Malta’s ENGOs, in a joint statement this afternoon, said that they would like to “urge the public to attend tomorrow’s protest in favour of the environment, to be held at 10:30am at City Gate, Valletta.”

The twelve NGOs involved are, Birdlife Malta, Din l-Art Helwa, Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar, Friends of the Earth Malta, Gaia Foundation, Greenhouse Malta, Malta Organic Agriculture Movement, Moviment Graffitti, NatureTrust Malta, Ramblers Malta, Y4TE and Why Not?

The ENGOs said that they will be rallying around a common manifesto, offering the planning and environmental reform that Malta really needs. In opposition to a reform favouring further unsustainable development, this manifesto outlines what must be done to finally protect our heritage, our countryside and our residents.

“The proposals will lead to more transparent regulating authorities, empower the public, guarantee public access and secure our health and quality of life.,” the ENGOs said.

Through this programme, the ENGOs said that they “demand that the common good be respected instead of it continuing to be trampled upon by powerful private interests.”
