who are not yet members of ELDR but with Liberal belief).

AUTHORITY ON THE DEMOCRATISATION OF THE MEDIA

by Dr. John Zammit - Liberal Leader

There is an urgent need of an Authority on the Democratisation of the Media because the Maltese media first of all is controlled by the big political parties. Secondly the small parties like the Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika and other small parties are not given coverage, and especially when we send them by e-mail or fax any media release are not published and our activities are not attended to or reported.

I am going here to mention by name TVM - Television Malta, Radio Malta, Net TV, Radio 101, One TV, Super One Radio, Smash TV, Smash Radio, L-Orizzont, It-Torca, In-Nazzjon, Il-Mument, Il-Kulhadd. When we also report to the Broadcasting Authority we also do not receive an answer. I wonder what kind of democracy Malta is when we are being censored and if by mistake we are on film, especially TVM will cut myself (John Zammit) out as if I was never there. This is why most of the Maltese do not know about Alleanza Liberali and are surprised if they happen to bump in the name of Alleanza Liberali like what happened in the article on The Times (see story underneat) and begin to exclaim with surprise from where Alleanza appeared. Alleanza Liberali has been active since 26th November 2006 after Dr. Emmy Bezzina decided to go it alone with the Alpha Party. Ever since Alleanza Liberali had organized an office, a website, a Bank account, a new logo and flags, has a committee who meet every Saturday and have also contacted the European Liberal Democratic Reform Party in Brussels with regular visits and also now have foreign members who are giving a helping hand.

Dr. John Zammit since November of 2006 began seeing his constituents regularly at the Valletta ALDM office and in other places. The courtesy  visit we had by the Hon. Graham Watson, leader of the ALDE/ELDR group in the European Parliament has confirmed that we represent in Malta the European Liberals, not to mention the correspondence and other documents and contacts we receive. So when we read that certain Maltese and Gozitans to date do not know that in Malta there is a Liberal Party which represents the third largest political group in the European Parlianment, something must be wrong or as I said that this is due to the boycot we have from the Maltese media.

That is why I appeal that an Authority for the Democratisation of the Maltese Media should be founded to control what appears on the media not to censor but to see that the media does not suppress certain political parties or progressive non government organizations. This with the Parliamentary Committee on Democratisation if they work together in the real sense we will have a true democratic Malta not as we are today. I wish also to mention that on the vote near every candidate's name there should be the candidates photo like in other countries. This is also important and must be done immediately so that those 20,000 illitterate persons can vote by putting a number next to the persons they wish to be elected and there is no need for them to ask for assistance. Come on Malta be really democratic and don't ask other countries to be democratic when Malta is not. Dear GonziPN instead of laughing be serious and see that there will be the necessary measures as to have a truely democratic and free Malta without the interfierence of the Church in political matters that concern the maltese secular citizens.

CHARLES CLEWS DIES 29-1-2009 AGED 89

I have visited my Union Press colegue Charles Clews, three weeks ago, as I also have my father, Joseph, who used to work with him at the Malta

 

Drydocks and was at Karin Grech hospital in the same ward. I reminded him when we used to work night shift together at Union Press, he as deputy editor

 

of the Malta News and I as sub-editor of L-Orizzont and how during the break he used to tell us jokes to keep us going. Charles we all have to go and

 

next time it may be me, so we have to be couragious and continue with our journey from one world to the other. I send my sympathy to his family and

 

remember Charles as the one who kept me going in difficult times with his wonderful jokes and especially "the Stage Commandoes" which I remember

 

well with Johnnie Catania and Johnnie Navarro and I am sure that the "kunjata" is surely going to miss him!

Dr. John Zammit sent this message of condolance to the Times of Malta on 14th August on hearing that Mr. Joe Mercieca died all of a sudden in hospital at

 

age 63 on the same day:

 

"Farewell Joe, and rest in peace, I remember you as one of my lecturers during the journalism/communications course at the university of Malta. Sincere

 

condolences to his family.

 

I remember you well, especially when we used to meet during activities organised by the Malta Press Club. One day or another we all have to go!"

