Where's the difference?

Published by The Times of Malta on 24th September, 2006

I humbly express my sincere concern as to how it is possible to retain Hondoq ir-Rummien in Gozo as a place suitable for swimming when yacht owners are given access to the proposed new marina there, as suggested in the letter by Mark Farrugia, MLP executive (August 23).

The idea seems prima facie as ludicrous to contemplate as that of the Barracudas swimming zone in St Paul's Bay remaining suitable for swimmers when the planned Xemxija marina there comes to reality.

The principle (Msida/Pietà) remains simple and identical: Where yachts are moved in, swimmers are automatically being asked to move out. Capitalism continues to win!
