PN is best hope for jobs - Gonzi
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi told youths at the Valletta Waterfront this evening that the re-election of a PN government was their best hope for jobs.
Dr Gonzi said the country needed to produce more skilled workers for new and emerging sectors including financial sectors, IT, the creative industry, pharmaceuticals and the aviation industry, among other sectors.
The prime minister underscored the investment which the government is making in schools, Mcast and the University. Funding for education, including the stipends, had been maintained despite the difficult economic scenario, he said, and that would continue to be the case.
Abroad, he said, University graduates were unable to find jobs. He, as prime minister, would not tolerate such a situation in Malta.
He also recalled that the government had proposed, in the Budget, that young people would be given a stipend if they opted to focus on voluntary work for a year.
Dr Gonzi said the government was also investing heavily in sports, including a new Sports School and more facilities, particularly to encourage more sorts disciplines.
The government was also planning to make school auditoriums available for bands and dancing troupes.

“Labour would also promote a discussion on the living wage to ensure that all workers had a salary which enabled them to have a proper standard of living. This would not be an imposition, but a discussion leading to consensus.” It’s all bahhhh now

.“Replacing a government monopoly with a private one is not liberalization. Liberalization means opening the market up so as to allow the consumer more choice generated through competition”. I’m quoting Dr.Muscat word by word, is he not contradicting himself now replacing a government monopoly with a private one. “Transparency is the key” where is the transparency now ???

“It is not possible to have a credible manifesto if you do not have clear and credible principles” I’m quoting JM words by words during his Sunday speeches, live by what you preach Dr.Muscat it’s time to prove to us that we can trust you, publish your reports and your studies so you too can have a credible manifesto

Joseph Muscat and lejber program = Electricity Bills
Gonzi and PN program = ECONOMY, JOBS, HEALTH, EDUCATION, INFRUSTRUCTURE, REDUCE TAXES, RIGHTS, EU, ENERGY, STANDARD OF LIVING, and more and more and more and more!!
Clearly Malta and the Maltese have only one choice! PN!

When we were kids, we used to play a game that was accompanied by a chant that went something like this:
Ara ġejja l-mewt għalik!
Biex tixwik, biex taqlik.
Ara ġejja, ara waslet....
The PN's campaign to date is a vivid reminder of this game.

His own, that's all he cares about and nobody else's.
Joseph Aquilina
Jan 12th, 11:41
The fact is that he did care about the jobs of others; he even invested state money to safeguard the jobs of others when these where at risk. HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY SUCH THINGS! In the way I am sure that lejber would also try to safeguard jobs (because work is very important) don't you for a second even consider that Gonzi did AND MANAGED to generate SO MANY JOBS - FACT!

The comments in here show just how superficial the MLP and its supporters are. Smart City is a private initiative made possible by astute economic management. As an IT professional I can assure you that we cannot find enough IT professionals to fill our current requirements. It is a fact that GonziPN created 20,000 jobs - using Smart City that is slow to take off shows you have no argument ...
Eve Axiaq
Jan 12th, 12:10
Smart city is not an entirely private initiative. The land belongs to the government. Can you detail your facts about the 20000 jobs?

I used to think that , I was a PN supporter but now I have lost faith, it has no vision, nor ideas and its outdated to what Malta needs to make it , the PN has had nearly 25 years and all we have got for it is debt, poverty and a PM that puts his head in the sand and all you see is an arse.
Joseph Xuereb
Jan 12th, 10:41
PN is best hope for jobs as a result of the high quality education which is free. PN is also hope for high quality health services which are free too. These issues and the good economic state will determine who will win the election. Moreover we will see in the coming days the concrete PN energy proposal for the future. People will realise in these 56 days that PN is the best choice. PN will win.

What jobs? My husband was laid off because of your false promises and now he is working part time with no privillages what so ever, no sick leave, no vacation leave, no boniuses and can be sent off any time his employer wants!!
Joseph Aquilina
Jan 12th, 10:46
@Joanna Mifsud
While sorry for your husband, fact is that thousands of more jobs (mostly in the IT and finance sectors) where created. The government managed (even through direct intervention when this was needed) to safeguard hundreads of jobs and at the same time create an environment where many new jobs could be generated.
Would lejber bring back the job of your husband? How?

Is he referring to the precarious ones which are forever on the increase?
What does he has to say about the new phenomenon which came into being under he reign - I'm referring to the working poor!
Of course there is best hope BUT to the blue eyed ones who were given a top notch job as executives WITHOUT a public call for application as promised by the same GonziPN in 2008!

