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

It is not true that we cannot leave the European Union

See this Europen Parliament video that we can leave

It is going to be six years on 1 May since becoming European Union members.

There are those among us who are going to happily welcome this event, but there are others who similarly are not going to show this hapiness.

The National Barometer Report of a few weeks ago states that according to a public opinion survey, only 45% of Maltese and Gozitans interviewed agree that Malta’s European Union membership was a positive step.

This survey showed that there was a reduction of 12% from a 57% support who according to a survey carried out a few months agreed that membership was a positive choice for our country.

There are many reasons why the majority of Maltese and Gozitans are disappointed with our islands memberhip in the European Union after six years of entering into the Union.

Thousands of Maltese and Gozitans

* lost their jobs from factories

* that had to close down as a consequence of the policy

* that the Union imposed upon us,

* as the thousands of Shipyard workers have lost their jobs,

* that the Government destroyed as wanted by the Union

* and the Sea Malta crews,

* that the Government dissolved so that the goodwill of its merchandise sea transport to and from Malta

* was given to a foreign company and its inner circle agents.

These workers and their family members are right a hundred fold to turn against the European Union.

Also right to complain against Union membership are,

* the thousands of housewives and seniors

* who during the last six years

* saw the cost of living explode at a much higher rate

* than the increases they were given in their wages,

* pensions and social benefits

* and because of this their standard of living has been lowered.

The cost of living gets tougher with the increases in the tariffs for public services and with the removal of State subsidies since the Government decided to implement the European Union policy.

Similarly disappointed with Union membership

* are those entrepreneurs who used to produce for the Maltese market,

* who had to dissolve their enterprises

* and lost the investment they had made in them

* because the Union forced the Government

* to remove all the protection that the local industry had.

Turned against the European Union are the fishermen

* who cannot fish as they used to do

* because they are shackled by the Union fishing regulations

* and had the Union had its way,

* they will neither be able to fish for tuna.

Disappointed with European Union membership

* are many Gozitans who saw in their island during the last few years

* factories closing down,

* hundreds of jobs lost

* and business decrease,

* notwithstanding that the Gozitans were promised

* that with Union membership

* their island was going to become a region overflowing with wealth.

Disappointed are the thousands of hunters and trappers

* who saw the European Union and the Government following membership

* deny them their life hobby

* and from the enjoyment and rest that they were used to.

The mass of the people are right to blame Union membership,

* because the contrary happened,                                             

* with increased unemployment,                                                

* the country’s exports decreased,                                            

* taxes increased,                                                                       

* the country’s debt continued to increase every year             

* and this notwithstanding,                                                         

* every year we are paying the European Union millions,       

* €62.5 last year,                                                                        

* and more than €66.5 million that we have to pay it this year.

The pathetic appearance of the Prime Minister and Ministers,

* one after the other,

* going to Brussels,

* to take orders from the European Union,

* disgusts all those who treasure our country's honour

* to be ruled according to the will of the majority of the Maltese people

* and not as dictated by the European Union,

* which in many cases are against the real interests of our country.

You cannot just the same not feel unhappy

* seeing the scourge of corruption with which the Union is scourged,

* greatly spreading at all levels of life in our country,

* as well as seeing how Union membership caused us to lose many of the good values

* that the Maltese people were enriched with.

It is a shameful event that Workers Day,

* the 1st of May,

* is desacrated with the remembrance of European Union membership

* on the 1st May six years ago.

It will be fitting that the Maltese workers                                  

* observe that day also as a day of protest                               

* against the European Union                                                    

* that with its anti-social policy                                                  

* is causing the unemployment of more than 23 million people

* in all the Union member countries                                          

* and increases poverty for greater millions of families.          

Cecilia Malmstrom’s visit, the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs, is undesirable.

Because although the pretext for her visit

* is the opening in Malta by the European Union

* of the office of the Refugee Agency for refugees,

* the main purpose is that Malta accepts the new rules

* that the Union made for the Frontex mission for illegal immigrants.

Up till now the Frontex rules were

* that the patrol boats

* take the illegal imigrants found in the middle of the sea

* to the nearest port.

