Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson, Prof. Arnold Cassola, said: “It is unacceptable that Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan is threatening to bomb the North Korean ship ‘Morning Glory’ that is laden with oil coming from the rebel provinces, with the precise intention of causing an environmental disaster. Is this the Ali Zeidan who has just declared that Malta is Libya’s friend? Does Malta’s best friend threaten to pollute our source of drinking water? With friends like these, Prime Minister Muscat has to speak up vigorously and unequivocally.”

Iċ-Chairperson ta’ Alternattiva Demokratika, Prof. Arnold Cassola, qal: “Mhux aċċettabbli li l-Prim Ministru Libjan Ali Zeidan qiegħed jhedded li se jibbumbardja il-vapur Korean ‘Morning Glory’, li huwa mimli biż-żejt mill-provinċji ribelli, bl-intenzjoni ċara li jikkawża diżastru ekoloġiku. Dan huwa l-istess Ali Zeidan li għadu kif iddikjara li Malta hija ħabiba tal-Libja? Issa din il-ħabiba ta’ Malta qegħda thedded li se tniġġez l-għajn li nixorbu minnha? Bi ħbieb bħal dawn, il-Prim Ministru Muscat jeħtieġ jitkellem bis-saħħa u mingħajr tlaqliq.”
