Abela's decision preceded a constitutional court ruling that found former justice minister Owen Bonnici in breach of hu- man rights for ordering the daily clearance of the makeshift me- morial at the foot of the Great Siege monument. The survey shows that 30.2% of PL voters agree with the Prime Minister's decision, while 28.3% are unsure of it. As expected, Abela's decision is agreeable to a majority of Na- tionalist Party voters (79.9%). Only 7.8% of PN voters disa- gree with the Prime Minister. Support for the decision is highest in Gozo with 62.2% agreeing with the Prime Min- ister. In the Southern Harbour region – traditional Labour hin- terland – 37.3% agree with Ab- ela's decision, while 32.7% disa- gree. Overall, the decision to stop the daily clearance of Caruana Galizia's Valletta memorial en- joys the support of 51.9% of vot- ers, against 24.6% who disagree and 23.5% who are unsure. Police commissioner resigna- tion Lawrence Cutajar's resignation from police commissioner has been well received across the board, according to the survey. Overall, 69.6% agree with the resignation that happened in the same week that Robert Abela be- came Prime Minister. Only 9.7% disagree with the decision, while 20.7% are unsure about the move. The resignation is agreeable to 53.7% of those who voted for the Labour Party in 2017, as op- posed to 15%, who disagree and 31.3% who are unsure. After years of calling for Cuta- jar's resignation, as expected, 90.2% of PN voters agree with the former police commission- er's departure. Only 2% of Na- tionalist voters disagree. Justyne Caruana's resignation Justyne Caruana's resignation from Gozo minister so soon af- ter her appointment was wel- comed by an absolute majority, the MaltaToday survey finds. Asked whether they agree with Caruana's resignation, 58.8% answered Yes, with a quarter showing their disapproval with the former minister's decision. Caruana stepped down after it was revealed that her husband, former deputy police chief Sil- vio Valletta, had travelled with Daphne Caruana Galizia murder suspect Yorgen Fenech. But the survey shows that her decision has split Labour voters down the middle. A relative ma- jority (40.7%) of PL 2017 voters disagree with Caruana's resigna- tion, as opposed to 37.7% who agree with her decision. Among PN voters, 84% agree with Caruana's resignation and only 5.8% are opposed to the de- cision. Methodology The survey was carried out between Tuesday 21 January and Tuesday 28 January. 655 respondents opted to complete the survey. Stratified random sampling based on gender, re- gion and age was used to repli- cate the Maltese demographics. The estimated margin of error is 5% for a confidence interval of 95%. Demographic and sub- group breakdowns have a larger margin of error. Do you agree with the resignation of Justyne Caruana from the Ministry for Gozo?
