TELL YOUR PARLIAMENTARY DEPUTY THAT YOU WANT MALTA TO REGAIN INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM
Liberty and democracy
Membership in the European Union has greatly reduced liberty and democracy in our country, two values which our people had fought to win after foreigners had denied them to us for centuries.
A few votes more than half of those who voted three years ago, denied us our Independence and Freedom and deprived our country of its sovereignty, so that we became again a people under foreign yoke.
A few more among us surrendered with the excuse of respecting the will of the majority, but we and many others have not surrendered and shall continue to fight to regain full liberty and effective democracy.
In all sectors that the EU controls, our country is not free to decide what it does and has to submit to the Union DIKTAT, even when this is causing harm to our people.
The
Maltese people are no longer free to make the government change those laws that
they feel are no longer useful to them, if these laws are according to the
Union directives or according to the Acquis Communautaire that the EU bound us
to observe and obey.
With time, the EU makes more laws and issues more directives that we have to
obey and observe even if we do not like them and it acquires control on a
greater number of sectors that the Maltese Parliament loses its rights on
them.
Thus
the Union has reduced our liberty and put a collar on us to lead us with it …
with the agreement of those amongst us who have sold themselves to it together
with their soul and honour.
The
fox and the house-dog
It is such an old sin that people lose their liberty to gain material riches, that there is an Aesop story of a fox and a house-dog that states thus:
“A
big dog with a full stomach met a fox. The fox asked the dog where he found so
much food to have his stomach full. The dog answered him that his owner gave him
a lot of food and saw to it that he lacked nothing. Then the fox asked the dog
why he had his neck flayed. The dog answered him that this was because of the
collar which his owner had put around his neck. When the fox saw this he told
the dog: ‘Keep those riches to yourself! I don’t want to have anything to do
with you. It is better to be a little hungry than have my neck flayed and be
enslaved with the collar’.”
To exchange our liberty with EU funds is too high a price that we should not pay.
Loss
of democracy
Apart from the loss of liberty, membership in the EU has reduced democracy in our country.
In years gone by we fought to establish a system that ensures that when a clear
majority results in a free election, the majority leads and carries out its will
until another election is held.
But
with membership, it is not the will of the majority of our people that is
carried out in our country, but the will of the EU, even when the will of the
Maltese people does not agree with it.
Thus the main principle of democracy in our country is destroyed.
Thus
the main principle of democracy in our country is destroyed, because the will of
the majority of the Maltese people does not happen, but the opposite will of the
European Union often happens.
More than this, we have a strange fact that the political belief of the majority
in the Maltese Parliament is not like the political belief of the majority in
the European Parliament.
These
facts bring our democratic system next to nothing, not strengthen it.
They
will continue to do so until the call of the Maltese people for liberty and
democracy will get so strong that they can no longer resist it.
The vice of deceit in the EU is endemic (that is, to deceive the people is a particular characteristic of the Union).
The
latest proof of the Union’s vice of deceit is given to us by the decision that
it took to make the Reform Treaty instead of the Constitution that the EU signed
in Rome in 2004, and which the people of France and the Netherlands did not
accept.
The
deceit of the European Union has been admitted by Professor Giuliano Amato, the
Italian Minister for Internal Affairs, who was one of the Vice-Presidents of the
Convention under the French ex-President, Valery Giscard d’Estaing, had
drafted the European Union Constitution.
(You can listen to his speech by clicking on this link
The Italian Minister for Internal affairs remarked that once the public cannot understand the new treaty, the public would think that there is nothing new in it, and would therefore not demand a referendum about it.
He also said that now the Union Council of Ministers Secretariat would prepare the document with the amendments for the treaties that the EU has today, according to what the leaders of the member countries had agreed during their summit under the German presidency.
The
discussions on the final document of the new treaty started during the
intergovernmental summit of 23 July and are to end by next October.
Amato observed that it would not be the member countries government leaders who
will agree on the document text of the new treaty.
With
a certain amount of cynicism he continued to say that the leaders would feel
more comfortable with a document that cannot be understood by the public,
because by this they would evade the danger of a demand for a referendum.
This fact resulted in harsh criticism by many, amongst them from Neil O’Brien,
director of an organization known as Open Europe, who accused the Union of
complete contempt for the public.
Even Giscard D’Estaing himself deplored what had been done by the EU countries
leaders (among them the Maltese Prime Minister) because he said that what was
already difficult to understand the leaders had now made completely
incomprehensible.
He
stressed that cosmetic changes were made in what was written in the
Constitutional Treaty drafted by the Convention which he had presided over, so that it will be able to be shoved down peoples throats.
But he could not understand how, when the Union insists that it wants to be
nearer to the people, it had decided to remove the Charter on Human Rights,
which are the rights of the citizens, from the Reform Treaty.
Payment of €139,000 to Europe
With membership in the European Union the Maltese people are paying €139,000 (Lm60,000) every day to the block.
This results from figures published by the Government that show that the Maltese Treasury has to pay more than €51 million.
The
government has to obtain loans for this sum to be paid, because at the end of
the year it is estimating that it will end up with a deficit of about Lm50
million.
Neither the Government nor anyone from the EU propagandists that we have has ever mentioned this fact – how much from the taxes being paid by the Maltese people go straight to the EU.
As well as no one is showing the people how much, apart from this direct payment to the EU, this membership is costing us in
* payments and
* costs and
* loss of profits on foreign reserves and
*
loss of assistance
from countries which has stopped because of membership in the EU.
While boasting that in the next seven years we will receive €855 million from
the EU, they do not tell the people that in these seven years
* we have to pay from the people’s taxes an amount greater than €855 in payments to the same EU,
* in expenses because of membership, and
* consequential losses that we will suffer.
That
is, if we did not have EU membership, we could have spent more than €855 in
seven years on all projects from our taxes than that the Government is saying
will be made by the € millions that are coming direct from the EU.
This gives us the right to say that the Government, the EU and the propagandists
fed by it, are deceiving the Maltese people when they boast with the EU €855
million, without mentioning the amount greater than €855 that the Maltese
people will have to suffer because of membership.
The
truth is that financially the Maltese people would be very much better out of
the EU than being a member in it.
It is not only from the financial aspect that it is not in our country’s
interest to be in the EU.
It is also not in its interest from the employment and work aspects, because membership in the EU
* has put to flight factories that we had and
* made our country less competitive by increasing expenses,
* caused an increase in the cost of living and
* brought a loss in tourism.
Membership
in the EU resulted in the flight of foreign investment by not allowing us to
grant incentives and benefits with which we had attracted foreign investment
prior to membership.
Membership
in the EU is also the cause of the illegal immigrants that have entered into our
country and for the crisis of illegal immigrants that we have to keep, after a
short time we have to let them out of the detention centres, and accept that
they also bring their families in our country.
The price that we are paying for membership in the EU is too high.