LIBERAL LEADER ON THE MALTESE HUNTERS AND HUNTING

I truely believe that the hunters were betrayed by the GonziPN Government and as Liberals the Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika Malta (ALDM)  - www.freewebs.com/liberalalliance -  support the Maltese hunters - not to get their votes - but we in our party have several members who are hunters and know how difficult it is for them, especially when certain members are separated and could not continue with their hobby, especially to forget the trauma they found themselves in. I already met Mr. Lino Farrugia and talked about our support several months ago. As some of my relatives are hunters I know by experience their situation and the Maltese authorities and government should reason things out rightly and not let those against hunting control them. - Dr. John Zammit - Leader - Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika Malta, Tel: 21690365, 99459714.

Sent to The Times of Malta - 12th August 2008

LIBERAL LEADER JOHN ZAMMIT ON A DIVORCE BILL IN THE MALTESE PARLIAMENT

This is the comment Liberal Leader Dr. John Zammit sent to the Sunday Times of Malta of 3rd August 2008 on the comments made by Labour Leader Dr. Joseph Muscat about the presenting of a bill in the Maltese Parliament for a Divorce Law:

"Don't worry lets give it a try and see what happens, if the bill does not pass then the Maltese Parliamentarians will be to blame for the domestic violence and the tragedy that separated people are in. It is the parliamentarians who are to blame for this caos and nobody else. If divorce is not accepted then there will be a time to try again, then one day the people will be so fed up (as already they are) that they will not vote for those who are against divorce. Another thing is that Malta will continue to be the laugh stock of the world. So come on Joseph do it! There are thousands behind you and you will get more votes in the future, remember that the old conservative people and old clergy that are against divorce are dying by the hundreds and the youths and young people both from MLP and PN and the other new parties are in favour. Be couragious Joseph and do it. Show those who are against divorce that we are in the 21st century and there is no place for hypocrits and begots any more in our country. Do it Joseph!"

DR. JOSEPH MUSCAT - LABOUR LEADER ON THE EARTHQUAKE IN HIS PARTY

"Joseph I support what you are doing and wish that you control certain arrogant Labour members of Parliament that are frightening away former and past supporters from the Malta Labour Party with their arrogant behaviour and who think that they are gods. If these are not controlled I prefer that the Malta Labour Party will remain in opposition. In fact I was happy that this particular Labour MP has been twenty years in the opposition benches except for eighteen months where he had no special appointment, maybe he learns not to continue to be arrogant. Keep it up Joseph for the good sake of the MLP to get in government." - Dr. John Zammit - Liberal Leader sent this to The Times of Malta of Monday 11th August 2008 for the article written by Dr. Joseph Muscat, the new Labour Leader.

Dr.Muscat should take care of some arrogant members of parliament of his party if he wish that some day he will be Prime Minister. We hope that the clean-up he will be doing will succeed.

STATEMENT BY DR. JOHN ZAMMIT - LIBERAL LEADER 16th July 2008

MALTA IS BEING INVADED. We cannot continue to receive illigal immigrants. Malta should inform all countries that we are FULL UP and those who come to Malta are not going to be picked by AFM patrol boats anymore and that it is their responsibility if their boats capsize or they drown. Libya must be informed also and the Maltese armed forces should not go for the rescue, because what is happening is that those illigal immigrants who are already in Malta are phoning or e-mailing their counterparts that they are having it good in Malta to come over. If the AFM patrol boats in protest will not go out to rescue when receiving distress signals from illigal immigrants then the illigal immigrants will think more than twice if they risk their lives to come to Malta. But this should be made clear as a warning to all before taking action. MALTA IS FULL UP - NO MORE ILLIGAL IMMIGRANTS whether black or white, men, women or children.

Boats with illigal immigrants are coming to Malta daily (left).  ALDM leader John Zammit (right) "we are not against black people, but MALTA IS FULL UP".

