I couldn&#039;t be fagged to look up the real name of the programme. I just looked at the TVM ONE schedule and it was Madwarna.

The name of that programme is not Madwarna.  The programme you watched is a programme produced by the Fundazzjoni Celebrazzjonijiet Nazzjonali and it has a different name - I think it is a special series of programmes to commemorate the 10th anniversary since Malta joined the EU.  If you ask me, it is an exercise in re-writing history the Labour way.]]></description>

Alfred Sant did not want Malta to be &quot;tassew indipendenti&quot;; he wanted his OWN, private, little republic without any foreign interference (reminiscence of his absurd colonial mentality). He wanted to govern this republic the way he saw fit, not the way democracy dictated. That&#039;s why Malta being in the EU saddens him; no principle involved. Just the fact that he lost his battle and he did not get his own way.

					<description><![CDATA[This afternoon I turned the TV on and started to watch Madwarna on TVM ONE, it was about Malta&#039;s accession in the EU. 

Jimmy Magro said &quot;Il-Labour Party qatt ma kien kontra l-Unjoni Ewropeja.&quot;  &quot;The Labour Party was never against the European Union&quot;.

I went out for a walk to calm down.

Ten years from now Magro will be telling us that the Labour Party helped the PN government so that Malta would get the best deal for EU membership.]]></description>

http://maltarightnow.com/news/2014/05/04/alfred-sant-jghid-li-jinsab-imnikket-bis-shubija-ta-malta-fl-unjoni-ewropea/

He then goes on to justify refusing the result of the referendum. What he doesn&#039;t mention is that the decision not to do so had been taken at party level, the general conference dictating that the only decisive vote would have been the general election, and he also doesn&#039;t say how they came out that Sunday afternoon saying Partnership had won. 

I sincerely hope the PN gets another seat, having just two seats, he&#039;ll monopolise and disintegrate what&#039;s left of Muscat&#039;s support in the PES. Wishful thinking I know. 

How on Earth will Sant ever coalesce his views with that of the European Socialists, who can be accused of everything except Euroscepticism? His is a fundamental stand, closer to Nigel Farage, the Lega and all other groups within that sphere. 

And how will Muscat handle his dark horse within the group? One wonders whether that other outfit, Alleanza Bidla, has brought about this scramble for the Eurosceptic vote. 

I have no idea how the PN hasn&#039;t yet read what&#039;s going onin Labour, why they haven&#039;t addressed those 8,000 who have been accused, in Maltese obviously, of stealing jobs from the Maltese. The agenda is theirs, there&#039;s nothing incoherent in it, either we&#039;re for the EU, or we&#039;re a gut reaction chasing after their core vote. An impossibility if I may.]]></description>
