And on this:
He asked members to come forward with suggestions in case the government refused to sit down and discuss possible solutions with MCSED members. One member pointed out that the MHRA is a strong pressure group and that it was time to act.
However, many members called out for a comprehensive public relations campaign clearly explaining to the public the effects of the new tariffs on the hotel industry.
“It seems the government is using public opinion against us – people don’t seem to understand how these tariffs affect us and there is a general mentality that they are paying extra taxes to pay for our capping,” said another member.
Chew on this:
The Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association yesterday informed the government that it will not accept the proposed utility tariffs, which if implemented, will lead to a loss of jobs in the hotel industry.During an extraordinary general meeting held yesterday, MHRA president Kevin DeCesare told concerned members that that association will not accept the tariffs that were unexpectedly presented to the members of the Malta Council for Social and Economic Development (MCSED). “We were led to believe that the capping system will remain in place due to the importance of maintaining our competitiveness and employment levels,” said Mr DeCesare. He lashed out at the government for dropping the proposed tariffs on the council unexpectedly without any form of consultation.
How come you expect sooooo much from someone who is opposition and then you come with 101 excuses with the ones who should be working night and day to dig us out of economic sh.thole, which, after all, is of their making.
Let's grow up folks, and call a spade a spade when needs be. If we do not take action now, and I mean NOW, most middle-class families will go bankrupt.
So when E.F.A went there, under the tent with Gaddafi why did he go there?? let us grow up as a nation and not always think the negative in everything, if we pull together we can make it, there is a bright future ahead of us let us put everything aside, and think for sons and daughters, and not let politics divide us,yes we may not agree in the way we do things, but we have one aim, MALTA, this little island with all of our defects , so what, at least we try.
But what about the real hot issues? Have they also talked about the problem of illegal immigration? I guess no.
Please prove me that I'm wrong!
