“The details that are surfacing in court in the Spin Valley case reinforce Alternattiva Demokratika’s conviction that a Whistleblower’s Act should be put through parliament as quickly as possible” said Stephen Cachia, Alternattiva Demokratika deputy Chairperson and Spokesperson on Civil Rights and Democracy.
In court, the chairman and the member on the Mepa board which had approved the discotheque in Mistra said that they told the police that they were against the project but eventually gave in to pressure by Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando.
Such evidence emerged only because of police investigations which started over four months ago.
“The possibility for whistleblowers to be protected by law would give the chance to individuals who would otherwise fear to speak up, to reveal illegal practices which are destroying the beauty of our country, whilst destroying its very soul,” concluded Stephen Cachia.
