The commissioner's office had highlighted funding issues and political partisanship in Repubblika's organ- isations, arguing that they are functioning as a private interest foundation and not a voluntary organisation. In the judicial protect, Repubblika call this behaviour "illegal and anti-constitutional", while formally asking that the commissioner withdraw its threat to de-list the NGO and acknowledge that the assertions are un- founded. "Such a letter is not acceptable in a democratic so- ciety. It is an insult that the government office that is supposed to be strengthened by civil society tells us to 'lower the volume' so that we can survive," a Repubbli- ka statement reads. The NGO yesterday held a press conference reiterat- ing their demands, themselves threatening to mobilise public opinion if the commissioner fails to withdraw its warning. Repubblika President Robert Aquilina had pointed out that the Commissioner approved the statute and personally confirmed in meetings throughout previous months that the NGO is fully compliant with the law, signalling a recent change of heart from the office.
