PN Warns Labour Government Is ‘The Biggest Obstacle To Justice’

The Nationalist Party has hit out at the government and Prime Minister Robert Abela after Yorgen Fenech was granted bail today.

In a statement signed by PN MP Karol Aquilina, the PN said that the government “has failed justice in our country in a significant way, particularly the family of the assassinated journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.”

Aquilina stressed that the responsibility for today’s development doesn’t lie with the courts but with Abela and Justice Minister Jonathan Attard, “who have done absolutely nothing to prevent this situation”.

“Therefore, for the Partit Nazzjonalista, it is evident, now more than ever, that the Labour Government is the biggest obstacle to justice in our country,” he said.

“For the Partit Nazzjonalista, it is unacceptable that the relatives of victims of homicides and other serious crimes are subjected to ordeal after ordeal in their quest to obtain the justice they are entitled to.”

“Consequently, the Partit Nazzjonalista expresses its full solidarity with the Caruana Galizia family and the relatives of other victims who are enduring the same ordeal due to the Government’s foot-dragging.”

“The Partit Nazzjonalista believes in the principle that ‘justice delayed is justice denied’ and promises all the relatives of victims of homicides and serious crimes that, if entrusted with the responsibility, it will implement all the necessary reforms to ensure that justice in our country is delivered, and delivered promptly.”
