PN MP Reiterates Call To Remove Parliament Barriers

Feb 7 2024

Nationalist MP Darren Carabott took to social media to reiterate his call for the removal of the Parliament barriers.

‘The parliament belongs to the people and it should be open and look as such’, wrote MP Carabott.

‘I took action when I was elected in July 2022, and I am taking action again now in 2024.’

‘I tabled questions to the Speaker as to what the point of the barriers is and why they are still there. And I was not content with the response that they will remain there – if not become permanent.’

‘The barriers push a negative message that goes against the reasons why the parliament was built and why.’

‘Since we go knocking on people’s doors for votes, we should not be bothered when people come knocking where we have a chair which was lent to us for 5 years.’

This comes as MaltaDaily campaigns for the removal of the barriers. You can sign the petition to remove the barriers here.
