The trust of the Maltese and Gozitan people in the Police Force has been further strengthened following the arrest of eight people just hours after 200 kilogrammes of cannabis were stolen from an AFM compund, the Labour Party said Wednesday.
Whilst others were trying to ridicule Commissioner Gafà and the Police Force, to try give the impression that he was not doing anything about the case, the Police were working diligently and silently, as they do in every investigation, to bring to justice all those responsible, the PL said.
On the one hand, we have an opposition that tries to ridicule police officers, and on the other hand, a government that trusts this important institution.
The Government, under the direction of Minister Byron Camilleri, invested not only in the conditions of police officials, improved their working environment and invested in the tools they use to carry out their duties, but also in their rights, recently with legal amendments for stricter penalties on those who attack public officials. This is to ensure that the Maltese and Gozitan people enjoy a better service, the PL said.
One thing is clear. Today, our country does not let drug traffickers free, but drug cases are solved in the shortest time possible, and no criminals are spared.
“Bernard Grech and Karol Aquilina spent the last two days showing deep arrogance in Parliament. Aquilina went as far as insulting the Speaker of the House,” the PL said.
This extremist opposition continues to lose people’s trust, and therefore, they resort to immature and aggressive behaviour.
In the meantime, the government continues to deliver results, the PL said.
