Six ways to make EU and Maltese industry climate neutral – Ralph Cassar
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…

Is-silenzju dwar Public Private Partnerships fis-servizzi pubbliċi
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.…

Meta jaqbillhom jgħidulna ‘mhux aħna’
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…

Vitals/Steward u l-MCAST – lanqas ċenteżmu mġiddem!
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.…

Messija fil-politika huwa kalamita tal-korruzzjoni
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. Għandna ħafna…

Enerġija
Recently, during a press conference in Birżebbuġa ADPD – The Green Party spokespersons insisted that the theatrics in parliament pitting the gas tanker versus the interconnector is testament to the parliamentary parties’ empty rhetoric. It is in fact their lack of vision and lack of planning which made this country totally dependent on unreliable sources…
