Alternattiva Demokratika has expressed disappointment at the Electoral Commission's refusal to grant European Greens observer status during the divorce referendum.

It was also disappointed at the commission's refusal to give the reason why.

Addressing a news conference this afternoon, AD chairman Michael Briguglio said that the Euroepan Greens had written to the Prime Minister requesting his intervention and appealed for common sense to prevail.

The European Green party had been present as an observer during the referendum on EU membership.

Dr Briguglio urged the people to vote Yes in next Saturday's referendum. He said that while a yes vote allowed people to choose no in their personal life, a no vote did not allow people to choose yes in their personal life.
