Opposition leader Bernard Grech took to instagram to drop his concerns regarding recent news on Manoel Island.
In a video he said, “As long as there is still a chance and no development has taken place yet, let us do our best to transform Manoel Island into a national park, as 29,000 people who signed the petition are calling for. The Nationalist Party understands the frustration of the residents of the localities surrounding Manoel Island, who are now fed up with the situation. I remind you that our country today is not the same as it was 25 years ago when the concession was granted, based on an agreement between the two sides of Parliament.”

Grech also mentioned that, following calls made last week, the Prime Minister now appears to be moving in the same direction.
Grech concluded, “We are determined that, together with the Maltese people, we will see this beautiful dream of turning this site into a park enjoyed by families become a reality.”
