Comments on: Muscat says the social partners agree. They release statements saying they don’t. Or release no statement at all.

In reply to ciccio.

We remember Mintoff’s late-evening threat at Castille to manufacturers during the TVM boycott period:

Either advertise on TVM, or your water and electricity supplies will be cut off.

Nothing changes with MLP. This was evident from the start.

For the prime minister, silence means consent. So he first buys their silence or bullies them into silence, and then he says they have agreed.

Both the Chamber of Commerce and MHRA are lackeys of Muscat and cowards par excellance. After the heavy drubbing Muscat got from the EU parliament the CC/MHRA have no option but to reconsider their position.

is there not somewhere in the constitution that one can remove from office a pathological liar?

Then scroll down to where it says Audio Files tal-Parlament.

Daphne is it possible for you to get hold of a photograph showing all the constituted bodies and social partners grouped with Eddie Fenech Adami to show their complete agreement with EU accession? This would show exactly what it means to say that government has the unconditional support of the social partners. Hopefully this will be picked up by the press and published repeatedly.

The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry didn’t issue a statement of support, nor did the MHEA or the MCESD.

The only statement of support was issued by the GWU.

Enough said.
