Last week MCESD met the Opposition at the PN headquarters and
the meeting discussed a variety of issues. Amongst others the opposition
expressed its concerns on the increase in unemployed. Opposition leader Simon
Busuttil emphasized that it is essential that new jobs are created and the
unemployment level is decreased. The Opposition leader also referred to the
increase in Government debt and asked social partners to analyze this issue.
During the meeting a number of MEP candidates on the
PN ticket were present and GRTU President Paul Abela said that GRTU expects to see
an increased level of communication with the newly elected MEPs. He said that
the new MEPs should continue insisting on the advancement of policies such as
the Small Business Act and argue in favour of the think small first and against
a one size fits all approach.
