‘Kullħadd Għall-Belt’: Bernard Grech Announces Protest For 9th March
Opposition Leader Bernard Grech has announced an anti-government protest outside Parliament on Sunday 9th March.
It is set to be a widespread protest against the “government’s failures”, including the theft of cannabis from an AFM barracks, the proposed magisterial inquiry reform, rising cost of living, traffic, and the Vitals scandal.
“This government has backed itself into a corner and it cannot even remove a minister who has placed the security of his own people at risk,” Grech said.
“The Prime Minister has forced his ministers to bow to Byron Camilleri’s incompetence, and he will now have to bow to every future mistake they make, just as he did when he forced them to bow their heads in the disgraceful vote against Jean Paul Sofia’s mother’s request for an inquiry.
“This week, Robert Abela once again chose those who failed you. Instead of prioritising your safety and that of your children, he chose to protect his own interests.”
“This is a Government that is exhausted. A Government that, after 12 years of scandals, has nowhere left to turn. A corrupt and crumbling Government. A tired Government with no ideas. A Government unable to provide direction because it is lost in its own chaos.”
“Last June, the people started sending their message to the Government. They told it to change course. But this Government has buried its head in the sand. It cannot and will not change the downward path it has taken.”
“Only the people can change the direction of this country.”
“The people want change. And the Partit Nazzjonalista is responding to the people’s call. It is ready to be there to give this country the fresh start it desperately needs after a tired and directionless Government.”
