Residents of Swieqi are being subjected to an increasing amount of abuse and vandalism particularly in summer.
Incidents including broken car mirrors, broken glass bottles on properties. and eggs thrown at houses and cars are common in this town. In addition, garbage from short-term rentals is frequently disposed of improperly, creating unsanitary conditions. Break-ins and constant noise further contributes to the distress.
Jordan Galea Pace, the deputy mayor of Swieqi has been outspoken about these problems and has used social media to raise awareness of the hardships of the locals. In a recent post, he emphasised the community’s growing concern and the need for the government to act immediately. Numerous locals have complained to Jordan about drunken tourists bothering them.
Swieqi is increasingly resembling Paceville, leading to sleepless nights and a decline in the community’s quality of life. The Deputy Mayor calls for increased police or community patrols to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents. He asserts that Swieqi should not be treated as a doormat for tourists, and stresses that although tourism is welcome, vandalism and harassment is unacceptable.
The authorities are urged to protect Swieqi residents and restore the tranquillity of the town. Immediate and effective measures are needed to safeguard this community.