Anders Fogh Rasmussen as ALDM is getting more support from Liberal Parties from Europe and the world. Before we received messages of support from Lib Dems of U.K., ELDR, LYMEC from Brussels, Liberals of Japan, Kosovo and others Dr. John Zammit was in Copenhagen before he founded the ALDM when he attended a European conference and from where he campaigned for more freedom and democracy for Malta especially the need of a divorce law for the increasing numbers of Maltese who are living in separation and who's marriage failed. John is seen with Dr. Esko H. Koskinen from Finland and  Mr. C. Lungren from Sweden. During that week in Denmark he also visited Sweden taking with him the divorce campaign where he received good support. John is seen here in the heart of Copenhagen - in Nyhavn. Dr. John Zammit in Amsterdam in front of  the train Central Station where he was supposed to meet Dr. Rebecca Gomperts, he posted newspaper articles which were published in Maltese newspapers as he learned that she had some emergency to attend to, but the mission was accomplished. In fact Dr. Rebecca Gomperts paid a visit to Malta and gave a talk at Valletta in October 2007 our challenge to those against her who said they will stop her to enter Malta, was also accomplished because not even the Maltese authorities tried to stop her entering Malta as now we are members of the European Union.

Parliamentary questions 11 December 2006 E-4646/06 Answer given by Mr Frattini on behalf of the Commission The Honourable Member raises the question of whether the fact that Maltese law does not provide for divorce is incompatible with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU(1), the fundamental principles of the EU and, therefore, constitutes discrimination. Article 9 of the Charter (‘right to marry and right to found a family’) does not refer to a ‘right to divorce’, which is, thus, still governed by domestic laws. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has, so far, refused to recognise a right to dissolve a marriage as included under the protection of the ECHR(2). There are considerable differences between the national laws as regards the conditions for divorce. Maltese law does not provide for divorce, but only for legal separation and marriage annulment. The Community has adopted rules on jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters and matters of parental responsibility(3). Council Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000, which is directly applicable in Malta as of 1 May 2004, foresees the mutual recognition of divorce judgments issued in another Member State. It is to be noted, however, that Council Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000 does not impose an obligation on Member States to introduce and/or modify their existing legislation on divorce. Consequently, Maltese authorities act in accordance with Community legislation as long as they recognise divorce judgments issued in other Member States. Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000 describes the competent courts for divorce matters. According to this Provision, a couple may apply for divorce in the Member State of which one or both of them are habitually resident, or alternatively in the Member State of which they are both nationals. The Commission is not of the view that the current situation leads to discrimination between a couple where both spouses are Maltese nationals and a couple where a Maltese citizen is married to a non-Maltese citizen. Neither of the two couples would be able to obtain a divorce before a Maltese court since Maltese law does not provide for divorce. On the other hand, both couples would be able to apply for divorce before the courts of another Member State provided they are habitually resident in that Member State pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000. (1) OJ C 364, 18.12.2000. (2) European Court of Human Rights, Johnston and Others v. Ireland (Appl. No 9697/82), judgment of 18 December 1986, Ser. A, No 112. (3) Council Regulation (EC) No 1347/2000 of 29 May 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters and in matters of parental responsibility for children of both spouses, OJ L 160, 30.6.2000. Last updated: 17 January 2007 Legal notice   DEAR FRANCO FRATTINI - IS THIS DEMOCRACY   THAT MALTA DOES NOT HAVE A DIVORCE LAW????

GENERAL ELECTION WON BY PN

After an arrogant election campaign by the big Maltese

political parties against each other and more against

the small parties the PN won by only 1,580 votes.

The effect of the small parties although not large

was enough to hold the big parties from getting

the 50% plus 1 vote for the necessary majority

according to the Maltese Constitution.

Elections Special

- The Party Leaders' Statements

We appeal to all Maltese and Gozitans alike so that for the coming general
 elections they free their minds and vote as if they are in the European
 Parliament where there are several groupings and if they elect a Liberal
 member of Parliament in the Maltese Parliament they will have support of
 the third largest political group after the Conservatives EPP and the
 Socialists PES.

 With this in mind and with a liberal member of parliament we in Malta for
 the first time will have diversity in thinking and more liberal policies
 so much so that we will get rid of the two party system which brought
 frustration to everybody, be it a Nationalist or a Labour Government which
 always end the same...people grambling and frustration!!!

