Labour MP Etienne Grech has declared he is not in favour of multi-culturalism and migrants who have grounds to stay in Malta should integrate with the local culture.

He made his comment in a Facebook post above a newspaper report quoting Justice Minister Owen Bonnici saying that no one has a carte blanche to insult other religions, and 'we are in favour of multi-culturalism'.

In his comment, Dr Grech said: I am not in favour of multi-culturalism...what I am in favour of is that migrants who qualify to stay in our country should be taught Maltese or European culture and that they integrate in it, as always happened in the past.

"If not first-generation migrants, at least their children should integrate in our culture."
