Association (TMID, 7 November). He wrote that I had contradicted myself because in my brief speech, I declared that it is my wish to make Marsascala the beautiful `picture-card` it once was, and that at the same time we plan to put up a unique monument in one of its squares.

It seems that your reporter cannot digest both projects. For him it’s either one or the other.

It is news to me that, if on the one hand we do set up a monument – which is to be landmark for our locality, we cannot embellish and try to restore the rest of Marsascala to its pristine glory on the other.

Are we to gather that the famous Geneva lake fountain is constraining the Swiss City`s mayor from embellishing the city?
