Press Release - 12/09/09 - 'Income tax amnesty : Government rewarding bad practices' - Zminijietna
Zmiinijietna - Voice of the Left said that it agrees with certain aspects of Renzo Piano's plans for Valletta, whilst it disagrees with others.
'We welcome the fact that the entrance to Valletta shall be regenerated. Government investment for these plans will generate employment and upgrade the area. Zminijietna supports such forms of public investment'.
'The theatre should be accessible to various forms of cultures and arts, and not restricted to cultural elites, as is the case with St James Cavallier, which is characterised by restrictive prices for performers and organisers'.
'Zminijietna agrees with the bulk of proposals by Renzo Piano. However we strongly disagree with the idea to construct Parliament on an open space, thus resulting in the elimination of a public square, which are already lacking in Valletta. On the other hand we agree that parking spaces in Freedom Square are removed, thus resulting in complete pedestrianization of the area. At the same time, traffic management should also be taken in consideration’.
'Zminijienta is also disappointed that the proposal to have a public library has been dropped'.
'Public space is essential for everyday democracy', concluded Zminijietna Voice of the Left.

Press Release - 18/09/09 - Zminijietna disappointed with Maltese MEPs votes on Barroso
Zminijietna – Voice of the Left expressed its disappointment with the votes of Maltese MEPs on the reappointment of Barroso as President of the European Commission.
‘The Barroso Presidency had an important role for the EU’s direction towards neoliberal policies of increased inequality, privatization, dismantling of public services, inferior work conditions, precarious jobs and lack of clear will in environmental policies’.
‘Zminijietna was expecting the Socialist and Democratic group to support the Green and United Left groups against Barroso. Therefore, whilst we do not agree with the Maltese Nationalist MEPs position in favour of Barroso, we are disappointed with the lack of courage shown by Maltese Labour MEPs, who chose to abstain on such an important matter for a social and ecological Europe ’.