Surely he's not refering to 'Dirghajn il-Maltin', 'Id-Dejma', 'izra u rabbi', 'kappar u bebbux', 'hawwel u saqqi', is there anything else? Do you consider Lufthansa, SR, Medavia, Aviation park, as precarious? Once, dear brincat, holding a mass meeting in Zejtun was 'predcarious'. Working at the Times; the Curia, the Law Courts, and living in Eddie's house were 'precarious! Remember?
Joseph Aquilina
Jan 12th, 10:47
It seems many have learnt a new word in Malta ... maybe by listening to Italian media I do not know! But fact is that many do not know the meaning of the word "precarious", Thousands of University students get a job signing a legal contract governed by state law! Give examples where there is precarious work! Not just mention the word!

Best hope for jobs...............just ask:-
Aimalta employees
SeaMalta employees
Taxi Drivers
Bus Drivers
Drydock workers
Graduates who cant find jobs
Textile factory workers...(Minister Gatt's favorite)
etc etc etc
Anthony Scicluna
Jan 12th, 10:12
Joseph, please be more critical. Drydocks and textiles industry fell prey to cheaper wages of China and Morocco. This is real world economics. And not GonziPN - read up on this. Also, do you want to keep Malta locked to low-level jobs of low level skills like textiles? What about the finance and the IT industry. Higher Value Added and more money left in the country.
Robert Agius
Jan 12th, 10:23
very shallow criticism Anthony considering that the EU leeches profit from imports outside the EU.
francis Buhagiar
Jan 12th, 10:32
Mr Scicluna do you know that in Europe ther are thousamds of textiles factories. Yesterday on RAI 1 Program a man who has a textiles factory that emploies some 600 emploees was nominated as one of the best sources to create jobs in Italy.
Joseph Arpa
Jan 12th, 11:15
PS:-
On a positive note Anthony, in Malta you find jobs with a €500.00 a week wage increase. Not for everybody, just the selected few. By chance did you ever read Animal Farm by George Orwell? Read up on this.
JL Deguara
Jan 12th, 09:57
Watched the video clip - nice words from Dr. Gonzi. It is true that we don't have graduates protesting for more and better jobs in our country. He was also surprised in Germany that graduates had to work with less pay and poorer conditions because they prefer to have a job at least, rather than no job in the area they studied for. I'm pretty sure this is happening in Malta too :(
Anthony Paris
Jan 12th, 09:54
As Gonzi said "PN is best hope" Hope for 5000 Smart City jobs, hope for income tax reductions, hope for a better future, hope for lower deficits, hope for ... So, as Gonzi and Simon gaze into the blue sky, they fill us with hope. They should make way for someone who can deliver.

Its the business people that create jobs not GonziPN. Indeed, bureaucracy is stifling the initiative of many business people all the time. Is it due to jealousy or something else? And then there is MEPA a creation of GonziPN ; waiting for years to get a very simple straight forward permit! Less bureaucracy more jobs!
Joseph Agius

How refreshing that there are some politicians who do not just repeat the words 'electricity bills' like parrots. It seems to some people that happiness = electricity bills, success= electricity bills, weather= electricity bills, jobs= electricity bills, health = electricity bills, education= electricity bills, environment= electricity bills. Electricity bills have hijacked this campaign.
Joseph Vassallo
Jan 12th, 09:28
PL has alsi been lying to the Maltese people since it announced its Energy Policies, on the Purchase Power Agreement:
FACT (With apologies to Konrad Mizzi): Power Purchase Agreements can be done for long periods;
Purchase Power Agreements used to be done with a fixed price for a period of 10 years;
Power Purchase Agreements are now done with a fixed price for a max of 3 years!
Google!
Joseph Vassallo
Jan 12th, 09:24
PL have lost the argument on its Energy Proposals:
PL has been lying to the Maltese people for the last five years, when it said that the electricity tariffs are amongst the highest in Europe.
FACT ( with apologies to Konrad Mizzi): In Europe they pay more per unit, because a tax is added to the price per unit; in Malta we have no tac added.
We have one of the lowest rates!
Mr Adrian Zahra
Jan 12th, 09:19
The old MLP of MIntoff gave the poor a future to look into but then wanted to shape that future itself rather than allowing the people their free choice and was evetually brought down.
The PN made enormous strides on the education front but its attitude in the last few years has been that of a team impermeated by groupthink treating the people as CWIEC. And this I believe will bring it down.

What about jobs for persons with special needs who are still capable of performing well if the newly created jobs are adjusted to their needs. This is a sector which was neglected, with most efforts catering for the needs of persons with severe disabilities.
This opinion emerged after various discussions I had with key persons from this admiistartion and who admitted certain shortcomings.

