In view of the decision delivered by the Constitutional Court earlier today, Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson, Prof. Arnold Cassola, said, “this is the end of the secret backroom deals between PL and PN politicians and the hunting lobby in Malta.”

Prof. Cassola stated, “the power to decide is now all in the hands of the Maltese people who will be able to express themselves on Spring hunting in a democratic and transparent referendum to be held within six months at the latest.”

“I thank environmental NGOs and Civil society for having accepted Alternattiva Demokratika’s invitation a year and a half ago to form a coalition against spring hunting and for their hard work in collecting the necessary signatures. Let us now continue the hard work to ensure that in a few months’ time we consign hunting in spring to the archives of history,” Prof. Cassola concluded.
