People spoke loud and clear – No movement

The anti-divorce movement had done its duty of informing people so they could take an informed decision and was proud of its work, according to Arthur Galea Salomone, one of the movement’s leaders.

He said now that the people had spoken “loud and clear”, their will should be respected.

“This was a democratic process. We brought different views to the table and the people have spoke, loud and clear. We have fulfilled our role and responsibilities. I do not think it was a failing of our campaign. It’s a reflection of what society thinks and wants and we have to respect that,” he said.

The anti-divorce movement, he said, respected the outcome of the referendum and thanked all those who had taken part in the campaign, both for and against.

On a personal note, Dr Galea Salomone said it was an overall positive and intensive experience.

Asked how much the movement had spent on the campaign and how much of it was funded by the Church, Dr Galea Salomone said the movement would be publishing its accounts with details of how much it spent and on what. He did not specify when.
