Yesterday, at the Labour Party’s Annual General Conference, Deputy Party Leader, Alex Agius Saliba, gave a very divisive speech, spending most of his discourse attacking the Opposition. After attacking the Nationalist Party, Alex Agius Saliba began referring to the environmental groups currently opposing Labour’s proposed planning bills without making a distinction from the former. He attacked the protesters and implied they are Nationalists for organising a protest tomorrow outside Parliament during the Finance Minister’s budget speech.
You can listen to his speech here.
The Labour Party has been stepping up its attacks against environmentalists as it forces through its proposed planning reforms described by environmentalists as the most corrupt planning reform in history.
The other Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ian Borg, struck a very different, saying that the Labour government is working for all Maltese and not just Labourites. You can listen to his speech here.
The Prime Minister is expected to make his closing speech at the conference soon.
Meanwhile, more resignations took place in the Labour Party earleir this month which have went unreported by the press. Manolita Camilleri, a previous delegate with environmental and socialist views with the local party committee of Żejtun, resigned from her post earlier this month.
