Zminijietna, the ‘Voice of the Left,’ said in a statement today as an organisation that promotes environmental and social justice, it joins forces in the call call for the MEPA Environment and Planning Tribunal to reject Thursday’s appeal for the Hondoq ir-Rummien Project.

“The proposed project is outside the development zone, mostly frequented by the public both for swimming, hiking and rambling purposes. People have the right to continue to enjoy public spaces. These are important for everyday democracy,” the organisation said.

Zminijietna stated that “a referendum conducted among the people of Qala had shown that 85% of the people disagreed with the proposed project.”

Zminijietna concluded by saying that “it supports the proposal to establish Hondoq ir-Rummien as a national park, run by the local council and rehabilitated into an open space for everyone as originally set out in the area’s local plans.”

Zminijietna – is the “Voice of the Left,” whose members of the organisation “include members of the Communist Party of Malta, the Malta Labour Party, Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party, workers, academics, university students, trade unionists, journalists, intellectuals and pensioners.”

Zminijietna has become the voice of the left movement in Malta. The main aim of Zminijietna – Voice of the Left, is to have a greater presence in Malta’s civil society through activism from a leftist perspective, emphasising the principles of equality, social justice and ecological sustainability.
