During a political activity in Gżira themed Together, for our country, the Leader of the Opposition Adrian Delia said that: “this Socialist Government is not bothering about Maltese and Gozitan families and has no decency because it’s only focused on retaining its power.”
Adrian Delia also said that this Socialist Government does not even care about what is just and seriously fighting corruption. This even though the Greco report condemned this Socialist Government which is threatening democracy, taking over institutions and ruining the country’s reputation. The Greco report clearly concludes that whilst institutions do exist, following a number of allegations regarding the integrity of senior government officials, the effectivity of these institutions is questionable. The experts quoted in the Greco report said that the Opposition is correct to say that whilst there are the necessary laws, they are not being enforced. Delia also said that despite all of this, the Prime Minister is shocked that foreign institutions do not believe the Government, and Minister Helena Dalli tried to shift the blame of the outcome of the report on the Opposition.
Adrian Delia said that the PN will continue to fight corruption with a strong voice. This is why he tabled a motion in Parliament to immediately set up a Parliamentary committee to scruitize the Greco Report and the recommendations of the Venice Commission and then recommend how these reports should be implemented. The Greco report confirms what the PN has said: condemning this Socialist Government that took over the institutions which are supposed to safeguard the country’s laws.
The Leader of the Opposition Adrian Delia, said that whilst this Socialist Government does not care, the Prime Minister will leave and Minister Konrad Mizzi will not shoulder responsibility. Minister Mizzi remains the only Minister from an EU country mentioned in the Panama Papers, and yet, would like to become Malta’s next Prime Minister. In the meantime, the people of Malta and Gozo continue to pay the €725 million price tag for corruption. Delia said that, if corruption were not so widespread, the elderly will struggle less to make ends meet at the end of the month, less people will be waiting for social housing, and our youths would not be struggling with precarious employment.
Adrian Delia said that in May, the public has an opportunity to warn this Socialist Government that it needs to change its path, not to continue ruining the country and that Malta needs to get back to get back on track and protect its democracy.
