Communist Party of Malta states that the G8/G20 meeting held recently in Toronto, Canada as a shameful act from political economic perspective and also on the repression shown by the Police on peaceful demonstrators.
“TheG8/G20 measures announced to save capitalism from the crises are a continuous threat on the workers. In fact the measures made public, were to reduce the deficit for the coming three years, are a continuation and reinforcement of more austerity measures against the working people and their families, youths, pensioners, and the unemployed.
These measures are being taking jointly with International financial capital institutions amongst them the IMF and the World Bank.
The European Union is also endorsing these austerity measures that are resulting in reduction of the minimum wage and social services, wage freeze for public service employees, retirement age up to 70 years, and privatisation of more public services.
The Communist Party of Malta supports the resistance offered by the workers together with various Trade Unions and with the support of Left wing parties in the European Union, so that alternative measures based on social justice, whereby banks and essential services be nationalised, an increase in the minimum wage and more public investments in social services and pensions.
“Austerity measures should be directed towards the capitalist class. Measures should be taken to reduce tax evasion and increase windfall taxes on financial institutions and bank transactions. If implemented successfully, these measures will decrease the burden on the working class.”

Hands off the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea!
The recent provocation by the US and the Republic of Korea towards the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, whereby the DPRK is being framed for the Sinking of the South Korean Warship Cheonan, shows off the hostile policy by the US and and its puppets in the Republic of Korea towards the DPRK.
This new threat being leveled at North Korea, has the intentions to bring about, a new round of sanctions against the progressive people of the DPRK by the international community. However the DPRK is denying any involvement in this unfortunate incident where 46 Sailors lost their lives
The Cheonan incident has a strong smell of foul play committed by the accusers. This reminds us of another similar incident in the past. During Cuba’s war of independence the USS Warship Maine was blown up in Havana’s harbour, and the US conveniently blamed Spain for this misdeed, so it could interfere in Cuba’s liberation war.
Had the DPRK sunk the Cheonan as it is being claimed it would not had been afraid to declare it it. The DPRK was not scared to capture US gunboats that trespassed into its territorial waters in the past
The results alleged by the investigations of the causes that sunk the Cheonan were concluded by those who lied on weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was alleged to possess prior to the Iraqi Invasion which had not the approval of the UN. Can we ever believe such fabrications?.
US Imperialism which was instrumental in splitting Korea into two separate states and has kept its influence through a series of military puppet dictators and always thwarted the people’s wishes for reunification of the two Koreas
The US still cannot stomach the defeat it suffered it suffered at the hands the Democratic Korea People’s Army during the Korean War and 57 years on.
War Mongering hawks in the Pentagon has still have revanchist plans and schemes against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
The Communist Party of Malta calls for a stop of these provocations so that the people of both Koreas will be free to reunite their country.

Statement of Communist Party of Malta
The Communist Party of Malta is pleased to significantly celebrate the 46th anniversary of Comrade Kim Jong Il’s start of work at the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea with the Korean people.
June 19, 1964 when Comrade Kim Jong Il, General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea started to work at the WPK Central Committee and was an event of historical significance in strengthening and developing the WPK and accomplishing the Korean people's cause of socialism.
Comrade Kim Jong Il has devoted his all to the party work since his start of work at the Party Central Committee , thereby having strengthened and developed the Party into invincible one.
The fresh image of single-minded unity of the whole society which one can see only in the DPRK could have been resulted in thanks to the wise leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Il over the Party work.
Although the south Korean authorities in conspiracy with the U.S. recently fabricated “ results of investigation” over the sinking of a warship and are manoeuvring anti-DPRK campaign to ignite a war of aggression on the Korean peninsula, can they never break the might of a single-minded unity of the DPRK people.
The CPM strongly urges the South Korean authorities to implement the June 15 Joint Declaration, the most reasonable great programme for reunification of Korea.
We express our conviction that the cause of building a thriving nation of the DPRK will be successfully accomplished as long as people of the DPRK are led by Comrade Kim Jong Il, General Secretary of the WPK.

The Communist Party of Malta condemns the killing of humanitarian activists
The Communist Party of Malta condemns without any reservation, the Israelis’ barbaric act of piracy against a civilian convoy flotilla that was taking humanitarian aid to Gaza. This attack was carried by the Israeli Armed Forces in International waters.
This murderous aggression left 19 peaceful civilians dead and scores of other persons wounded. This adds to the list another Israeli crime against humanity.
The Communist Party of Malta shows solidarity with the activists aboard these ships, and extends it condolences to the families of the victims who died in the Israeli attack.
The Communist Party of Malta rejects totally the Israeli arguments that this convoy was breaking international law and reiterates that, it is the Israeli State who has committed the illegality. To attack any ship in international waters is an act of piracy.
The Blockade that Israelis are enforcing on Gaza is also illegal, and is only supported by US imperialism and the EU. The Communist Party of Malta calls on the Maltese Government to follow other countries example and send back the Israeli Ambassador.

The Communist Party of Malta shows Solidarity with Bianca Zammit.
The Communist Party of Malta shows Solidarity with Bianca Zammit and other left wing activists that support the Palestinian Cause who are victims of the Israel Occupying Military Force in Gaza. Due to this illegal occupation, 20% of agricultural land in the Gaza strip is being used as a buffer Zone instead of agricultural purposes.
The Communist Party of Malta along with other Communists and left Parties condemn the brutal attacks that are being continually committed against the Palestinian population in Gaza who are suffering poverty and lack of basic services because of the total isolation that they are finding themselves in.”
“We deplore the European Parliament for not having a common stance on this issue, although we understand that the majority of the European Countries and Parliamentarians support Israeli Imperialism. We welcome the role and position taken by the United Left Block in the European Parliament to bring forward the Palestinian and Kurdish people cause.”
The Communist Party of Malta has always supported the Palestinian struggle and we agree with the ‘two state’ solution that is also endorsed by the Communist Party of Israel.
“We note that certain western countries have a hypocritical policy toward the Middle East issue. They are using two weights two measures as they have never condemned Israel as a ‘rogue state’ on its continuous non observance of UN resolutions, while on the other hand they rejected Palestinian Sovereignty by not accepting election results that gave Hamas the right to govern in the Gaza Strip.”
“We are appalled by the comments made by the Israeli Ambassador in Malta and the People of Malta should not accept any interference in our internal affairs.”
