‘No U-turn’ – please do not play with words
Published on The Malta Independent on Sunday 30th September, 2007 by Leslie Causon.
In his letter to the editor (TMIS, 23 September), Malta Labour Party Media Executive Mark Farrugia tries to convince your readers that Dr Alfred Sant and the Labour Party have not carried out a U-turn regarding their position on the proposed development of Hondoq ir-Rummien Bay in Gozo.
It was reported that in his interview on the Reporter programme of 11 September, Dr Sant said that any development “will be done together with, in full discussion and consultation, and in agreement with the residents and communities concerned...”
May I remind Dr Sant that the residents of Qala have already voiced their opinion on this matter in 2002, when an overwhelming majority of 85 per cent of the voters rejected the project.
It is time for Dr Sant and the Malta Labour Party to be clear and stop playing with words – do they or do they not agree with any form of development at Hondoq ir-Rummien? The residents of Qala would like to see the rehabilitation of this disused quarry that will mean the continuing enjoyment of this picturesque bay.
