‘Necessary Steps’ To Be Taken on Person Insulting People With Disability And Cancer

In light of the recent social media attention surrounding an individual aggressively insulting persons with disability and cancer patients, Minister for Inclusion and Voluntary Sector Julia Farrugia Portelli has stated that the necessary steps will be taken in that regard.

“Disturbing. Miss, we don’t say ‘jaqq’ to people with disability, leukaemia or cancer, but society should gauge, love and offer support.”

The Minister has reported that the The Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disability (CRPD) has been informed of the case and the necessary steps will be taken.

The case was first brought to the attention of the public and CRPD by PN Spokesperson MP Graziella Galea who also took to social media to condemn the comments made by the individual on TikTok.
