On the 1st of March 2023, Members of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee in the European Parliament voted on the MiFID and MiFiR files, and supported Greens/EFA calls for an end to financial speculation.

Although in Malta we do not have any heavy industry, and although the country is what it is, small, we still owe it to ourselves to reduce carbon emissions by at the very least 50% – 65% would be better, but the procrastination on the part of successive governments has thwarted progress massively – of…

Dr Ralph Cassar, Mario Mallia u Sandra Gauci jiddiskutu.

Il-PPPs huma kalamita għall-korruzzjoni, huma garanzija ta’ profitti għall-privat, bit-telf finanzjarju jerfgħu l-pajjiż. Idaħħlu l-mentalita li servizzi bażiċi li jiswew il-flus huma sors ta’ profitt. Le, mhux vera li s-servizz ikun aħjar. Minn fejn taħsbu li jiġu l-profitti? Mit-tqanċiċ. Mill-qamel. U billi l-flus jinħarġu mis-servizz biex imorru għand l-azzjonisti, ix-shareholders. PPP mhux tender pubbliku normali.…

Faċli fil-mumenti tal-glorja tiftaħar kemm huwa ‘glorjuż’ il-partit u kemm ħa deċiżjonijiet tajbin meta poġġa lil Keith Schembri bħala l-‘moħħ’ wara l-kampanji elettorali tas-snin riċenti tal-Partit Laburista. Għax wara kollox kif jemmnu ħafna nies, ‘l-aqwa li tirbaħ’. Faċli – imma irid ikollok moħħ politiku mnejjek – tiftaħar bil-kandidati stilla bħal Konrad Mizzi li waqa’ mis-sema…

One year ago tomorrow, the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine began. The Greens/EFA stand with international partners alongside Ukraine.

Ejjew niftakru wkoll li suppost il-Vitals, biex taparsi jagħtu xi ħaġa lura lill-komunita kellhom jiffinanzjaw u jipprovdu r-riżorsi kollha inkluż il-bini f’San Luqa bħala nursing school u placements għall-kors tal-infermiera ta’ Northumbria University/MCAST. Lanqas ċenteżmu ma’ ħarġu. Lanqas biċċa sodda, fardal, siringa jew banketta ma kkontribwew. Wisq anqas Steward. Il-kors spiċċa iffinanzjat mill-istat, bħall-bqija tal-korsijiet.…

Meta xi ħadd jippreżenta ruħu bħala xi Messija jew salvatur. Meta xi ħadd ‘kariżmatiku’ u kapaċi fir-retorika u l-clichés. Meta xi ħadd jgħid li se jsolvi kollox għax hu ‘l-mexxej’, xi Napuljun li kollox hu, u hu biss, ftakar li fl-aħħar mill-aħħar jista’ jkun l-akbar ĦAXXEJ.  Minflok kellna ħafna li lagħqu kemm felħu.
