Repubblika Announces Protest March Against Corruption In Valletta For Next Tuesday
NGO Repubblika has called an anti-corruption protest in Valletta for next Tuesday evening.
The NGO announced the direct action after TheShiftNews published an agreement in which the government pledged to act as a guarantor for any debts incurred by Electrogas, the consortium behind the LNG power station.
“Day after day, Maltese and Gozitans learn about new facts involving corruption. Despite this, impunity still reigns supreme. A class of politicians and their cronies are considered untouchable by certain sectors of our institutions,” Repubblika said.
“This is totally unacceptable. We refuse to tolerate the fact that in our country, a certain class of people continues to be considered as above the law. We refuse to listen to any more empty chatter. We demand action.”
“The Police Corps and the Attorney General’s Office are still instruments of impunity for politicians and their cronies, just as they were when they were led by Lawrence Cutajar and Peter Grech.
“Angelo Gafà and Victoria Buttigieg have gone so far as to refuse to take any action against the Pilatus Bank clique, despite the fact that they were ordered to do so by the Inquiring Magistrate.”
“This morning, Maltese and Gozitans learned of new facts which explain the circumstances by which Joseph Muscat and Konrad Mizzi burdened the Maltese people with a corrupt Electrogas contract.”
