'Non!' to Moulin Rouge in Malta
Part of an article published on The Times Of Malta on 9th June, 2007 by Dr. Anthony Licari.
Hondoq ir-Rummien
I believe the government must also make a mature u-turn in the case of Hondoq ir-Rummien. The place may not be clean enough but this is no justification to destroy it to please the usual developers. Do you destroy your house or bring concrete mixers into your garden when they only need to be cleaned? A needed clean-up is no excuse to create another ecological disaster. Above all, the vast majority of people living in the area - plus the vast majority of Gozitans and Maltese - want to leave Hondoq in its natural state. This is what democracy is all about. Putting one's clumsy claws on this area of beauty would simply mean arrogance, authoritarianism and voracious capitalism - besides another big chunk off PN votes in the next election.
