Environment protest to be held on Saturday

The environment protest postponed last week will be held this Saturday at 10:30am at City Gate, Valletta.

The protest march originally planned for last week but postponed due to the unfavorable weather conditions, will be held this Saturday at 10:30am in Valletta.

A cluster of environmentalists and representatives from various NGOs are set to gather at City Gate, Valletta in a protest march for the environment.

The protest is headed by NGOs such as Din l-Art Ħelwa, Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar, Friends of the Earth, Birdlife Malta and Moviment Graffiti amongst others.

Themed under the logo 'For our children and their children's children', the march is planned as a protest against what the environmentalists perceive as a culture of overdevelopment in Malta, with little consideration being given to the environment by the relevant authorities.

The controversial granting of a permit by MEPA for the redevelopment of a mega complex on Mistra ridge at the end of October, proved to be the catalyst for the protest.

Giusti, il punt li ssemmi huwa genwin. pero qed tinsa li ghandna hafna bini vojt. B'hekk jista jinholoq xoghol f'restawr u xoghol biex jitranga u jigi modifikat bini li ga jezisti. Plus hekk nfakkrek li qeghdin fis sena 2013- hemm diversi oqsma ta' xoghol inkluz green jobs. Dwar lahhar punt li nqalghu l-irwiefen kollha- Nahseb li qed tinsa li taht gvern iehor dawn l-istess NGOs kienu jsemmghu lehinhom xorta wada. Forsi issa inqala iktar hoss ghax wara 25 sena tal-istess gvern kienu ndraw u ma baqghhux effettivi. Izda nfakrek ukoll li bhalissa ghaddej sfregju ambjentali fuq dil gzira li l-ebda spekulatur u lebda politkant ma jista jregga lura il hsara li saret/qed issir. Il hasra ta' dan il-pajjiz hi li kollox jinghata dawl partigjan taht partit jew iehor! L-ambjent huwa issue li jolqot il kulhadd. U fuq punt ta' ekonomija nistghu nibzghu ghan-natura li fadlilna u nhajru iktar turisti jigu! Ma nahsibx li dawn jigu biex jaraw blokok tal-konkrit , mhux hekk?

Jistghu l-FAA u l-NGOs l-ohra jghiduli x'ser naghmlu bil-mijiet ta immigrant Afrikani li hemm jahdmu fl-industrija tal-kostruzzjoni bi skop li jaqilghu u jfaddlu l-flus sabiex eventwalment ikunu jistghu jergghu lura lejn pajjizhom jew band'ohra? Jekk ser nibqghu nippersegwitaw u nohonqu l-industrija tal-kostruzzjoni Maltijja li tipprovdi gheluf ta' mjiegi maghha u ma ghexieren ta' attivitajiet ekonomici ohra diretti jew indiretti, dawn l-immigranti ser jispiccaw bla xoghol remunerattiv u hemm il-periklu serju li jinqalghu irvelllijiet kif kien gara fil-ghettos barra Parigi xi snin ilu. Inutli neqirdu dwar il-qaghad dejjem jikber fl-Unjoni Ewropeja u mmorru Brussell nittalbu flus sabiex nghollu l-ispirtu ta' min hu bla xoghol meta hemm hafna attivitajiet industrijali/kummercjali li nistghu insahhu ghak holqien ta' xoghol. Nappella sabiex lic-Chairman il gdid tal-MEPA jithalla jaghmel xoghlu bil-kwiet. Sar tant tahwid u tbazwir fil-MEPA fil-passat. Issa ser iqumu l-irwiefen kollha?
