Jon Mallia Calls Out Maltese Leaders Over MIDI Manoel Island Development

May 29 2025 Share

In a powerful social media post, podcaster and public figure Jon Mallia has openly criticised both Prime Minister Robert Abela and Opposition Leader Bernard Grech for their roles in the ongoing MIDI/Manoel Island controversy.

Mallia accused both leaders of “singing the same chorus, written by the same composer,” implying that despite leading opposing parties, they are united in protecting corporate interests over those of the Maltese public.

He questioned how neither has spoken up for ordinary citizens, suggesting that their silence shows a failure to prioritise Malta’s future generations.

Jon also compared the actions of Malta’s leaders to this ongoing case right now and the previous case of former Gżira mayor Conrad Borg Manche, who faced intense legal pushback for opposing a petrol station development in a public garden.

He highlighted how much government effort and taxpayer money was spent to silence that resistance, compared to the complete lack of political challenge in the MIDI-Manoel Island saga.

Mallia made it clear he doesn’t blame MIDI for defending shareholder interests, but places responsibility squarely on elected officials. Ending his post with a rallying call to the public, he wrote: “Malta, I still believe in you. Malta, stand tall.”
