Delia warns of action against those taking advantage of his personal situation

Opposition Leader Adrian Delia on Sunday reiterated that personal issues should remain private – something he says both he and his wife Nickie Vella de Fremeaux agreed on in court.

He warned, however, that he would take action against those who were taking advantage of his personal struggles to score political points. 

The couple is currently undergoing separation proceedings. On Saturday, a court granted the PN Leader access to his children. Delia is currently facing calls to step down after court documents leaked onto social media alleged that he had been violent and abusive towards his wife and children. The PN Leader has denied the claims.  

Vella de Fremeaux had filed for separation from her husband of 17 years earlier this year.

Speaking on the party's radio station, Delia stated that he would take action when he finds those taking advantage of the current situation.

 

Corinthia development

Moving on to the ongoing public land debacle in St George's Bay, he spoke of the current plans by Corinthia Group to build up to 100,000 square meters of property.

Delia insisted that this situation highlighted the government's "arrogance and incompetence", mentioning the fact that whilst PN was in favour of projects and investments, things must be done fairly.

"We are in favour of development, but we will never agree that public land will be given to someone directly without the correct negotiations and price."

For this reason, he said, the PN does not back the deal.

 

Abortion

Delia also commented on a report published on the PN's Sunday newspaper, which claimed that the government is considering legalising abortion in the near future.

Whilst hoping this was not true, he said that he fears that it is. "We've always made it clear that we cannot accept abortion. As a party, we will fight to our last breath so that abortion is not legalized in Malta. They can make whichever arguments they from – from the moment of conception, there is life."

He ended the interview by thanking his supporters for their words and support, calling for people to help those who are in need in, especially in this time of the year.
