Gozo minister, Mrs Giovanna Debono, has defended the proposed construction of a marina and tourist village at the picturesque and environmentally sensitive Hondoq ir-Rummien in Gozo, saying that it is good for the sister island.
Mrs Debono told One News that everyone should agree with any project which is beneficial to Gozo as is the case with the proposed development of Hondoq ir-Rummien in Qala.
However, the Nationalist led Qala local council has presented a series of objections to the project. It had also conducted a referendum on the project when it was first mooted in 2002. The result showed overwhelming popular opposition to the project by the residents who want to preserve the only bay in Gozo which is still in its natural state.
