The Nationalist Party have released a scathing statement about the reaction of the Prime Minister Robert Abela to yesterday’s news of former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and other former Labour officials being criminally charged and accused.

The party stated that on a day where reportedly justice was supposed to be served, the Prime Minister instead of letting the legal institution work decided to ignore them and save himself.

During a press conference, Leader of Opposition Bernard Grech alleged that the Prime Minister thinks that he has the jurisdiction to charge and take care of justice rather than the courts. He also stated that Robert Abela did a whole discussion complaining about the integrity of the magistrates, journalists and of the courts.

The Nationalist Party went on to say that it is clear that all Robert Abela is trying to do is save himself and that the State Advocate cannot deprive the findings of the inquiry from the public and that it is their right to know what was officially found.

According to the Nationalist Party, Robert Abela is confused and has his back against the wall and as a result has gone on a viscous attack on the media and courts and provided nothing to parliament.

They reminded the public that the Nationalist Party were the ones that brought independence to Malta and got the island into the EU and will reportedly succeed into bringing justice to Malta.
