In light of recent developments regarding the serious fake ID card scandal, which has now led to the opening of a Magisterial Inquiry, the Nationalist Party (PN) is demanding clear and concrete measures to restore public trust in Malta’s identity registration system.
During an intervention on NET FM, PN Leader Bernard Grech emphasized that the public has the right to know the full truth about this scandal, which has shaken the nation. To address the issue, the PN is proposing the following measures:
- Verification Process: The Nationalist Party is calling for a verification process allowing every citizen to check who is registered at their property. This measure aims to eliminate any potential for future abuse or fraud.
- Publication of Identity Malta’s Internal Inquiry Report: Identity Malta is obligated to publish the report of its internal inquiry into the scandal, ensuring the public can see what actions were taken as soon as the fraud was uncovered.
- Resignation of Minister Byron Camilleri: The Nationalist Party insists that the responsible minister, Byron Camilleri, should immediately resign, taking political responsibility for this serious governance failure.
The PN believes these steps are crucial to rebuilding trust in public systems and ensuring justice is served.
On the tragic murder of Nicolette Ghirxi, the PN Leader reiterated his commitment to enacting concrete changes to ensure the safety and protection of victims. He stressed that Malta must learn from these tragedies and take the necessary steps to prevent such incidents from recurring.
The Nationalist Party has called for meetings of the Parliamentary Committees on Family and Social Affairs to discuss and implement measures that not only strengthen the laws but also improve the operation of competent authorities. The first of these meetings took place yesterday.
Furthermore, Bernard Grech reminded that both he and the Nationalist Party have joined the Ghirxi family’s call for an independent inquiry to uncover any shortcomings and learn from them.
The PN Leader urged institutions to prioritize the interests of the people and do everything necessary to restore a sense of justice and protection in the country.
