Alternattiva Demokratika has said that it fully supports the stand taken by Prime Minister Gonzi on the Libyan crisis.

Prof. Arnold Cassola, Alternattiva Demokratika Spokesperson on EU and International Affairs, said, “The Prime Minister is totally correct in telling the Libyan regime representatives that this was not a matter of mediation and that Colonel Gaddafi had to listen to the wishes of the Libyan people.”

Prof. Cassola added, “Gaddafi’s son Saif has yesterday re-affirmed that the time has come for full-scale military action against Libyan rebels, against whom no mercy will be shown. Malta, the EU and the civilised world should never deal with deranged criminals of this kind, who are ready to exterminate their own people.”

AD Chairperson Michael Briguglio added, “Malta, the EU and the UN should side with the people of Libya against their internal oppressor. The international community should resort to all legal means in order to prevent Gaddafi from butchering his own people.”
