Gozo’s fine lace

Part of an article published on Malta Today on 8th August, 2007 be Reno Borg.

Recently, Paul Buttigieg who together with many others are working hard to save Hondoq ir-Rummien, passed to me very useful information on the efforts being done to save the place from the butchery development proposed for the area. The Prime Minister and the Minster for Gozo have repeatedly declared that they give their blessing for such a “splendid” idea notwithstanding the fact that thousands have protested against it and much more thousands do so in their quiet homes in Gozo.

The second requisites for fine lace is: ribbon. The government has spent so many millions in “projects” for Gozo, that the necessary “ribbon” has been successfully provided. It has tied up the future so tightly that new generations would not have the luxury of choosing a pattern for their landscapes. It has been predestined and they would only thank their fathers for such bequeathed beauty.
