In view of this afternoon’s debate on citizenship in the European Parliament, Prof. Arnold Cassola, Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson, said, “Prime Minister Muscat’s scheme is insensitive and offensive to human dignity since it distinguishes between rich foreigners who are considered to be of ‘high value, talented and high calibre’ whilst the average Maltese who earns 15000 euros a year is not deemed so.”

Prof Cassola added, “this notwithstanding, Alternattiva Demokratika augur that the references to Malta in the voted resolution are removed. The Maltese people must not be punished because of the insensitivity and incompetence of their Prime Minister.”
