‘MinisTree Of Justice’ Planted Outside Castille Bearing Fruit For The Prime Minister
Pressure group Occupy Justice have planted a ‘Ministree of Justice’ in place of a recently cut-down tree adorned with messages to the Prime Minister and comments on the current state of Malta. The group said the tree was planted to mark the eight months since the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
“The roots of evil are all we are left with. Our message this month is simple: Muscat, Schembri and Mizzi, why don’t you all make like a tree and leave? The Prime Minister can see this tree every day from his office window and maybe it will be a reminder that his Chief of Staff Keith Schembri and his top Minister Konrad Mizzi set up a money laundering structure in order to receive illicit kickbacks, and he is protecting them from the very place which should impede these things – Castille – because he clearly has vested interest,” OccupyJustice said.
The activists said that since Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination, Malta’s reputation had been spiralling down the drain.
“Only this week we’ve seen EU Commissioner speak of possible infringement procedures against Malta. We’ve seen how the Athens court has effectively decreed that Malta is unsafe for whistle-blower Maria Efimova and, therefore for whoever dares to speak out against Joseph Muscat. But clearly there was no interest in the country’s reputation but only in money pocketed,” they said.
There was some unique ‘fruit’ hanging from the tree’s branches
The planting of the ‘ministree’ comes just hours after cardboard cutouts of Konrad Mizzi, Chris Cardona and Keith Schembri were seen around the island, including in front of Castille in Valletta.
