Can all Hondoq stakeholders be happy?


Published on the Times of Malta on Sunday, 24th February, 2013 by Jane Carr. 
In the letter from Labour’s communication coordinator entitled ‘Labour opposes Hondoq project’ (The Times, February 11), he states that Labour’s stance has “already secured a very positive response from residents, environmentalists and also from stakeholders”. Since the ‘developers’ aren’t mentioned as such, they must be part of the group of people considered stakeholders.
The environmentalists and 85 per cent of Qala’s residents would not react ‘very positively’ if they knew any development were to happen down at Hondoq, and the developers would surely not react ‘very positively’ if they were told they would not be allowed to build anything.
Why have two such disparate sets of people reacted so positively to the same news?
