Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has "ignored" protesters camped right outside his office in Castille, the protesters themselves said in a letter.

In the wake of the assassination of the journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, the Occupy Justice activists last Thursday set up camp right outside Castille, "both in a show of solidarity with the Caruana Galizia family, and also to demand the resignation of the Police Commissioner Lawrence Cutajar and the Attorney General Peter Grech."

"We are insisting that both positions should be replaced by non-divisive, competent persons approved by at least two-thirds House majority. Our key institutions cannot be held hostage by any Government. The institutions must be, and importantly also be seen to be, independent and upholding of the rule of law," protesters said in the letter.

"The least we expect from our elected Prime Minister, as citizens of this country, is an acknowledgement of our presence and demands. It is expected that in a functioning democracy its elected representatives are open to dialogue."

"Even though so far you have decided to ignore us, we will continue to fight for what is right, both for justice as well as for a fairer and equal society. This is our nation. This is our home. And we are the people."

"We expect better. We deserve better. We demand better."

Many people and companies have gone down to the square and have given the protesters food, so much so that they had excess, which they have donated to the Food Bank and to Dar Merhba Bik - Daphne Caruana Galizia's charity of choice.

Earlier today, Former Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi had gone down to meet the protesters, and so did PN MEP David Casa.

Representatives of the protesters had also met with the President of Malta.

Some protesters were seen turning the bay leaves into laurels which they wore on their heads.
