Jekk “l-onestà, il-ġustizzja, is-sens tad-dmir u t-trasparenza huma pilastri essenzjali ta’ soċjetà ċivilment avvanzata” (il-Papa Franġisku f’Malta fis diskors lill-Awtoritajiet, lis-Soċjetà ċivili, u lill-Korp Diplomatiku), kif sejra Malta f’dan il-qasam? Filwaqt li kulħadd donnu jaqbel li Malta jeħtieġ li tħaddan dawn il-prinċipji ta’ governanza tajba, in-nuqqas ta’ fiduċja u ċ-ċiniżmu li n-nies juru lejn dak kollu li hu politiku qed jiżdied b’rata allarmanti.

Wara li jintebħu bir-rigali li rċevew, il-parteċipanti żgħażagħ jiġu wkoll mistiedna jagħmlu differenza pożittiva fil-ħajja tal-oħrajn billi jikkommettu ruħhom li jgħixu t-twemmin tagħhom fis-soċjetà… Kompli aqra »
L-abdikazzjoni kontinwa tal-gvern mir-responsabbiltajiet ta’ tfittxija u salvataġġ qed tikkontribwixxi għall-imwiet fil-Mediterran
Aktar minn 1,300 persuna mietu jew għebu fiċ-Ċentru tal-Mediterran fl-2022. Dawn in-nies – irġiel, nisa, tfal, ulied – jistgħu jiżdiedu man-numru ta’ mwiet deplorevoli ta’ aktar minn 25,000 persuna li mietu waqt li kienu qed jaqsmu l-Mediterran mill-2014 ‘l hawn[1].
In-nuqqas kontinwu tal-gvern Malti li jżomm ir-responsabbiltajiet tiegħu ta’ tfittxija u salvataġġ (SAR) jikkontribwixxi għal dan in-numru ta’ mwiet billi jpoġġi l-ħajjiet f’riskju… Kompli aqra »

In this context, as a Commission, we make ours the words of the Holy Father who, whilst in Malta, highlighted the need to shore up the foundations of life in society, namely honesty, justice, a sense of duty and transparency… Kompli aqra »
Il-Kummissjoni Ġustizzja u Paċi tagħraf li l-Baġit 2023 ġie kkundizzjonat minn bosta kriżijiet.
