Alternattiva Demokratika has called on environmental NGOs and Maltese environmentalists to unite in organising a boycott of the financing process of the high-rise buildings in Imrieħel and Tas-Sliema approved recently by the Planning Authority.
A boycott of the bond issue to finance the projects would be a very strong and effective message against the towers.
This was stated by Carmel Cacopardo, Deputy Chairperson of Alternattiva Demokratika - The Green Part, when commenting on the proposal reported in the media this morning, calling for the organisation of a boycott of services and products marketed by the Gasan and Tumas Groups.
Mr Cacopardo added that civil society should send a clear message that those who are prepared to finance these projects do not deserve the support of the Maltese population.
"It is more effective," concluded Cacopardo, "if the boycott is directly linked to the financing process of the high-rise buildings."