PN = JOBS
PN = learning opportunities for all age groups = Life Long Learning
PN = the opportunity to expand one's skills
MLP = controlling the opportunity to expand one's skills
MLP = restricting learning opportunities for all ages = Life Long Learning
MLP = Less JOBS
In this aspect PN retain ALL records.
MLP still lack behind

Jan 12th, 09:04
(1)Mr. Scerri, first and foremost it is you who is lacking behind, by your own admission--The Labour movement is PL not MLP...Ok let's talk about tourism for a while. Your PN claim that they have broken all records in the NUMBER of tourists visiting the Island. So they claim....since the disembarkation cards have been removed it will be very difficult to determine who is a tourist and who is not.
Frank Zammit
Jan 12th, 09:12
(2) The problem is that your presumed record in the number of tourism did not translate, in real terms, record profitability,on the contrary, and this is where the problem is. To reach this number, the minister of tourism, has to go for low cost tourists with the consequence that the demand on the infrastructure has increased for a lower return.

Frank Zammit
Jan 12th, 09:22
(3) The low cost market is so insecure that (A) one has to be very careful in what and how much to invest (B) by being dependent on the low cost tourist, Malta has been turned into A CHEAP DESTINATION thus making it very difficult to to generate quality tourists in WINTER. In other words after 25 years of PN rule, Malta still has the same problems it had in the 70's 80's and 90's.
Frank Zammit
Jan 12th, 09:36
(4) the problem is where do we go from here? There is really nowhere to go...this is rock bottom. If for any reason these low cost pull out, we are DOOMED. Why do I say so? Because Air Malta was FORCED TO SPONSOR the introduction of the low cost from its own resources with the consequence that the National Airline was drained dry and is now incapable of recovering lost ground.
JL Deguara
Jan 12th, 09:40
Did we have the two parties running the country at the same time for such comparison?
Can you please be more mature in your comments, and I'm asking this from both sides. Sadly, I'm pretty sure that from diehards I cannot expect much.
I'm going to judge the PN performance (only) in creating jobs, and what kind of jobs, in the last five years. Thank you very much!
Frank Zammit
Jan 12th, 09:46
(5) why did we go low cost? Because the minister of tourism was incapable of solving the problem. It was not a choice but a necessity. In 1987 the PN inherited a company that was making millions of Euros in profit and NOW, WHAT DO WE HAVE ? An Airline struggling to survive and a country in danger of losing the only reliable link it has with the rest of Europe and the world. Shame on you PN.
Joe M Borg

Deja vu. PL ALWAYS lag behind. They oppose everything PN do, ONLY to accept it later! Like: Local council; VAT (with dire consequences); EU; computers; Euro, 2013 budget; and now the pipeline. They prefer to have ships coming regularly, and storing gas in two BOMBS, than having a regular flow by the pipe. To say nothing of EU financing! Where is M'xlokk Local Council? Hibernating? :-(

