NGOs join forces to protest against development in Gozo
Published on The Malta Independent on Tuesday 26th June, 2007 by Juan Ameen.
Moviment Harsien Hondoq secretary and Qala local councillor Paul Buttigieg said that he was protesting against the destruction of Gozo’s environment, especially the development overlooking Ramla l-Hamra, Mgarr ix-Xini and Hondoq ir-Rummien, and to save the little that is left.
He pointed out that many historic places in Gozo, such as Fort Chambray, are already lost.
"We are worried that, after Ramla L-Hamra, Hondoq Ir-Rummien will be next,” said Mr Buttigieg.
He added that 85 per cent of the Qala residents, who voted in a secret referendum, voted against the project.
“This referendum should not be pushed aside for a simple survey,” he said.