Dr. John Zammit on different days during the year 2007 and as recent as on Friday 11th January 2008 held discussions with the former Prime Minister of Malta the Hon. Dr. Dom Mintoff about the coming General Elections, the policies and aims of the Liberal Alliance of Malta which was founded by Dr. John Zammit in November of 2006, after Dr. Emmy Bezzina decided to go it alone with his Alpha Partit Politiku. Dr. Dom Mintoff praised John Zammit for his venture and augered success to the new liberal alliance formed from several NGOs, including members from Dom Mintoff's own Maltese Arise Front, like Charles Aquilina, Vince Arnaud and others. More things are happening......

Dom Mintoff signed the photo above wishing good health and best wishes to John Zammit "of the Liberal Alliance" on 11th January 2008.

ALDM DELEGATION TO THE

ELDR IN BRUSSELS

A delegation from ALDM made up from Dr. John Zammit, Charles Aquilina, Jean-Pierre Sammut and Ms Rita Sacco in December 2007 visited Brussels for discussions with the ELDR (see news page), especially with their Political Advisor about Malta's coming General Elections and the political and economic situation in Malta after Malta became a member of the European Union and about cooperation between the Maltese Liberal Democratic Party and the European Liberal Democratic Reform Parties of Europe.

It must be noted that the ELDR are the third largest group in the European Parliament after the Conservatives EPP and the Socialists PES. Discussions were also held with a LYMEC official on further cooperation and to prepare activities which include Malta.

The courtesy visit by ALDE/ELDR Leader Mr. Graham Watson to Malta last October 2007 was also on the agenda.

WELCOME GRAHAM WATSON

 GRAHAM WATSON on The ALDE Group

» Graham's Videoblog

On the occasion of the first visit to Malta by the Hon. Graham Watson MEP, Leader of the Alliance of Liberal Democrats of Europe in the European Parliament the Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika Malta (ALDM) wish to welcome him to our islands and also hopes that his visit will bring the Maltese Authorities more to their senses regarding discrimination, freedoms and rights of those who do not believe in the Catholic faith and who wish to be able to live a life free from religious dictatorship as we have in Malta.

On this occasion the Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika Malta is organizing an exhibition (click to see video) liberalalliance  about the Maltese and European Liberal Parties. The venue is the hall at 60A, Strait Street (corner with Old Theatre Street) Valletta. On Monday 8th and 9th October from 10.00 a.m. till 6.00 p.m. Everybody is welcome and the entrance is free.

Dr. John Zammit, Leader of Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika Malta (Liberal Democratic Alliance Malta) together with Charles Aquilina - Deputy Leader, Jean-Pierre Sammut - General Secretary and Ms Rita Sacco - President of the Women's Section and member of the executive committee held a half hour meeting with Hon. Graham Watson at the office of the European Parliament Representation Office at Valletta where they were met also by Dr. Julian Vassallo, Malta's European Parliament representative in Malta. Discussions were held about the Malta Liberal Party formation and what part ALDM is playing in the Maltese political scene, how we are being boycotted by the media, about the problem of not having a divorce law in Malta and also about Dr. Rebecca Gomperts visit to Malta and the shortage of democracy in Malta that is affecting liberal and progressive persons. He also told ALDM Leader to concentrate on the candidateship of the European Parliament Election of 2009 as the ALDE wish that Malta will elect at least one Liberal MEP in the coming European Parliament election when now Malta is going to have six seats.

Hon. Graham Watson gave Dr. John Zammit a copy of his recently published book THE POWER OF SPEECH. Mr. Watson thanked our delegation also for the information book about Malta and souvenirs given to him and his secretary. (click to see video)  Meeting Graham Watson

MEP predicts a more liberal Malta The thrust for increased civil liberties in matters such as divorce must come from within, Liberal Democrat MEP Graham Watson told a business breakfast with editors and journalists yesterday. Fielding questions, Mr Watson said social attitudes may become more liberal at a faster rate as a result of EU membership, but change still had to come from within. He was replying to questions a day before an ideological clash between pro-abortion campaigner Rebecca Gomperts and the pro-life movement, who will be protesting against her speech in Valletta tonight. "It's not up to me as a liberal constitutionalist to change social attitudes here... but it would surprise me if over an extended period Malta would not have moved in a more liberal direction," he said. Briefed about the anti-abortion law entrenchment debate, he said, without placing himself in the pro or against camp, that he does not believe abortion laws have any place in a Constitution. "Its simply not the kind of thing that should be in the Constitution".

