The Malta Development Association (MDA) is very disappointed at the European Court of Justice ruling against the Maltese Citizenship by Investment Programme. It is also surprised by the extent to which the ruling totally ignored and overturned the Legal Opinion given by the ECJ’s own Advocate General which endorsed the arguments of the Maltese Government.
The Programme has been of great benefit for the economic development of the country and the MDA encourages Government to amend rather than abort it.
Mda urges all political parties to Rise beyond partisan politics in issues of national importance.