The Union has now changed the rules

* so that the illegal immigrants

* wherever they are found,

* shall be taken to the country hosting the Frontex mission,

* which is our country in the centre of the Mediterranean.

Therefore the new rules that the Union made

* are going to burden us with more illegal immigrants

* that were previously taken to Sicily and Lampedusa.

The new Frontex rules do not permit that the patrol boats push back the illegal immigrants in order to consider whether they have the right to asylum or be given secondary protection.

This means that until the required investigations are carried out, all the illegal immigrants shall have to be kept in our country.

These new rules were presented by the European Commission to the Council of Ministers that approved them, although the Maltese Prime Minister did not vote in their favour.

In the European Parliament the Maltese Members voted against them, but the Parliament aproved them.

The Prime Minister and the Minister for Internal Affairs

* said that if the European Union enforces the new rules,

* our country shall not continue to participate in the Frontex mission.

But Commissioner Malmstrom insists that Malta should accept the new Frontex rules and implement them.

She came to Malta to force the Maltese Government to submit to them.

Cecilia Malmstrom

* agrees with the new rules

* not only as the Commissioner responsible for Frontex,

* but she took the most active part for the European Parliament to approve them.

In fact, she sent a personal letter to every member of parliament to encourage them to vote in their favour.

Thus she showed that she doesn’t care that the new Frontes rules are going to cause great damage to our people.

The Maltese people should now show Malmstrom that they do not care about her.

We should take the opportunity to relieve ourselves from the Frontex mission burden by getting out of it.

But we fear that not only we are not going to take this wise step,

* but that we are going to take another wrong step that is going to increase the problems for our country,

* because the office of the Refugee Agency for refugees is going to be opened in our country.

This would mean that Malta is going to become a centre of operations by the European Union for refugees, and therefore we would not be able to continue to complain that our country is not able to accept refugees.

It’s good to remind everyone that when in 1971                                               

* Borg Olivier’s  Government signed the World Convention on Refugees,

* it made a great number of reservations for the Convention                      

* with which it did not allow the country to become full of refugees.            

But the European Union forced the Fenech Adami Government

* during the Union membership negotiations,

* to repeal all reservations,

* otherwise the Union was not going to accept Malta’s membership,

* and as a consequence,

* we had the invasion of thousands of illegal immigrants

* claiming to be considered as refugees.

Now Gonzi’s Government

* is going to worsen the situation

* by opening an office for refugees,

* and thus

* we attract a greater number to our country.

And Malmstrom’s visit is going to help this.

Among the prominent persons who are very critical of the EU, we find Roman Herzog, who was the President of Germany and who wrote an article titled “The EU is causing great damage to the European ideal”.

He insists the the EU needs to acquire back public faith, otherwise they are going to deny the ideal that set up the union of European countries and may lead to the demise of the EU.

Roman Herzog says that the impression of many is that the EU decides things without considering how the people think about them and without considering the traditions and cultures of the people and decides on things that can be decided better by national governments.

He criticized the EU for the vast number of regulations that it makes and insists that the EU member countries must not allow the EU to interfere in sectors that they have the power to decide, and to do this by observing the principle of subsidiarity that states that if a thing can be decided better at lower levels, it should not be decided at a higher level, in this case, the EU.

Herzog insists that many times the EU Court, as well as the EP have an interest to increase the EU powers and therefore it is extremely essential that the politicians, the media and the public of the Member States protect themselves better against the unwarranted interference by the EU.

Even persons who were keen EU supporters are now seeing that its system is not functioning correctly and that the EP is not fitting to have more powers, because it has a vast number of member of little competence who are only concerned about increasing their powers, even more so after the Lisbon Treaty came into effect.

Prior to the Treaty, its propagandists used to insist on the requirement for a Treaty because they used to say that its rules were going to lighten the management of the UE, make it more efficient and democratic.

Now that the Treaty came into effect, many of them are complaining that it is too difficult to understand and did not solve many of the problems that there were and still exist.

The EU officials themselves complain that they do not know how parts of the Treaty are going to be implemented, while the leaders of the EU countries did not know what they were signing.