WHY THE ALLEANZA LIBERAL-DEMOKRATIKA?

 The Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika (Malta) - in English - The Liberal Democratic Alliance (Malta) is formed from a group of Liberal Democratic persons, male, female and youths for the bringing of liberal and progressive laws such as DIVORCE to Malta and its islands and to be in defence of progressive persons' ideas and teachings to be introduced to our islands. As Malta now is a member of the European Union it is important that we have such an organisation and most important to be affiliated with the other Liberal Parties and groups from all the member states of the European Union. The Liberal ALDE group (the third largest in the EP) is now composed of 106 Members of the European Parliament after Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union. Our political party is a centre left party and if one day we have elected members of parliament we will side with political parties of centre left leanings, although certain topics will be considered according to the situation. 

We have been in contact with other European Liberal Democratic Reform Political Parties and for the first time we have introduced an individual members group both for adults over 35 years and for youths under 35 years. The Liberal Democratic Alliance (Malta) was founded in Brussels on Sunday 26th November 2006 by Dr. John Zammit (the Chairman of ALD - Malta) during a visit to Brussels, the European Parliament and the ELDR/ALDE Head Office whilst also registering for the first time a number of Maltese persons (adults and youths) as Individual Members and so formed the first ever Maltese group of  persons who became members with the European Liberal Democratic Reform Party and with LYMEC Liberal Youths. Those who wish to become members can either come personally at our Valletta office or send for an application form by post. The membership for Malta is only Euros 5.  

Those who want to contact the Alleanza Liberali Demokratika should write to: Dr. John Zammit (Leader), Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika - Malta, 60A, Strait Street, Valletta VLT 1436, Malta - Europe. Tel/Fax: (356) 21690365, Cellular: (356) 99459714. E-mail: mensra@maltanet.net . Membership is accepted for both local membership in the ALD or the ELDR or LYMEC as individual membership through our Valletta office. Mr. Charles Aquilina, Deputy Leader, can also be contacted at the same office. Other committee members are: Jean-Pierre Sammut General Secretary.

We have to do more for Malta, we have to do more for democracy and liberty, our motto is: FREE YOUR MIND and that is what we want the Maltese and Gozitan people to do. So do something to difend liberty, diversity and democracy, don't just leave the politicians do what they like.

ALLEANZA LIBERAL-DEMOKRATIKA OPPOSES DR (REVEREND) VANNI XUEREB BEING CEO OF MEUSEC 

On behalf of the Alleanza Liberal-Demokratika Malta www.freewebs.com/liberalalliance we oppose the appointment of Dr. Vanni Xuereb (a former priest who is one of the many who are "escaping from the convent") as chairman of MEUSAC and we are going to take the necessary steps even in the European Parliament so that priests or religious persons will stay out of committees or commissions which have nothing to do with religion but with politics. In 2006 when I took part in the European Parliament's committee about the separation of religion and politics in the EU Constitution, I enfasized what was happening in Malta and the committee under the chairmanship of Liberal Democrat Sophie Int' Veld MEP agreed with me and it also was put in the declaration to leave christianity and religion out of the European Constitution. It seems that the Maltese Government never seems to learn and want to keep Malta in the middle ages. - Dr. John Zammit - Leader Alleanza Liberal Demokratika Malta

ANSWER FROM THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

23rd May 2008

Dear Sir,

 

I refer to your message on the subject of an appointment of a former clergyman to the head of the MEUSEC committee  in Malta.

 

Please be advised that, owing to the restrictions imposed upon it by the European Treaties, the European Parliament has no authority to intervene in the internal affairs of member states.

