INTERVIEW
Graziella Attard
Previ: A PN
government
would prioritise
the fight against
domestic
violence
A Nationalist Party government would
take the bull by the horns and truly pri-
oritise the fight against domestic vio-
lence, Graziella Attard Previ pledged.
In an interview with MaltaToday,
the PN's spokesperson for equality,
civil liberties, and children's rights
acknowledged the recent progress
made to equip authorities with the
right resources to handle domestic
violence cases.
Despite this, she believed that there
is still much to be done and that the
delay in obtaining resources such as
panic alarms and electronic tagging
systems could endanger victims of
domestic violence. Attard Previ also
called for court reform that would
address the backlog of domestic vio-
lence cases.
On civil liberties, she acknowledged
her party's mistake in abstaining on
the civil union vote in 2014, while
emphasising that the party has since
learned from this misstep and re-
mained consistent in its principles.
As I bring up euthanasia, which is
supposed to be the subject of a na-
tionwide discussion during this legis-
lature, Attard Previ was reluctant to
give her personal opinion on the mat-
ter. She said that the PN still needed
to discuss the issue while maintaining
that her party values life from its con-
ception until the end.
Opposition MP Graziella Attard Previ sits
down with Matthew Farrugia to discuss
domestic violence in Malta, the need to
protect victims the Nationalist Party's
electoral chances
I am the first to admit
that the PN has
undergone a process
when it comes to civil
liberties. After the 2013
election, the party went
through a regeneration
phase.
