Alternattiva Demokratika Secretary General Explains Why ‘The System Is Fucked Up’

Alternattiva Demokratika Secretary-General Ralph Cassar has said “the system is fucked” in a critique of some members of ‘For Our Trees’, the new Facebook forum for tree activists.

“Some people on the ‘For Our Trees’ Facebook page [are] commenting and moaning about pollution and in the same breath dissing wind farms in Kenya and Scotland,” he said. “Others [are] forgetting how we got to this point with traffic in the first place and moaning about how other people vote, without mentioning how their vote meant no action for years on end and a development frenzy with two million metres squared of land declared as developable.”

“Our system is fucked up because of people like these, they never admit any responsibility for their actions, it’s always “the others'” fault. Facepalm!”

Ralph Cassar was until recently the AD’s only representative on a local level, serving as Attard councillor, but he failed to get re-elected in last May’s election, with the PL taking his seat. Transport Minister Ian Borg has suggested this could be because Attard had opposed the controversial Central Link road upgrade project, while all PL candidates had backed it.