 

Consequently, we cannot take position in the above matter .

 

Best regards,

===========================================================================================

Dr. John Zammit (second from left) during the meeting in the European Parliament Building in Brussels for the preparing of the Brussels Declaration
	Brussels Declaration launched European Parliament, 27 February 2007 At a meeting today at the European Parliament, the Vision for Europe campaign launched the Brussels Declaration, a restatement of Europe’s shared values.  Supported by hundreds of national and European politicians, prominent academics and community leaders the Brussels Declaration is the centrepiece of the campaign  to  head off claims by organised religion for even greater involvement in Europe’s political affairs. Attempts to claim the Christian religion as the foundation for the continent’s democratic and ethical values are being strongly contested. Introducing the Brussels Declaration to a distinguished audience of MEPs and European secularists, Roy Brown, coordinator of the campaign, said: “The Vision for Europe campaign is a response by Europe’s secularists to increasing polarisation in Europe. Faced with the growing assertiveness of radical Islam, many religious leaders are attempting to reassert Europe’s supposed “Judeo-Christian” identity. We must not confuse our history with our identity. We do not see regression to a Europe in which religions play an increasing and divisive role as the answer to these problems.  Rather we need to concentrate all our efforts on reinforcing those values which unite us while drawing a line against attempts to undermine our cherished freedoms”, said Mr Brown in presenting the first copy of the Brussels Declaration to Dr Max Maldacker, representing the German presidency. The meeting, hosted by the European Parliament All-Party group on Separation of Religion and Politics was chaired by MEP Sophie in’t Veld, who highlighted the need for all of us to defend our common values. Dr Maldacker, replying to Mr Brown, welcomed the declaration and undertook to bring it to the attention of the group working on a new attempt to revitalise the stalled European Constitution. He explained that with such a wide divergence of opinion in Europe over not only the content but the very existence of a constitutional document, the drafting process would take several years and involve several future presidencies. He warned however that secularism is not enough, pointing to the Soviet Union as an example of a secular state. Elfriede Harth, speaking for Catholics for a Free Choice, said: “It is important for all who share our concerns over women’s rights and the dignity and autonomy of the individual to work together”, citing the Brussels Declaration as an example of what can be achieved.  MEP Kathalijne Buitenweg pointed out that the values in the Brussels Declaration are not exclusively European, but universal and shared by all. Several speakers from the floor emphasised the importance of the resisting attempts by organised religion to claim a greater role in European institutions, and some gave examples from their own countries of abuse of religious privilege. David Pollock, president of the European Humanist Federation, suggested that the German presidency might do worse than base the new constitution on the Brussels Declaration.  In his concluding remarks, Roy Brown pointed out that the Soviet Union had been an atheistic state, the very antithesis of the secular state that we were seeking to create. He accused the pope and other religious leaders of deliberately confusing secularism with militant atheism in their attempts to portray secularism as amoral. The Brussels Declaration is a restatement not only of our rights and freedoms but of our responsibilities to others and to future generations. He challenged Europe’s political leaders to ensure that any future constitution defended Europe’s liberal, humanitarian and inclusive values: the values still shared by the great majority of our citizens. The Brussels Declaration is backed by the International Humanist and Ethical Union, Catholics for Free Choice and the European Humanist Federation with support from the European Parliament’s All Party Working Group on Religion and Politics and over 40 European non-governmental organisations amongst them the Liberal Democratic Alliance - Malta, represented by Dr. John Zammit. In his intervention John Zammit mentioned how in Malta there is no divorce law and the Catholic Church is always supporting the Nationalist Party, the years of the 1960s when it was a mortal sin to vote Labour and how the Catholic Church is always interfiering in politics so much so that even the Socialist members of the Maltese Parliament are afraid to mention divorce and abortion and how the Nationalist Government supported by the Malta Catholic Church is trying to impose in the Malta Constitution a clause that abortion will not be allowed in Malta. Over 400 of Europe’s leading personalities have so far lent their names to the Brussels Declaration including more than 60 MEPs. The signatories include leading conservative, liberal, social democratic and green party politicians, Catholic, Protestant, Humanist, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu leaders, and many leading academics, philosophers and scientists, including several Nobel prize-winners. Immediately following the launch all eight Hungarian Socialist MEP’s signed the Declaration, joining the 10 out of 15 cross-party Danish MEPs who signed last week. The Declaration is now open for signature by all European citizens at: www.avisionforeurope.org The Brussels Declaration can be downloaded from the website in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Swedish, Dutch, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Latvian and Slovak. More languages will be available shortly. The website also contains a detailed analysis and discussion of each of the values listed in the Brussels Declaration together with a full list of distinguished signatories.

