Wednesday, 1 October 2025, 12:13 Last update: about 11 months ago

Moviment Graffitti has released a video "showing how Government's Bills 143 and 144 (the proposed planning reforms) are basically a developer wishlist."

The NGO said that the video shows how the Government took on board "every complaint Joseph Portelli made during last May's debate on Mercury Tower - and changed everything that had been holding him and other big developers back from doing whatever they wanted."

"This Saturday 4 October, the public is invited to protest."

 The national protest 'Ġustizzja għal Artna: Kill the Bills' will start at 10am from the law courts, it said.
