Independent Politician Says We Should Focus On Alternatives For Manoel Island
Jun 3 2025 Share

As public debate over the future of Manoel Island intensifies, independent politician Luca Arrigo is urging stakeholders to consider creative alternatives to the current development plans. Speaking out amid growing concerns and petitions, Arrigo raised several key questions aimed at balancing development with environmental preservation.

Arrigo stresses that such innovative solutions could help preserve Malta’s natural heritage while respecting existing legal agreements related to the island. He encourages MIDI, the government, and all stakeholders to work collaboratively toward sustainable outcomes.

“By exploring these alternatives, we can protect green spaces, provide accessible public parks, and reduce the ecological footprint of new developments,” Arrigo said. “This is the moment to rethink our approach and create lasting benefits for future generations.”

Luca Arrigo also added in a separate post, “I vibe coded this AI powered policy debate platform for the Manuel island controversy. This is intended to give us all an unbiased source of information where we can ask questions about the project. I have sent a “freedom of information” request to the government to receive the full contract so that it can be added to the knowledge base too.”

Minister Dalli noted that the Mediterranean, including Malta, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. She highlighted the need for regional collaboration, stating that individual efforts alone are insufficient.

She also underlined the importance of EU Mediterranean countries working together to secure targeted funding and advance shared priorities.

The September conference, organised in collaboration with the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), aims to provide a platform for open dialogue on regional climate challenges and potential solutions.

It is expected to contribute to the development of adaptable climate strategies that reflect the specific environmental and socio-economic conditions of the Mediterranean region.

The ‘Wealthy Mindset | Motivation | World News’ platform explained how whereas Monaco gives billionaires tax invisibility and London builds global narrative around power, Malta hands them identity on demand.

The platform labelled these three as a triangular strategy of power, privacy, and prestige.

‘Malta = Citizenship & Access’ the blow continues, highlighting the Golden passport program, Schengen + EU mobility and ‘Asset friendly legal framework.’

‘Malta isn’t a country to them. It’s a keycard. To open 180+ doors and close a few behind them. Citizenship here = Plan B for when Plan A explodes.’
