One-minute speeches on matters of political importance – 12.11.2014

ALFRED SANT TELLS THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT IT IS IGNORING THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL MODEL
Alfred Sant told the European Parliament that it is not debating why the European social model is being dismantled, or how we can develop a serious policy on immigration.

BOGĦOD MINN BRUSSELL
Din kienet ġimgħa li d-deputati Ewropej, jew il-maġġoranza tagħhom, qattgħu bogħod minn Brussell (jew Strasburgu). Kienet zmien maħsub biex l-istess deputati jzuru l-kostitwenzi li tellgħuhom u jzommu f’kuntatt magħhom. Jien qed nipprova nagħmel dan ukoll billi kemm jista’ jkun kull ġimgħa, nerġa’ niġi Malta.
