PN Leader Adrian Delia this evening called for an end to the culture of silence under the current administration, after the government rejected his calls for a ministerial statement in Parliament following the allegations that Minister Chris Cardona had frequented the same bar as one of the accused in the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, and was seen chatting with him on one night.

"No Speaker, no Parliament, will silence the opposition from asking the pertinent questions," Delia said.

Delia also added that he expected the Prime Minister to hand over his laptop and server to the police as part of the investigation into the assasination.

While stressing that the Opposition was not speculating, but was seeking urgent answers from the government, Delia described the latest revelations as the latest chapter in this story.

"There are new developments, new questions, which the opposition and the public have the right to know the answers to, was the PM informed about the revelations? If so, why did he remain silent? If not, why was he not informed."

Referring to the marketing employed by the government as an 'illusion', Delia criticised the culture of silence under the current administration.

"We ask parliamentary questions about Pilatus Bank, the FIAU, Ali Sadr, and the links the government has to all these suspicious characters. Instead, the government comes out with proposals to deflect from the situation, like with the murder of embryos.

"Resignations do not exist in the country, and the government continuously refuses to take responsibility," he said.

He went on to say that the Opposition will be the voice for those who are calling for justice in the country.
