In a press conference in front of Parliament, Valletta, Front Harsien ODZ reiterated its call for Government’s publication of the agreement with Sadeen over the ‘American’ University of Malta.

“The agreement should be published before parliament closes for the summer holidays, so as to enable a transparent and open debate in Malta’s highest political institution. Otherwise, it will be clear that Government is intending to proceed with the development process on ODZ land in Zonqor in Summer, thus avoiding parliamentary scrutiny.”

The Front added, “a few days we organised Malta’s biggest ever environmental protest and we urged Government to publish the agreement with Sadeen immediately. This appeal was also made by the Front on Xarabank, yet to date, we have only been told that Government will publish it when it deems fit to do so. This only raises suspicion that agreements are being made behind the public’s back”.

In the meantime, in reaction to Joseph Muscat’s latest statement on the development site, the Front stated, “if Zonqor ODZ is used for ‘American’ University, this is absolutist and not a balance. Zonqor is already designated as nature park. The Prime Minister should discuss in Parliament and not politicise summer.”
