Communists support Transport strike for better working conditions.




The Communist Party of Malta expresses its’ solidarity with Malta Public Transport workers in their struggle for better working conditions, healthier working environment and for an improvement in their wages.
 
“The Government should take the advice of the new leader of UK Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn who intends re-nationalisation of the railways transport network. In UK Nationalisation of public services will assure better working conditions for the workers, affordability of the service, and a better service for the public”, stated the Communist Party of Malta.

Postscript

A 50% emergency services renders the strike futile whoever supports this is a class enemy. 
 

“Government should address the inequality in housing”


 
The Communist Party of Malta appeals to the Government to address the issue of the rise in property prices. Statistics issued recently by the Central Bank of Malta show that prices of property have risen by 2.8% in first quarter of 2015. Furthermore, the national concern on the amount of properties left vacant for speculative purposes should also be addressed.
 
The Party states that “such increase in property prices is making it more difficult for low income earners to acquire a decent accommodation. To rent a property in Malta is also becoming more expensive”.
 
“The Government should not withdraw from its social responsibility. The effect of the free market economy in the property sector is resulting in more virgin land taken up for development, and an unaffordable market property arrangement system has taken hold”.
 “A property renting system based on an affordable and sustainable model is non-existing in Malta. In the Scandinavian Countries, 95% of all the property in their country is rented at an affordable price”.   
 
 Thus, the Communist Party of Malta suggest to the Government to introduce laws for a progressive taxation on vacant property (third property onwards). The government should also start introducing policies to regulate the property sector, or else increase wages and subsidies to help especially those on low income.

Message of solidarity with the KKE for the electoral battle on the 20th of September



We, the communist and workers parties that sign this statement express our solidarity with the communists of Greece in the face of the difficult electoral battle on the 20th of September.
  We call on the workers, the youth, the popular strata of Greece to strengthen the KKE at the ballot box as well. As it is the KKE that militantly defends their rights all these years, against the anti-people policies of the governments, the EU and IMF.
 The increase of the KKE’s forces is what guarantees the strengthening and effectiveness of the struggles of the Greek people for the rights of the working class and the popular strata, for the overthrow of capitalist barbarity, for workers’-people’s power.

Malta should support Palestinians to raise their flag at U.N Headquarters.


 The Communist Party of Malta appeals to the Maltese Government to support the Palestinians in their resolution calling upon the UN General Assembly to allow observer states to have their flag raised at U.N Headquarters for this month’s gathering of world leaders.

 The Party said that “the Palestinians are seeking the General Assembly’s approval of a draft resolution that would allow observer states to raise their flags. Several nations along with Malta have already shown support for the Palestinians' pursuit of statehood, amongst them also the Vatican”..

 “Maintaining a position in favour of Palestine should continue to be Malta’s prerogative. This entails that Malta plays an important part as always, for peace and stability in the Mediterranean, together with other nations for Palestinian sovereignty and rights”, stated the Communist Party of Malta.
