Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party said that it was proud to have set the ball rolling for the introduction of divorce.
AD was addressing a press conference commemorating a year of the referendum victory for the ‘yes’ vote.
Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson and co-founder of the ‘Yes’ movement, said, “AD had been speaking for the introduction of divorce since 1989, and two years ago it decided to take direct action by inviting members of parliament to take a stand on divorce.
“We wrote to all members of parliament and sent them the Irish and Italian divorce laws as models to follow. This eventually led to the formation of the ‘Yes’ movement which successfully lobbied for a ‘yes’ vote. As the only political party with a clear stand in favour of the introduction of divorce, AD is proud to have been on the right side of history and of speaking up for the introduction of this basic civil right.
“AD therefore has a positive impact for progressive changes in Malta, even though it is not yet in parliament. Just imagine how more influential AD will be as a parliamentary force.
“Progressive voters should keep in mind that Lawrence Gonzi voted against divorce whilst Joseph Muscat lacked the courage to commit his party on such a vital issue,” he concluded.
Angele Deguara, AD Spokesperson for Social Policy and Civil Rights, said, “AD is proud to have had such a crucial role in the process which led to the introduction of divorce legislation in Malta last year. This law is important for Maltese couples, like couples in other parts of the world, to be able to regularise their relationship and to remarry if they so wish.
“AD gives a lot of importance to civil rights issues and it will continue working and expressing its concerns so that other social categories such as LGBT persons will not continue to be denied civil rights which government has been promising to address without taking any concrete action. AD believes that social policy and civil law should not reflect one family type but should address today’s social realities.”
