Squinted vision
Part of an article published on the Times of Malta on Saturday, 13th October, 2007 by Carmel Cacopardo.
When dealing with Gozo (pp. 35-7), the PN document focuses on the investment in projects intended to minimise environmental impacts (sewage purification and waste management). There is fortunately no repetition of the irresponsible ministerial statements made in support for the Hondoq ir-Rummien project. Whether this is a matter of convenience or else one of repentance has still to be seen!
No vision for the future of this country can be considered realistic if it does not take into account environmental issues when conceived.
Vision statements are not realistic when they relegate the environment to an add-on. This is what the PN document does notwithstanding the inclusion of the word "environment" in its title. The PN vision is hence squinted. It needs to be substantially revised and realigned with environmental values. Only then will talking of achieving excellence make sense.
