Despite all the time he has spent in the European Parliament, Joseph Cuschieri (above) simply has no idea how it works, Nationalist MEPs said.
Labour MEP Joseph Cuschieri is attempting to stop Nationalist Party MEPs from speaking in a European Parliament debate on irregular immigration in the Mediterranean this week, Roberta Metsola and David Casa said.
The two Nationalist MEPs said that the head of Labour Party MEP delegation, Joseph Cuschieri "appears to have a different agenda to that of his political master, Joseph Muscat, who has pleaded without success for the immigration issue to be put on the European Agenda."
In a joint statement the two MEPs said that Cuschieri should know that this debate was called for in summer after Italian MEPs, supported by their Maltese counterparts in the European People's Party, insisted that the issue of irregular immigration in the Mediterranean was a European issue and that the Member States in the region should not be left to deal with this major issue alone.
Metsola and Casa added that the horrific tragedy in Lampedusa has shown how urgent EU action is required to handle this humanitarian crisis and save lives at sea and no one, least of all Joseph Cuschieri, will bar them from talking about the issue.
"Like Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, the Head of the Labour MEPs is trying, and failing, to score undignified, cheap political points after a tragedy which saw the loss of so many innocent lives," they said.
The PN MEPs invited Cuschieri to sit down and discuss the way forward on this important issue "away from the misinformation, hysterics and threats of illegal pushbacks. It is regrettable that Joseph Cushieri has not yet learnt that by being divisive he does not make any progress and solves nothing."
"Enough damage has been done to Malta's reputation by Joseph Muscat and MEP Cuschieri on this issue. Misinformed statements will get us nowhere," the MEPs said.
It was surprising that Joseph Cuschieri had only just realised that the issue was going to be discussed seeing that this was decided a month ago, they added.
"Perhaps if Joseph Cuschieri had been paying attention and doing his job he would have realised that this debate has been on the cards for a long time and will be done with cross-party support. It is clear that despite all the time he has spent in the European Parliament, Joseph Cuschieri simply has no idea how it works."

Habib sa fejn naf jiena J,M, ma semmiex push back. Din issemmiet mill P.N. Meta saru l- Push Backs, E.F.A. baghat emigranti lura l-Eritrea. Dawn kiof waslu gew milquhin bil-fjuri. Staqsi xi suldat lio akkumpanahom. L.G. baghat lura wkoll u kien kburi li ghamel hekk. Nigu ghal Pajjiz iehor. Franza ghada kif kecciet ir'Roma Prople' (Zingari)u qerdet il-kampijiet fejn kienu jghixu Dan x'hinu siehbi? jew dawn mhux nies. Zmien hilu meta nfethet il-mina taht l-English Channel, Franza trasferit Kamp ta dawn l-Emigranti qrib din il-mina b'sigurta laxka ghal kollox. L-Ingilterra oggezjonat, Biss Franza qalet li qeda tiehu hsiebhom sew. Immagina Malta taghmel kamp hdejn bajja u tpoggi lanec f'din il-bajja maghmrin lesti biex isalpaw b'sigurta ta kafkaf. X'jgidu it-Tajani u nahseb li anke tal P.N.?
Dwar Casa nahseb li taf xx-ghamel fil-Parlament Ewropew, nahseb li beda record gdid ta MEP jitlob li l-istess Parlament jikkundana lill Pajjizu. Bizzejjed jew trid iktar, jekk tistaqsi lilhu jghidlhek x'kienet ir-reazzjoni ta whud minnhom

Il-Maltin ghadnhom jivvotaw ghal dawl fl-elezzjoni ewropeja li jiehdu hsieb l-interessi taghhom. Kulhadd jifhem din kif irid. Il-vot tieghi u Malta tieghi u mhux tal-barrnain.

SDiehbi El Kajboj. Il-Prim Ministru ma bediex uisabbat saqajh, ghamel mossa u jekk ma rnexxietulux ghalkollox irnexxietlu bicca sew. Ma kellux skop li jibghathom.Sar qbil ma l-Italja li qabel ma kienx jezisti. Caqlaq lill=-Unjoni Ewropeja u dawn qedin juru x-unjoni huma ghax jigu jaqu u jqumu minnha sa issa. il-quddiem wiehed irid jara. Push backs saru minn EFA u LG. tghidlix li ma tafx bihom. Dwar Casa taf Malta kollha ionti biss ma tafx ligo Brussels fil-Parlament mar ixxerred petizzjonijiet kontra Malta ebda membru ta pajjiz iehor ma waqa fil baxx daqsu. Jipprova jimmina l-gvern legittimu ta pajjizu ghax inzerta li f-pajjizu il-Partit li jaqbel mieghu u sab ruihu fl-Oppozizzjoni. Fejn jidhol pajjizhom ikunu qaqocca. Dwar jekk intqalux xi kummenti staqsi lilhu, hu kien hemm. Tislijiet siehecb

Ghaziz Cikk, ha nghidlek xi hsara ghamel il-Lijder! Il-Lijder beda jsabbat saqajh biex jaghmel minn kollox biex jerbah punti politici izda l-QRATI MONDJALI qalulu li jrid izomm lill-immigranti la waslu xtutna! Dik hija hsara lill-pajjiz nahseb jien ax kull gazzetta li rrapurtat fuqna minn barra minn xtutna pingietu bhala tifel fi skola primarja. Ara meta ghamel l-affarijiet kif suppost meta kien gej dak il-vapur mil-Libja!! Emmekk inghata ragun kemm mill-poplu(li kien kollu warajh fuq dik il-haga) u kemm mill-qrati li ma geluniex indahluhom la kienu ghadhom f'ibhra Libjani. Issa dwar li qed jaghmel Cuschieri ma nafx u li ghamel Casa ma nafx l-anqas, imma jekk ghandek xi evidenza aqsam maghna :)

ma hinix sejjer nikkumenta fuq x'hinu jkaghmel Joseph Cuschieri, ghax qabel irrid nisma l-qanpiena tieghu. Nitkellem dwear l-hekk imsejha hsara li ghamel il-Prim Ministru. Xi provi ghandkhom. Ara jiena ghandio provi ta li se nghid Casa qaghad idur lill membri Parlamentari biex jopprova jhammeg lill Malta biex minn ghalih jiehi xi vantagg politiku. Se nistaqsih wahda biss milli naf. Sema membru Parlamentari Ewropew jghid shame on you? nahseb li bizzejjed. Lill Metsola nghidilha taghllem ftit qabel ma tibda taghti lezzjonijiet jew tikkritika ghax inkella il quddiem jiddispjacik

Kemm huma arroganti u ndanati dawn in-nazzjonalist. Vera kienu ghamlu Malta taghhom u ma jistghux inizluha li Malta hi taghhna lkoll. Arroganti u pastazi u jahsbu li jafu kollox u hlief dejn, droga, korruzzjoni u dwejjaq ma gabux fuq il-poplu Malti.
