Following three days of protests in Dingli by activist group Moviment Graffiti, some residents of the locality filed a judicial protest against the group for having halted the work in the area. Filed by John and Rose Sammut and Carmel Galea, the protest accuses the activists of ‘clandestinely and abusively’ creating hurdles for roadworks to occur. They claimed that due to protests, some residents could not exit their homes.
Furthermore, the petition, which collected around 15 signatures, claimed that the residents had called for roadworks to occur in the area as it needed to be upgraded to facilitate passage for fire engines and ambulances. Tensions remain high as the activists insist they have ample evidence to protest and thus remain vigilant on site.
