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 DEPUTY THAT YOU WANT MALTA TO REGAIN INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM
The European Union ordered that as from 2010 the Maltese and Gozitan people pay it
€182,192 daily stolen from your childrens mouths
The membership agreement must be changed quickly
By the Campaign for National Independence CNI
It is not true that we cannot leave the European Union
See this European Parliament video that we can leave
Notwithstanding
that the Governments’, Opposition and the Churches’ main exponents in Malta are
speaking in a manner that gives one to understand that not the Maltese people
have to accept as a fact that cannot be changed that Malta is a member in the
European Union, they should know that thousands of Maltese are still not
agreeing with Malta’s membership in the European Union and that thousands of
other Maltese do not agree with the conditions and the promises of the agreement
(that is the package), that the Nationalist Government made with the European
Union.
What had been considered as fundamentally wrong in the European Union membership did not become good by getting in its favour a majority of 12,000 votes in the last election.
What was considered as damaging in the agreement made with the European Union did not become beneficial because the majority approved that the Government signs the agreement.
They are very wrong
The Government, the Opposition and the Church in Malta will make a great mistake if they continue to feign that now the issue of the conditions of the agreement that the Maltese Government made with the European Union, and the other issue of membership in the European Union, no longer exist in Malta.
For thousands of Maltese and Gozitans these two issues are alive and are not going to end neither with nice speeches and neither with fervent homilies that the representatives of the government, the Opposition and the Church in Malta make about the new opportunities and advantages of European Union membership.
The Maltese and Gozitans that are going to suffer the bad consequences, such as discharges, of the membership agreement in the European Union are going to turn on those in Government, in the Opposition, and in the Church who are predicting opportunities and advantages and will hold them responsible for the sufferings and damage that the and their families are going to suffer.
Those who are going to suffer the bad consequences of the membership agreement are not going to turn in favour of the agreement and shall curse those who speak in its favour.
The bad membership agreement
Now that we have started suffering the negative effects of the European Union membership agreement, we can better understand than before which are the negative aspects of that agreement.
The
number of those against the membership agreement is increasing with those who
were in its favour, but were hard hit with its negative effects, such as
discharges, and therefore have now turned against it.
And the more time passes and the more the agreement is implemented, more people
will be hard hit with its negative effects and more people will turn against the
European Union membership agreement.
Whoever is hit with the bad effects of the membership agreement is not going to be consoled neither with the words of the Opposition exponents who now don’t want to criticize the agreement, and neither with the words of the Church exponents who now have to have a share in implementing the agreement.
The Campaign for National Independence (CNI) is not going to be intimidated by anyone and is not going to stay back in its criticism of the membership agreement that the Maltese Government made with the European Union.
The agreement was wrong and is still wrong for the Maltese people and especially for the workers.
The more the agreement is implemented, the greater will be the damage that is going to be caused to our people. The sooner that agreement is changed, the more we save the suffering and punishment for the people and especially for the workers.
Investments and work will be reduced
The
membership agreement that the Government made with the European Union does not
permit the granting of incentives and aid that the investors that want to set up
their enterprises in our country.
This is one of the negative aspects of the agreement that needs to be urgently changed because we urgently need to attract new investment to our country. Without new investment not new jobs will be created in our country.
There is a need to explain to the European Union that the agreement made with it must be changed so that we will be in a position to give aid and incentives to whoever will be ready to invest in our country to provide work for our workers.
Whoever is not ready to explain to the European Union that this is an extremely
urgent issue for us, will be showing great disrespect to our youths and workers
who will be looking for work.
This
should be understood by all the trade unions, as has long been insisted by the
General Workers Union that we should consider the as a national issue that
demands a national effort to be solved.
The CNI
agrees that we must consider the issue of jobs protection and the expansion of
employment in our country as the foremost issue that our country has before it.
The CNI does not agree with whoever is ready to sacrifice work and employment for European Union membership.
The CNI
neither agrees with whoever is resigned to accept the agreement with the
conditions that it has because he thinks that the agreement cannot be changed.
What greater advantage than work?
There
is no advantage with the European Union membership agreement because of which we
must be ready to sacrifice work and employment of our workers and youths.
And to protect the work and employment of our workers and youths we must be ready to sacrifice the European Union membership agreement.
