A protest against immigration that was to take place on Sunday has been cancelled, according to the organisor’s facebook page.

“I am an ordinary citizen and alone I applied for all the necessary police permits to give ordinary people a chance to unite and together peacefully express our concern. I was planning to reveal my identity on the day of the demonstration.

“One of the intentions was to send a clear message to the millions that are waiting to cross in Libya and to get help from the EU…

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat last Tuesday criticised plans for the protest and made it clear to the organisers that he does not approve of such demonstrations.

A record number of irregular migrants arrived in Malta last month.
