Repubblika’s plight for justice to be served against corrupt individuals will continue with what it is describing as a national protest in front of the Prime Minister’s office in Valletta on Friday.

The NGO is holding a three-day sit-in in front of the Police headquarters to protest against lack of action taken by Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa former Minister Konrad Mizzi.

The end of the sit-in will be followed by the protest.

Addressing the media on Thursday afternoon, Aquilina stated that the end of the three day sit-in is not the end of the protest against the mentality of impunity which is being allowed to function by police commissioner Angelo Gafa and Prime Minister Robert Abela.

Repubblika also said that the only thing it wants is “to allow our democracy to function. If this was happening we wouldn’t be here. We want a country where the justice system does not look at the faces people but rather award the good and not the bad.”

“We are sure that the majority of the Maltese population agrees with what we want for our country. We are also sure that the Maltese are fed up of the situation were public officials are serving corrupt individuals, criminals and assassins instead of the public.”

Aquilina then announced that on Friday the protest would move in front of Castille which coincides with the three-month anniversary of the publication of the public inquiry of Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination.

During the protest on Friday, Repubblika will be bringing to light the fact that three months after the recommendations of the public inquiry were published, nothing has been done from the government’s side.

“After the inquiry found the state part responsible for Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination due to the mentality of impunity, Robert Abela has yet to act on the decisions put forward. Abela clearly does not want to change the direction this country is heading to and it is not acceptable that we still have ‘untouchables’ in this country.”

Aquilina also stressed on the lack of action by the relevant authorities on the Panama Papers revelations which occurred six years ago. “The police have yet to bring forward a single individual implicated in the Panama Papers. This is not acceptable as the protagonists in these corruption scandals are always the same and nothing is being done.”

Rapubblika claims that Abela also has his share of the blame for protecting these corrupt individuals through his silence and inaction. “We gave Robert Abela the time needed to enact change and we warned him that if he does not take action we will.”