In the CNI’s
opinion this must be
the principle that guides our trade unions in the insistence that they must make
with the European Union so that it will accept and remove all the negative
aspects that there are in Malta’s Union membership agreement that have the
effect of reducing work and employment in our country.
Discharges have already taken place in our country as a consequence of the
membership agreement.
With the measures that the Government bound itself with the European Union to have to take, discharges are going to increase.
If
this harm is acceptable for the Prime Minister, for the Ministers, for the
Nationalist Party, it is not something that the trade unions can accept, and not
something that the Labour Party should accept.
For the CNI
this is not something that we accept, and we continue to insist with all our
might that whoever has a social conscience, cannot accept.
We cannot understand how can there be anyone in the Church in Malta who is ready to accept that our workers and our youths would not have work so that we will not lose the advantages of European Union membership.
If the European Union really wants benefits for our people, it cannot send them to the misery of mass unemployment that the membership agreement that the Nationalist Government had made is going to cause us.
Crisis in the European Union
The
European Union commandments change.
Last Tuesday the Council of Ministers of the European Union decided not to take any measures against Germany and France who were breaching the commandment of the Stability and Growth Pact that the European Union has not to permit a member country that has the common currency, the Euro, to have a deficit of more then three percent of its Gross Domestic Product.
This decision by the Ministers for Finance of the European Union member countries created a crisis in the European Union.
The European Commission immediately condemned the decision.
The Union Central Bank criticized this decision.
A number of Union countries complained that the Union commandments do not bind all the member countries in the same manner.
Many think that this decision is going to badly hit the expansion of the
European Union economy.
They also think that this is going to weaken the Euro currency. The Union Central Bank says that this decision is going to increase inflation.
Some have even said that this decision by the Ministers for Finance of the
European Union countries is going to create great trouble for the Union
expansion that is to be made on 1 May next year.
Everything can be changed
The decision that no measures be taken against Germany and France that are breaching the European Union regulations has a greater significance.
It means that there is nothing that cannot be changed in the European Union when national interests demand that changes must be made.
The Union rule that the deficit cannot be greater than three percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product used to be considered as a commandment that cannot be breached.
But because it suits Germany and France, the Union changed its commandment. And now the European Commission said that it is considering whether to challenge this change before the European Union Court.
For us in Malta this change in the European Union rules with respect to the two
member countries offers us a lesson.
If the conditions of the European Union membership agreement that the Government signed on 16 April in Athens are harmful to us, we have the duty and the right to tell the European Union that those conditions are not suitable for us and must be changed.
France and Germany accept
When Malta tells the European Union that it wants to change the negative aspects that there are in the Union membership agreement, Malta should find that Germany and France to be ready to accept that changes be made in the same manner that changes were made in the Stability and Growth Pact in the case of Germany and France because they found that the Pact rules with which they are bound are harmful to them in their present economic situation.
The changes that Malta needs to be made in the European Union membership agreement must be agreed with by the other 24 Union member countries.
But the changes that Malta needs in the membership agreement are not harmful or damaging to other union countries.
Therefore no other European Union country should find any objection to the changes in the agreement that Malta has made, once none of them is going to suffer with those changes.
The examples of Germany and France, the two biggest European Union countries,
should serve as an example of how we should treat the Union where national
interests are at stake.
The Budget should help us
It is the proper moment to explain to the people the need to change the membership agreement that was made with the European Union.
The people were greatly shocked with the increase of three percent VAT tax increase.
The people are disturbed with the discharges that have already been given, the threats of more discharges that the employers are predicting, and with the bad news that some enterprises are preparing to stop operating in our country and go to countries outside the European Union.
Now
the people have found out that the millions that they promised us would be
coming from the European Union are not going to spare the people from an
increase in taxes, from the reduction of the health service, and from having to
pay for things that they were entitled to without payment.
Therefore it is the moment to explain to the people that the membership agreement is disadvantageous and harmful to them, not as they had been forced to believe that it would be better for them.
In this sense the budget is useful for us because it should open the eyes of
those who were previously not seeing well how the European Union membership
agreement is harmful for our country.
And we do not need to stay back from telling the people that what we saw in the
budget is simply the beginning of the beatings that we are going to have to
suffer if we do not work ceaselessly to change the bad agreement that was made
with the European Union.
