Casa condemns Minister Edward Scicluna’s endorsement of call for him to be put to death “The Minister engineered hate speech against me and then endorsed it” – Casa Following weeks of criticism over his handing of Pilatus Bank and the performance of the FIAU and the MFSA for which he is politically responsible Minster Edward Scicluna took to Facebook to repeat the labour party’s preferred narrative and accuse MEP David Casa of working against Malta. The Head of the PN Delegation in the European Parliament David Casa stated: “The beleaguered Edward Scicluna, in an effort to divert attention from his miserable failure in the handling of the Pilatus Bank fiasco pinned an attack on me to the top of his Facebook page. This generated numerous hateful posts from his supporters, one of which called for my hanging, which the Minister endorsed. This has crossed the line. It is outrageous, dangerous and criminal. The call for my death has been on Edward Scicluna’s Facebook page for over 15 hours. Inciting hatred and violence is a crime that has no place in our society. I will be filing a police report against the person that posted the threat and the minister who endorsed it. Edward Scicluna allowed himself to become part of a concerted effort to silence anyone that that stands for justice and accountability. His continued stewardship of Malta’s finances constitutes a serious threat to the financial sector and the many livelihoods that depend on it”.
