On Thursday evening, protestors walked down the streets of Valletta demanding for ‘justice’ and for a ‘cleaner’ Malta in the wake of the Vitals inquiry and accusations of former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and various other Labour government officials.

The protest was organized by Repubblika and was promoted under the banner Ningħaqdu għal-Malta Nadifa (uniting for a clean Malta).

It was also backed by 21 other NGOs including KSU, KNZ and Moviment Graffitti and included a march which started from the Parliament building and ended directly in front of the law courts.

Most of the protestors were chanting several chants including “Daphne was right”, “Send the thieves to Kordin” and “You robbed us, we want our Malta back”.

There were 8 speakers in total; Megan Mallia (Daphne Caruana Galizia’s niece); Repubblika and Occupy Justice activist Pia Zammit; Norman Vella; KNŻ National Officer Sarah Xuereb; Moviment Graffitti’s Robert Louis Fenech; Repubblika President Vicki Ann Cremona; KSU President Luke Bonanno; and Repubblika’s honorary President, Robert Aquilina.

Robert Aquilina, Republikka’s honorary president stated that the people were finally facing a “moment of truth” in Malta’s history ahead of Joseph Muscat’s pending court case.
