Equality Secretary Rosianne Cutajar has publicly condemned sexist comments aimed at PN candidate Angela Coleiro.
The Net TV presenter, the first trans woman to contest a forthcoming election, was the target of sexist comments on facebook.
Rosianne Cutajar posted on social media, “I unreservedly condemn the belittling, sexist and homophobic words aimed at PN candidate Angela Coleiro. We’re not smiling at what you do. This kind of talk is of no benefit to the Labour Party, least of all a government that did its best for Malta to be at the top of the league of civil liberties,” Cutajar said on Facebook.
“And one other thing: let’s stop this thing of calling any woman we disagree with a prostitute. It’s a big disservice to those women aspiring to enter politics. We want to be better, not worse, than our political adversaries!”
