Former MLP general secretary Jimmy Magro is taking the initiative, in his personal capacity, to try and set up a foundation to spearhead much needed restoration of Fort St Elmo.
The foundation, he told timesofmalta.com. would seek funding from the EU and other sources.
"This country is privatising the shipyard and the importation of petroleum, and it should also consider the privatisation of the renovation of abandoned places, giving them to the people as part of the democratic process," Mr Magro said.
Mr Magro can be contacted at jimmymagro@onvol.net.
