Activists from Occupy Justice last night affixed protest posters on the doors of a number of ministries, saying that the “criminal gang” must be reminded of that this is not a normal Christmas. Activists also put coal on the doorstep.

Christmas might be a time of celebration for many, but it is also a time of reflection, a time to contemplate the constitutional crisis that Malta is currently going through, Occupy Justice said in a statement.
It said it ‘commemorated’ Christmas by leaving a Yuletide symbol at the doorsteps of the Ministries for Finance, Home Affairs, Justice, Tourism, Economy, Health, Foreign Affairs, and the office of the soon-to-be-ex-Prime Minister.

As civil society activists, we do not have the authority to serve justice to those who have failed the people of Malta, but we do have a voice, and we use it to remind the criminal gang that has hijacked our institutions of their shortcomings.

The coal left on the doorsteps of the Ministries above, together with a list of some of the scandals that have plagued the Maltese islands over the past six and a half years, are symbolic of the just retribution due to those who committed these crimes against their own people.

#occupyjustice want to remind Joseph Muscat and his cronies that our fight for truth and justice continues, even during the Christmas season, and that we will carry on. The “festive” season does not in any way diminish, but rather, it highlights the shocking revelations of justice denied that have been unfolding over the past few weeks.

“Your business-as-usual attitude will not make us forget the endless list of crimes that you are so desperate to cover up. While you go about your day-to-day activities, our institutions continue to fail us spectacularly, and this is only made possible because of the level of impunity with which those concerned are allowed to operate,” say the activists.

“There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.” Daphne Caruana Galizia’s final words continue to ring true.

This is our protest, because we long for normality to reign in our beloved Malta. We will not stop until the whole truth is uncovered, and until every single person involved in Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination is brought to justice.

This is our nation, this is our home, and we are the people. We expect better, we deserve better, we demand better.
