Alfred Sant jgħid ir-riżoluzzjoni tal-PE dwar Malta mmexxija minn interessi partiġġjani

Alfred Sant qal li l-MEPs mill-grupp tal-PPE fil-Parlament Ewropew għandhom bżonn ta’ solljev għall-ksur tas-saltna tad-dritt li qed jittolleraw fost il-partiti membri tagħhom, biex ma jitilfux il -maġġoranza li għandhom fil-parlament. 

Li Malta tintuża bħala punt ta’ attakk tikkonvenilhom bosta u hekk jaqdu mill-koxxa mingħalihom lill-PN u r-rappreżentanti tiegħu.

Alfred Sant jiddispjaċiħ li l-grupp tas-Soċjalisti u d-Demokratiċi tant inqabdu fl-ingranaġġ tal-patta pari patta li għaddejja fil-Parlament dwar is-saltna tad-dritt f’pajjiżi membri tal-Unjoni Ewropea, li politikament qiesu li jistgħu jibbakkjaw ir-riżoluzzjoni li telgħet għall-vot dwar Malta.

“Ir-realtà hi bħala pajjiż żgħir, kulħadd huwa aktar faċli li jpoġġi lil Malta fil-mira … kif kont inwissi snin ilu meta ħafna “għorrief” kienu jeħduni biż-żuffjett”, qal Alfred Sant.

L-agħar dwar ir-riżoluzzjoni madankollu hu li tinjora bżonn għal kollox l-isforzi ġenwini u qawwija li l-amministrazzjoni Laburista ta ’Robert Abela għamlet u baqgħet tagħmel biex ittejjeb it-tmexxija pubblika f’Malta. 

Parlament, Ewropew jew le, li jaħdem tajjeb li jinjora r-realtajiet politiki jitlef ħafna mill-kredibilità tiegħu.

Alfred Sant says EP resolution on Malta driven by partisan interests 

The resolution on the rule of law in Malta discussed in the plenary of the European Parliament is driven by the partisan interests of the Nationalist delegation within the European Peoples Party, Alfred Sant said in a public statement on social media. 

 Alfred Sant said MEPs from the EPP grouping in the European Parliament need to be relieved from the violation of the rule of law which they are tolerating among their member parties, so as not to lose the majority they have in parliament. 

The need for Malta as a point of attack is convenient and is done to serve the interests of the PN and its representatives.

Alfred Sant regretted that the Socialists and Democrats  Group in the European Parliament supported the resolution noting that they are caught up in the ongoing debate in Parliament on the rule of law in EU member states and felt they needed to back the resolution on Malta.

“The reality is that everyone finds it easier to target a small country… as I warned years ago when many “wise men” would not take me seriously”, Alfred Sant said..

The worst thing about the resolution, however, is that it completely ignores the genuine and strong efforts that Robert Abela’s Labour administration has made and continues to make to improve public governance in Malta. 

A well-functioning Parliament, European or not, that ignores political realities loses much of its credibility.
