Labour MP Marlene Farrugia has questioned the agreement Malta will be signing with China this week, asking what the government is committing the nation to in the memorandum of understanding that will include arrangements on health and air services.

Writing in The Malta Independent today, the MP says: '”What has this Government actually committed us to? What is it committing us to in the Memorandum of Understanding that is going to be signed next week in China that involves Health and Air Services among other things? Is the placation of Pawlu Pace (MUMN) by the government a necessary move to freely pave the way so that what is being done to Enemalta is doubled onto MDH  and HealthWorkers , as the PM hinted in one of his pre MEP election speeches'?

It’s really not a question of being judgemental because we don't know what to judge. It’s just a case where people were promised transparency and collective governance, and are now claiming what they were promised. They /we just need to know the answers to these questions, after all as Ghandi liked to say: 'Truth never damages a cause that is just'.”

Dr Farrugia also asks why the GWU is silent on what is happening. “It is very strange how the vociferous GWU, up till recently so adamant about shifts and collective agreements, has suddenly lost its voice, just when Enemalta workers need it most. Could it possibly be in the Government's pockets?”
