Anti-migration demonstrators were nowhere to be seen in Valletta when an original demonstration was planned last month.
An anti-migration protest planned for next Sunday has been cancelled by its anonymous organiser, a post on Facebook by Malta Taghna reads.
This is the second time the scheduled demonstration was aborted, the first time after the organisers themselves had failed to apply for a police permit. This time round, however, the police permit was obtained but the organiser has decided to cancel the protest.
"A lot are assuming the organiser is a PN follower with malicious intention to harm and obstruct the PL and the Prime Minister. This is false. Simon Busuttil is in favor of turning Malta into a Haiti and he should pay ten years in opposition as the price," the group administrator wrote on Facebook.
The anonymous organiser, who planned on revealing his or her identity on Sunday, also insisted that "a huge numbers of the 10% traitors was going to be there, provoking us, "back stabbing" us with their cross like Dagger [sic]".
The organiser added: "The wannabe Patriots of Malta, most of them a bunch of domesticated sheep, prefer chatters, drama and moaning about the problem of illegal immigration, instead of taking solid action. I am an ordinary citizen and alone I applied for all the necessary Police permits to give ordinary people a chance to unite and together peacefully express our concern. I was planning to reveal my identity on the day of the Demonstration. One of the intention was to send a clear message to the millions that are waiting to cross in Libya and to get help from the EU."
The protests were organised following the government's decision to consider sending back Somali migrants to Libya, hours after 102 migrants reached Malta was thwarted by the European Court of Human Rights who declared the pushback illegal.
The demonstration, intended to support Prime Minister Joseph Muscat's efforts to resolve the issue, was shot down by Muscat himself who said that it should not take place.

The protest should not be directed against the immigrant themselves, but against the way the European Union is dragging it's feet on the issue of burden sharing. They do understand our problem, but they are taking us for a ride by giving us money to keep the irregular immigrants here because the rest of the European Countries do not want that these irregular immigrants in their country. That is the real problem. And now, in our own country, we cannot speak or protest because if you do, you will be labeled as a racist. We became a people without B@ll$.

It's a pity the protest is canceled.We have to show the PN & PL that 90% of the Maltese are not happy with these illegal immigrants.
