such as Greece, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Malta will end up leaving the Euro Zone.

Prior to adopting the euro, our exports were increasing and the tourists were also increasing.

If we leave the euro there is no reason why both exports as well as tourism should not continue to increase.

Those who do not want to betray our peoples’ interests should carefully scrutinize whether it will be better for Malta to leave the Euro Zone.
