Christian Micallef, the minority leader of the Nationalist Party (PN) within the Valletta Local Council, took to Facebook to share his thoughts after an election banner was vandalised. Micallef wrote, “Vandals listen only when others are stronger. If vandals are equal or stronger, their word is the last word.”
He emphasised that if the power of incumbency were a crime, some people would face immediate prosecution. Micallef described the power of incumbency as ‘a thinly-disguised promotional exercise aimed at making voters forget the wrong decisions made by politicians in power.’
He urged voters not to forget their voting power on June 8th, warning against giving power to those desperate to stay in power. “Past and recent experiences have shown us all that these types of people are a cause of worry,” he concluded.
In the comments, fellow candidate Michael Borg posted another photo of a vandalised banner, this time of MEP candidate Peter Agius. All the vandalised artworks appear to have been smeared with black paint.
