Alternattiva Demokratika has appealed to the Prime Minister to set a date for the general elections.
Chairman Michael Briguglio said:
"In view of Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando's resignation from the Nationalist Party, AD once again appeals to Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi to set a date for the general elections.
"The current political situation is causing too much uncertainty. Postponing the inevitable will only make matters worse.”
AD said it affirmed that if it was in Parliament, it would not act like a primadonna on petty issues, but would work responsibly for progressive change.
