Alternattiva Demokratika – the Green Party spokesperson on EU and International Affairs, Prof. Arnold Cassola said, “reports have reached Alternattiva Demokratika that voters are finding it difficult to book flights to Malta for the 9th March elections. Amongst other cities, Brussels and London seem to be the problematic.
“It would seem the PN and the PL have pre-booked seats on the national airline for their supporters, thus making it difficult for those voters who do not want to identify with any political party to come to Malta.
“Alternattiva Demokratika strongly deplores the fact that the Electoral Commissioner has asked the political parties to nominate an employee of Air Malta of their trust to oversee the applications of each respective political party voters. Alternattiva Demokratika has refused to avail itself of this offer since we believe that Air Malta employees are paid to work for their company and not for the benefit of PN and PL,” Prof. Arnold Cassola concluded.
