Jien OK u int?

Niltaqa' ma' nies li jghiduli li jammirawna.

X'hin nistaqsihom 'l ghaliex il-maggor parti jghiduli: "Tal-kuragg li ghandkom li tmorru kontra l-kurrent u fejn hu tajjeb tghidu li hu tajjeb u fejn hu hazin tghidu li hu hazin ghamlu min ghamlu."

"Allahares m'hawnx intom", ighidulna. "Komplu ahdmu".

Imbaghad nhobb nistaqsi "X'hemm bzonn nahdmu/naghmlu?"

...u hawn tibda litanija ta' suggerimenti:

'Ahdmu biex iggibu fondi ghal partit'
'Messkom tigru wara n-nies u ddahhluhom membri'
'Messkom taghmlu programmi fuq ir-radju u t-TV'
'L-ufficju ghandkom bzonn izzommuh miftuh kuljum'
'Qabbdu lil xi hadd mat-telephone ikellem lin-nies'
Organizzaw dik u organizzaw hekk u ghamlu hekk u hekk.... u l-lista ma tispicca qatt!

U mbaghad nistaqsi: INT X'TISTA TAGHMEL?

u r-risposta tvarja:

"Jien m'ghandix cans"
"Jien nahdem mal-Gvern u nibza li jaghmluli vendikazzjoni"
"Jien imhabbat...ghandi bizzejjed x'naghmel"

u l-aktar wahda komuni... "ma rridx niccappas" ( u dawn l-istess nies tarahom fil-kju quddiem il-garaxijiet fejn jaqdu l-membri parlamentari tad-distrett!)

Imma ssib dawk il-ftit li tassew jaghtu valur lid-demokrazija u l-futur taghhom u tal-familji taghhom. Jidhlu ghal xi bicca xoghol imqar zghira.

Alternattiva Demokratika ghadha kif ghamlet pubbliku r-rapport tat-telfa elettorali. Tista' taqrah bl-Ingliz billi taghfas hawnhekk. Jekk tippreferi bil-Malti tista taqrah minn hawn.

Issa jmiss li naghmlu xi haga. Ahna? jien? int? min?

Jekk jinteressak il-futur tad-demokrazija f'pajjizek, l-anqas li tista' taghmel bhalissa huwa li tattendi laqgha straordinarja li ser issir nhar is-Sibt li gej fil-Waterfront Hotel, The Strand, Gzira. Nibdew bejn id-9.00 u d-9.30 u nlestu f'xi nofsinhar. Issir elezzjoni ta' kumitat ezekuttiv gdid ta' Alternattiva Demokratika - the Green Party. Ir-registrazzjoni bla hlas.

Jien OK, u int?

What's new?

STATE OPENING OF ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT

H.E. The President delivers the official speech on the occasion of the Inauguration of the first Sitting of the Eleventh Parliament.


Unlike other EU countries, the Maltese Parliament is still composed of only one party in government and another party in opposition.


I wish each and every member of parliament to work in the interest of our country.

The Gozitan Acting Prim Minister

Maltastar reported that:
"In a move that smacks of political abuse of power, Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono who was Acting Prime Minister on Thursday, when Lawrence Gonzi was away, shockingly approved the expropriation of a strip of land in Nadur, Gozo, right in front of her own driver’s and relatives’ houses."
Need I comment further?
NO. Yet, I can proudly say again: "Not guilty" so should be the 300 Gozitan AD voters.

Ta' Cenc: Authorised persons only.

Ta' Cenc - attached a photo of the sign. Who are the only authorised persons?

People want to know why the Ta' Cenc road is being blocked.

Are they welcome to walk at Ta' Cenc?

The blessed report

Carmel Cacopardo, an Alternattiva Demokratika candidate who used to work at the Mepa audit office published the Mepa preliminary audit report into the redevelopment of the Sant’ Antnin waste recycling plant in Marsascala.

Party leader Harry Vassallo said it was shameful that Mepa, which was there to protect the community, had not published the report.

Others have different views of course.

It seems that there are still some people in 2008 Malta who are prepared to defend the government even when it acts against the basics of democracy: TRANSPARENCY.

I particularly liked the comment by certain Dion Borg on the Times of Malta. He wrote:

"This blessed report is ultimately financed by taxpayers, and thus is owned by the people, and its purpose was supposedly to safeguard our common interest – read, no government’s or any other (sic) ‘citizen-serving’ institution’s interest.

Throughout this saga, govt and its quangos strived to keep independent information shrouded from the public domain, although it is of public concern… and only a few weeks ago Carmel Cacopardo was ‘not allowed’ to comment on the report during a hearing at the Court of Justice!

I believe that Carmel Cacopardo, acting morally, factually demonstrated his strong character and that his ultimate alliance is to the people and not to the quango and/or govt which pays lip service of holding Malta’s interest at heart. He has done so even at his own personal peril, of being sued (from misused public funds) for making public, a report which is in the public’s interest – although the condemning parties stand more to lose from taking this matter further.

Carmel Cacopardo has upheld Transparency, when both the MLPN have cheekily kept the status quo on the vile anonymous Party Financing, wherein they shed all their bloated ethics and readily accept hefty (yet un-quantified) ‘donations’ from tycoons who obviously know how to invest their funds.

In most European true democracies, Carmel Cacopardo would avail of a long overdue Whistleblower Act, whilst Political Parties accepting undisclosed payments will be prosecuted… however in supposedly EU Malta, dominated by the MLPN dual dictatorship - things are slightly different!

I believe Malta would be a much better place with more Cacopardos around at more effective offices!"

and I fully agree.
