I’m going court to reclaim our hospitals - Adrian Delia

PN leader Adrian Delia announced that he would be going back to court today morning to file a court case “to reclaim our hospitals”.

Speaking at political activity at the PN club in Zejtun, Delia called upon all those who believe in their country to join him today at the courts in Valletta to reclaim the public hospitals that were sold in a concession deal with VGH.

According to the law, a parliamentary deputy has the right to open a court case if he believes that the government at the time is not utilising the public land properly.

“There is law which allows me as a parliamentarian to go to court when our public land is being stolen from us and to bring it back,” Delia explained.

Today Delia will be accompanied by his whole parliamentary group in the filing of the case.

Two weeks ago Delia had already presented a judiciary protest to court arguing that since VGH had not met its obligations, and the government had breached the conditions of a public contract and had allowed a foreign company with unknown owners, to take the country’s land, public property and equipment, the deal could not go forward.

Speaking further on the health sector, Delia stipulated that with the systematic disregarding by the government over Mount Carmel Hospital, “the Nationalist Party from this day on is to become the voice for those who cannot speak, cannot express themselves, or are being threatened or silenced.”

“No more land is left, we cannot afford to lose more”- Delia

“Our position is crystal clear on the environment. No more land is left, we cannot afford to lose more land,” Delia stated.

“PN is going to defend and protect our precious land, it is going to fight for Zejtun, any other ODZs and wherever else the government tries to take that is precious to us,” Delia added.

The leader of the opposition claimed that the government was breaking the law by taking the land in Bulebel for industrial development. He explained how after speaking to residents and farmers, he was told that no information was provided by the government regarding the development.

“At the end of last month three people with police turned up and told this farmer to start packing up because it was time to take their livelihood away,” Delia said.

He also questioned what the land was really for, who was it for and whether any contract had been signed yet.
