Alternattiva Demokratika’s recent call to collect signatures and call for a Referendum on hunting, has also found the backing of the first NGO namely the Ramblers Association who went on record and backed this proposal. This is the second time in local political history that AD is asking for a Referendum after it had called for one on rent law which never materialized. For a referendum to take place the current Maltese legislation requires a request of a minimum of 33,000 signatures.
