Żonqor Point must remain a Nature Park - Alternattiva Demokratika

Alternattiva Demokratika reiterates that the Prime Minister should stop playing about with words on the development at Zonqor Point. "We need a clear answer to the question," AD Chairperson Arnold Cassola said after Prime Minister Muscat on Wednesday said that the 'university' project in the south of Malta will take place and will be better than originally proposed. 

Speaking during the last meeting in the series Gvern li Jisma, Dr Muscat said that part of the project will be in Marsaskala and part of it elsewhere in the south.

"Has the idea of touching upon the Nature Park in Żonqor been scrapped? A simple clear answer: Yes or No?", the AD chairman said.

For AD it is amply clear, Żonqor point is to remain untouched and remain a park as approved by the Minister responsible for planning in the 2006 Local Plan.

"AD is proud of its consistency. As in had done in 1995, when it worked with others to save the Munxar peninsula in Saint Thomas Bay from aggressive development, twenty years after, it will continue working to save the last remianing open spaces for the people living in the south of the island."
