Newly elected Gozitan MP Alex Borg took to social media to ask Minister for Internal Affairs, National Security and law Enforcement Byron Camilleri for more adequate protection on Malta’s sister island.
This comes after the murder of Fawez Najem, the Syrian youth who was stabbed multiple times after a violent altercation broke out between two groups of Syrians. The murder started in a bar near Marsalforn harbour, extending to late at night when Najem was stabbed with a knife.
Borg said that whenever hears of such horrific stories happening in Gozo he is ‘hurt and angry’. He said that, surely, such atrocities in the year 2022 should not bee happening.
‘Police officers in Gozo are doing priceless work and are doing the impossible despite the lack of resources. But now the limit has been crossed, and I await action to take place. Gozo’s police force should bee given the necessary tools to carry out their duty.’
He went on to urge the Minister and all those involved to find a solution together so that ‘the security in Gozo is guaranteed. Goiztans and the future generation deserve better in our own homes.’
