Support for the joint statement of DPRK



The Communist Party of Malta fully supports the joint statement released on January 5, 2011 by the DPRK government, political parties, and other social organizations where they set forward important proposals to the South Korean authority, political parties and other organizations to improve the inter-Korean relations, promote national reconciliation and unity.

The danger of war on the Korean peninsula must, without fail, be defused to ensure peace on the Korean peninsula and achieve peaceful reunification of Korea.

We consider it the most realistic proposal to mend the inter Korean relations now at the lowest ebb for the north and the south of Korea to conduct dialogue and negotiations.

We call upon the South Korean authority to sincerely approach the discussion on the important issues to promote national reconciliation and unity and open a landmark phase of peace and reunification on the Korean Peninsula as proposed by the DPRK.

We extend full support and solidarity in appeal of the DPRK government, political parties, and organizations for the peaceful solution of the Korean problem.

The Communist Party of Malta on the situation in Tunisia


The Communist Party of Malta gives it’s full support to the Tunisian people who are struggling for freedom and working class emancipation.

" Tunisia which for years was admired and supported by the West for its capitalist economy and it’s support to imperialism, is now in a revolutionary situation where the workers' movement supported by the Communist Party of Tunisia and other progressives are calling for a radical change to improve the people’s conditions."

Tunisia could be an example for the working class in Europe who are currently bearing the brunt of the austerity measures and high prices of energy and food imposed by the international markets.

The Communist Party of Malta compare these events with those that occurred in Thailand last year where people were killed and communist leaders imprisoned for protesting against poverty and against the military imposed government, with the King’s blessing.

The Communist Party of Malta regrets that again, the European Union failed to take a clear position on this issue, as it had done previously in the case of Thailand .

We believe that the Communist Party of Tunisia should be involved in the talks that are being held presently to form a new Government and should not be excluded as it is currently being done. Any change in government should be in the interest of the working class and Tunisian people. We deplore the fact that the bourgeoisie are again trying to hinder the revolutionary process.

The Communist Party of Malta gives it’s support and solidarity to the leader of the Communist Party of Tunisia Hamma Hammami who was imprisoned by the ousted Tunisian President Ben Ali. Hamma Hammami is still in prison along with other Communists.

PR: The Communist Party of Malta about the increases in energy prices

.

The Communist Party of Malta notes that the increase in the price of energy and gas will lead to a new social poverty. These increases are directly affecting the working classes and the pensioners. Many workers with low income are finding it more difficult to keep their present standard of living. National statistics confirm this.

”It is shameful that the political class in government is not being sensitive to the problems that the people face everyday. The use of energy and gas are an essential resource in the daily life of every family, and it should oblige the government to take the necessary social measures so that this commodity remains accessible to everyone”.

"Trade Unions are all of the same opinion that the government is abandoning its social policy and is adopting a right wing agenda where only the powerful and the rich succeed.”

The Communist Party of Malta believes that right wing governments lack in social conscience. This can be seen by the huge increase in the salaries of Government MPs, while the cost of living increase given to the people was a mere pittance. Only the workers are bearing the burden of the austerity measures.

"The social gap under the present Nationalist government is being widened. We urge the Government to take immediate measures in order to protect those with low incomes and pensioners, while reintroducing ‘a subsidy policy’ on essential basic commodities and taxing more capital gains”.
