Although the Prime Minister has publicly promised a vague 'discussion on divorce' without any timeframe for the discussion to start, Malta has still decided to sit on the fence in recent EU discussions on 'enhanced-cooperation' about the issue.
Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson Prof. Arnold Cassola said, "The Government should stop waffling and being inconsistent about the issue, as Justice and Internal Affairs Minister Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici seemed to be in Brussels on Friday."
"Alternattiva Demokratika has always been clear on the subject. As a party we believe that adults should be treated as such and, if they so wish, they should have recourse to divorce in our country. The Nationalist Party is in a state of confusion on the issue, with different branches of the party and government ministers contradicting each other," added Prof. Cassola.
Arnold Cassola concluded, "The Labour Party cannot keep sitting on the fence either - it has the power to immediately propose a divorce bill in parliament. It does not need to wait to be in government to do it. We at AD will support any such move."
