ADPD, in a statement has said that the Gozo fast ferry service has ended up moving “at a snails pace.” Adding that “it is shameful that, for the third time,the tender process for the fast ferry between Malta and Gozo, has been halted because of shortcomings in the process.”

It argued that “this means that Gozitans have again been deprived of an effective way of mitigating the daily hardship for many workers and students, who cross between the islands.”

ADPD stressed that “it is also shameful that the people have yet again to make up for the incompetence, as well as the lack of transparency on the part of the authorities.”

“Instead of carrying out its duties with feasible and accessible projects in this sector, the government persists in distracting the public with grandiose schemes, like the one for a tunnel beneath the sea, which, if done, will have a disastrous effect on the environment of Malta and Gozo, apart from other negative social and economic consequences,” ADPD stated.

“It is really ironic how that which was supposed to offer a fast service, has ended up moving at a snail’s pace, because it is bogged down by incompetence and carelessness,” they said.

ADPD concluded by saying that “this shows a complete lack of solidarity with those who will carry the burden of this malpractice.”
