“It is scandalous and abusive the way that Romano Cassar, from the NGO Ramblers Association of Malta, did not have his appointment renewed by the Planning Minister Clint Camilleri on the Planning Authority´s Planning Board as a representative of environmental NGOs.”
This was stated by Sandra Gauci, Chairperson of ADPD-The Green Party.
She claimed that “the clear message being given by Minister Clint Camilleri and Castille is that you have to vote a certain way or they will punish you.”
“We recall that Cassar had condemned what happened recently in the case of the sanctioning of Montekristo and it seems that he paid a price for this,” said Gauci.
Sandra Gauci concluded by saying that, “this is not the behavior of a government of a democratic country and Cassar should be reinstated. The representatives of the NGOs are chosen by the NGOs, not the Minister.”
