Update: Front Harsien ODZ will be holding a public protest in Valletta next Saturday, the 20th of June. The protest will start near the Parliament Building in Valletta at 10,00am.
The Front said that the theme chosen for the protest is ‘Save Zonqor’ “The protest will call on the Government to abide to the local plan for the South of Malta and reconfirm the designation of the entire Zonqor area as a national park where no development is to be allowed and where the livelihood of farmers is protected.”
“The citizens’ protest will be non partisan and open for the participation of people from all walks of life and political beliefs. The protest is being organised by the citizens represented in the Front and not by political parties. Civil society and all social and environmental NGOs are being invited to participate in this inclusive event,” said Front Harsien ODZ.