Is this Malta 2007 or Taliban philosophy, lawyer asks Claudia Calleja Malta is a democracy in which people ought to be allowed to decide whether or not they want to go to an adult club, a lawyer argued yesterday. "I want to live in a country where a decision whether to frequent or not this type of club it taken by me... and not imposed by the state... This is why Malta signed so many conventions," Joseph Giglio said. He was one of the lawyers making legal submission in the case of 33 foreign women charged with involvement in the management of clubs for immoral acts. Magistrate Antonio Mizzi, presiding over the case, first heard legal submissions by the prosecution, conducted by Police Superintendent Peter Paul Zammit. Mr Zammit said the prosecution had to prove that the women were involved in the management of the clubs and that immoral activities were carried out there. He argued that it had been proven that the women were paid a pre-established share by the owners and this meant they were involved in the management. The next thing to prove was that there had been immoral acts. This, he said, revolved around the act of lap dancing - an act that had to be put under the microscope for the purposes of this case. Although the law did not target private morality, it was concerned with what took place in public places. In the bars, and through the lap dances available, there was an "undue emphasis on sex" in a dance that allowed contact between dancer and client, the prosecuting officer argued. The magistrate then heard the women's defence lawyers make their case. Lawyers Robert Abela, Ian Farrugia, Joseph Arrigo and Shazoo Ghaznavi made brief submissions and then gave the floor to Dr Giglio who started his address thus: "I'm wondering whether we're living in Malta in 2007 or dealing with issues more in line with the philosophy of the (puritanical Islamist movement) Taliban". The attitude of the police in this case was similar to that adopted by the Taliban as they wanted to impose how mature people ought to behave. The case had started because the police had been instructed to raid the clubs and arrest any women wearing G-strings. Speaking about the issue of morality, Dr Giglio said we lived in a society that was in constant evolution, adding that morality was a code of conduct that was accepted by that society. He questioned how it was possible, or logical, that - in a society were we are surrounded with sexual innuendos - the police had arraigned the women. He also questioned by what logic was it acceptable for a child to see a woman in a G-string on the beach but this was not permitted in a club where the entry age was 21. Dr Giglio disagreed with the prosecution's thesis that the women were involved in the management of the bars because they were given a share. He noted that, if this were the case, all paid employees would be managers of the companies they worked with. This, he said, was absurd.

• representation – increasing the participation of all in society
• recognition – celebrating diversity
• respect – eliminating stereotypes and the prejudice and violence that often surrounds them

MALTA IS

A DICTATORSHIP

not different from Tibet!?!

On 1^st May 2004, Malta joined the European Union (EU) as one of ten ‘enlargement’ countries. Expanding eastwards and southwards, the EU embraced Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta. Malta is unique among the states of the newly-expanded EU in having a Constitution that formally protects and favours a particular Church — the Roman Catholic: “Chapter 1 (Article 2):

Whilst the European Union is making alot of excuses to Turkey not to let them in the European Union because they are saying that they are not secular and because they are MUSLIMS, Malta is a dictatorship of the Catholic Church and those non-government organizations who are secular and are in favour of divorce and abortion are boycotted from everthing being it state aid, from the media, especially the Public Broadcasting Services, the news is edited so that anybody from the Liberal Democratic Alliance or other progressive organizations are cut off even if we squeeze ourselves between Nationalist Party (Govt) members of parliament, we are left out of Government Boards or Corporations etc. Click maltastory to see the truth:
