I mean really, look at it. An absolute disaster. The government finds the funds to buy back leases like cafe premier which weren't bothering anyone, but when it comes to the wholesale destruction of manoel island, heqq, they have a lease aye so there's nothing we can do…

Keep in mind, the board doesn't even seem to give a hoot about the heritage of manoel island, they just want to be sure it won't jeopardize valletta's world heritage status.

Because we are incapable of just protecting heritage for the sake of heritage.

  1. Sadly Malta all we care about is money. With the government blind to the fact that culture and heritage does indeed generate revenue from quality tourism!

  2. Manoel Island is the perfect opportunity for another national park in an extremely congested area of the island.

    But where’s the money in that?

  3. Seriously? Out of all the places they could’ve chosen to build more ugly apartments in, they chose Manoel Island? Why not transform it into a park like another poster said?

  6. Sounds like a great time for Malta to come together and protest the fuck out of it.

    A ‘Manoel island” park would be a much better alternative if done properly.

  7. Who the hell is buying all these supposedly luxury apartments?
