AD: Respect the majority of Maltese citizens; stop spring hunting immediately

The European Commission has just issued the final warning to the Maltese government regarding hunting in Spring. Failure to comply immediately by the Maltese Government will mean millions of euro fines to be paid not by the Lawrence Gonzi, Simon Busuttil or David Casa but by all Maltese tax payers.

Alternattiva Demokratika has always warned that this would happen. Whenever it tried to stop Spring hunting it was ignored by the Maltese government. When its representative in Brussels at the time, Arnold Cassola, brought up the issue with the EU Commission, he was branded as a traitor of the Maltese not only by the PN officials but by the government itself, that issued a Press Release through DOI in this sense.

Arnold Cassola said, “We must thank MEPs David Casa and Simon Busuttil in particular for this wonderful gift of heavy monetary fines which they have given all Maltese and Gozitans.” Busuttil and Casa have self-declaredly always been on the forefront, putting pressure on the EU in favour of Spring hunting. We are now reaping the results of their irresponsible action”, concluded Cassola.

Ralph Cassar, AD spokesperson on Energy and the Environment, said that the government must immediately declare hunting in Spring illegal once and forever if we want to avoid burdening the Maltese and Gozitan citizens with the heavy fines which, otherwise, the EU will shower us with. “The countryside and wildlife belong to us all, hunting in spring must be stopped immediately. Only AD in parliament will tackle this issue head on, the other parties will continue taking the majority of the Maltese for a ride.”
