Jimmy for Europe

Jimmy Magro, former MLP secretary general is so keen to leave Malta behind him that he has sat for an exam to become a functionary with the European Union. Each member state has a quota for officers who may be employed with the commission. The former vociferous critic of the European Union changed tack on the EU soon after the national election but failed to gain enough support to get a place on the party executive and worse still as a candidate for the Labour party in next June’s European elections. In the past the Labour party criticised the pro-EU movement for striving for European accession because it would translate into jobs for the boys.
