‘GRTU members should vote according to their conscience’
The anti-divorce lobby Zwieg bla Divorzju has met the chamber of SMEs, whose president Paul Abela today declared his personal stand against divorce.
“I have been married for 38 years and I have five children and I am against divorce. I appeal to GRTU members to analyse and decide according to their conscience. Malta has nothing better or more valuable than its values and the family.”
Abela said the GRTU has no official position on divorce, however he also remarked that the issue had been foisted on the people “like a bolt out of the blue” and with no electoral mandate.
ZBD chairperson Andre Camilleri agreed with Abela on the way divorce was introduced without an electoral mandate. “It was an abdication of MPs’ responsibility… we’ll be spending millions on a referendum.”
Camilleri told the GRTU that the movement was sensitive to the difficulties of people and separated spouses, but the proposed divorce bill was not a solution. “Experience has shown that wherever divorce has been introduced, marital problems have increased everywhere. We have to see what has caused marital separations in Malta and we want the state to dedicate more resources, invest in the strengthening of marriage instead of pushing divorce as a remedy.”

Others have problems and want an alternative in life. Filkas itilqu ghixu l iran fejn il gvern jindahal f kull haga li taghmel f hajtek.

"Abela said the GRTU has no official position on divorce, however he also remarked that the issue had been foisted on the people “like a bolt out of the blue” and with no electoral mandate."
Does Abela have the mandate from GRTU members to declare IN THEIR NAME that the issue has been "foisted on the people"?
Besides, what's going on in the GRTU? First it went to the government to prevent people from earning money on a religious festivity, now it's preaching about divorce? What does any of this have to do with "retailers and traders"?

“I have been married for 38 years and I have five children and I am against divorce''
Proset, there is nothing better than that. Happy marriage to you Mr. Abela. But suppose your wife had left you and has had five children from five other ''partners'', would you think the same???? Manahsibx eh.......
