We can\u2019t go on with a state of affairs where the Speaker defends the corrupt. We can\u2019t have a Speaker that acts in contempt of the Standards Commissioner. We can\u2019t have a Speaker that attempts to silence citizens, especially when these citizens have lived through what the Caruana Galizia family has had to endure because of the impunity allowed by the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rosianne Cutajar should not be an MP. If she does not resign of her own accord, she should be thrown out of the Labour Party\u2019s whip as Konrad Mizzi before her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If PM Robert Abela wants us to believe he\u2019s for a change in direction, he most certainly cannot allow Rosianne Cutajar to contest the general elections on the Labour Party\u2019s ticket. She should have no place in Parliament or any public office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday 29 November 2021 at 6 pm, Repubblika, Occupy Justice and <a href=\"\/mt\/\"https:>manueldelia.com<\/a> will be delivering these messages at a protest outside Parliament. We call on people to join us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"\\\"wp-block-image\\\"\"><figure class=\"\\\"aligncenter\" size-large\\\"><img src=\"\\\"https:><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Repubblika, Occupy Justice and manueldelia.com support Matthew Caruana Galizia\u2019s demand for the resignation of Speaker An\u0121lu Farrugia and express their agreement with remarks made by former prime minister and former Speaker Lawrence Gonzi that \u201cwe can\u2019t go on like this\u201d.
