Palumbo's threats and indimidation of civic minded Senglea residents is despicable and unacceptable, Alternattiva Demokratika said in a statement today. 

Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson Arnold Cassola:"On behalf of Alternattiva Demokratika, I express my solidarity with Anna Spiteri and Senglea residents who have been threatened by the bullies at Palumbo shipyards for exercising their civic rights.

"The bullies at Palumbo seem to think that people should just accept whatever they do. Palumbo are showing that they couldn't care less about residents and have no inkling of the concept of corporate social responsibility. Instead of trying to find a solutions and accepting that they should change certain practices in respect of their neighbours, Palumbo have sunk low and resorted to bullying."
