With the tourism industry on its knees and youth unemployment so high, especially in Gozo, I am amazed at the number of letters that criticise the proposed Hondoq ir-Rummien project.

Given the extreme positions adopted by Alternattiva Demokratika on the one hand, and the PN on the other, the MLP position stands out as the only one that is sensibly balanced for the long-term economic benefit of Qala and Gozitan residents.

Hence I agree with Labour’s stand that a marina without land speculation at Hondoq is the best solution. I am confident that the MLP will stand firm by its commitment and original stand, namely not to adopt a hands-off approach on Hondoq.