The stipend would be extra. If they are students, they ALREADY have a stipend, which Sant changed into borrowing. If these young people have a job, they have their salary.
James Spiteri
Jan 12th, 10:02
The voluntary work stipend is something other than the academic stipend given in tertiary education. It is an additional stipend. From what the PN are staying, the academic stipend will not be altered.
This 'Voluntary work stipend' makes a lot of sense and conforms with practices throughout Europe.
John Bonello
Jan 12th, 06:16
PT5. if one take into consideration the reduction we will gain by the interconnector alone which is 7c/U not 2c6/U, do we have to be a new power plant, involve foreign investors involve shipping company to transport gas and in a few years after we would have a pipe line which will provide us with more flexibility and we can by gas from all over Europe without the risks involved in MLP proposal
John Bonello
Jan 12th, 06:12
PT4. do you want to risk all this on a mere 2c6 proposal which will cost our country an additional 600 million euros something JM does not want you to know about. something that is hiding from you, something which he is shy to publish for all to see, would you buy a product without you'll see if it works first or because the product claims it does work on the package???????
John Bonello
Jan 12th, 06:09
PT4. foreign investors who would be the one's who have total control on our power generation plant. do you want to risk all that you achieved for a mere 2c6/U when after all the time to build this power plant would take years and the MLP is not telling you the truth about it, we're investor would want you to put a guarantee for them with a new Tax and the MLP is not telling you the truth.
John Bonello
Jan 12th, 06:06
PT3. ask yourself is it worth it change direction, the same direction that took us out of recession and broke records in tourism & safe guarded 1000's of jobs and created many more, the huge investments in education, the best quality health service for a mere 2c6/U reduction which you'll end up paying many times more to sustain the investors losses, is it worth having u'r country dependable for
Mario Scicluna
Jan 12th, 06:06
Dr Gonzi, although wearing a vivid V neck to appear younger, more dynamic and vibrant(obviously staged) , I sincerely hope that you reminded them that on the eve of 2008 General Election you had decieved them and all by promising the fantasy of 7,000 IT jobs in SmartCity!! Perhaps they were too young to understand GonziPN's antics and continous 'teatrini' that has now become PN's trademark!
Leslie Borg
Jan 12th, 08:32
IT jobs at Smart City are still to come but employment levels remain high and university admissions are not tied to 'numeris clausus'. The majority of graduates have found stable work places. Trademarks are much to be desired but possibly you got it the wrong way round. Any sponsors for carnival costumes ? Let the battle of words get wild but as yet contolled
Joseph Vassallo
Jan 12th, 09:17
Irrelevant!
We still have one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, and in the midst of a recession!
Joe M Borg
Jan 12th, 09:54
Mario, Smart City has started to take shape. Do you expect a city to be built overnight. It has started, and durin l-Istrina, they donated 100,000. 'Nothing' cannot donate that sum. Those who are 'too young', cannot understand that way back in the 70's and 80's we had the tal-Barrani 'street party'; Rabat 'fireworks display'; no chocolate, no polithecnic; and Curia, law courts etc attacks.
John Bonello
Jan 12th, 06:03
PT2. why should I risk what we achieved for a mere reduction of further 2c6/U, as it stand s now we are paying 18c/U, with the interconnector which the PN government invested in the rate will be reduced to 11c/U, that's 7c/U reduction, with MLP proposal @370 million euro the final rate would be 9c6/U an additional 2c6/U with all the risks and all the gimmicks involved in their proposal.
John Bonello
Jan 12th, 06:00
Correct and I am proud when I go to work abroad to tell my work colleagues, how well we're doing back home, we survived the recession because we had a par idejn soddi at the helm, not a party full of gimmick. we had a party that all though it made mistakes it managed to create thousands of jobs and safe guard many other & I for that alone will secure my vote to the PN government for better future
Anthony Neil Pace
Jan 12th, 03:12
Um, Gonzi, Where is Smart City? is it somewhere underneath the pile of bulldozed rubble that covered in SmartCity signs?
Stop bluffing. There isn't any work at all in the IT industry for fresh IT students like myself.
You should be ashamed of making promises like that, and completely cover it up when it fails.
Joe M Borg
Jan 12th, 09:56
Anthony. Smart City DONATED 100,000 to Strina. 'Nothing' cannot donate anything! Building a whole city takes time. Don't forget that PL tried to block that developement! If it hadn't been for YOUR PL, it would be more advanced. But, according to Sant, it was only 'land speculation'. Thanks to PN, it WILL grow. Switch off Onetv sometimes!

Vera ma jafx x'qed jghid. Thawwad wahda sew Dr L. Gonzi. Mela il-cifrii tal-qghad mhux qed jarahom li qed jizdiedu minn xahar ghall-iehor.
Jista' jghid fejn huma l-impiegi ghal dawk tal-fuq minn 45 sena. Idur wahda fejn isir irregistrar u jkun jaf kemm sab impiegi ghal dawn l-imsejkna, li hafna minnhom huma genituri.
Dejjem johrog b'xi wahda gdida li qed tkompli twittielu t-triq ghal tkaxkira.

You can check for YOURSELF the figures, if you go at ETC. Watching Onetv, you cannot expect to get these figures! You forget that under PN, several schemes came into being for those who are over 40. Also thanks to EU funding, many over 40 managed to find a job. An EU, remember, that YOUR Joseph and Tony Zarb told us is not good for us.

Best hope for jobs my foot Dear Gonzi! Is your track record in jobs based on the 7,000 ghost jobs created in GhostCity / SmartCity? Are you including the hundreds of jobs created by Oderbrecht when it relocated the international headquarters from Brazil to Malta and which wasn't found anywhere? Isthi Gonzi jekk taf!!

Close but not really!
Smart City is only a tiny piece of the impressive work themed collage delivered by PN over the last 25 years (excluding the 22 tax months of your masters)
It’s mainly based on the PN being a political party that provides opportunities against a socialist party that is the antitheses of that
Oh my God I'm sure I lost you there. Hares lejja, never mind it's beyond you.

YOU KNOW that Smart City has started to take shape, if YOU are sincere. If not, WHO gave the 100,000 to Strina? Thousands of people went to give their donation for Strina AT SMART CITY. Only those who watch Onetv ONLY didn't find where it is! 7,000 Smart jobs are better than the 8,000 KMB jobs, aren't they? Under PN, 8,000 women found a new job. Isthi Joseph, jekk taf!

Ara ma tghidx li int xi 'ex-PN' ta! Din xi tattika ohra tal PL li huma kollha ex-PN halli jingannaw lill floaters li kulhadd qieghed imur mal-PL.
Qas li ma tidhirx li Laburist mill-iktar akkaniti! U tip ta Laburist li jhobb JM: wiehed li joghgbu kull ma jghid bla ma jsaqsi xejn.
Jien li jghid Dr Gonzi wkoll nanalizzah mhux imbilli nzomm mieghu! Hemm affarijiet li ma naqbilx dwarhom ukoll!
