Opposition leader Bernard Grech was disrespectful towards youths when he claimed that the prime minister had announced a White Paper on recreational cannabis only to deviate attention and win their vote, Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri and Labour MP Oliver Scicluna said on Monday.
Reacting to remarks made by the PN leader on Sunday, Camilleri said young people were backing Labour for many more reasons than the use of cannabis.
“Bernard Grech believes that youths will only vote for the Labour Party because of cannabis, not because it is a progressive party which in the past few years has pushed forward important changes, such as Vote 16 and equality,” he said.
Twenty-nine police constables were promoted to sergeants on Thursday in a ceremony presided over by Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri and Police Commissioner Angelo Gafà.

He encouraged them to continue working hard to make a difference in people’s lives.
Gafà said the work of policemen was a vocation that was being transformed into a profession reflecting the force’s new mission statement to provide a professional and trusted service in partnership with the community to ensure a safe country.
