All ethical Maltese should sign this petition and assert the fact that we are not ready to accept this barefaced robbery which is being encouraged by our politician's lack of action: http://www.change.org/petitions/malta-remove-illegal-boathouses-from-our-island

seems here even if they got vote to get 1 seat it would not make any diffrent because they way the voting is here they would have to get around 30 seats and they are not going to do that

i feel sorry for them and they should keep on fighting

good luck AD

AD is fantastish !! They know that at this stage nobody will make anything. So why raise the issue now. It would be better if AD raise the issue on the appointment of the new Prime Minister. Governments are more prone to take drastic measures on day one of their legislature, rather than on the 12th hour of their legislature. Think positive and out of the box, please.

If we don't support the AD this time, it will be to late for another 5 years,because there will be nobody against the shanty beach villages we have, actually they increase because if they can have an illegal beach house, so then everybody can.

if MEPA was doing their job properly there would be no illegal boathouses anywhere in Malta

Armier illegal squatters are a national shame and so are the political parties who condone them.
It is ridiculous, socially unjust and a national shame that this matter has been left pending for decades by successive Gavernments sustained with the tacit consent of the Oppostion party.

Where are the "par idejn sodi" and/ or what is so "pregressive and moderate" in this social injustice??

Henry S Pace

How come that these boathouses were built without a permit and without any legal title ?

To add insult to injury the authorities suppl;ied the services and utilities.

How right you are!
PL cannot back you! This day-light robbery began in their term of office!

The Marfa Local plan would require a warren of tunnels under Marfa ridge to house sewage systems, water and electricity supply. Every 50m of proposed cycle path has toilet and wash facilities provided; caravan and camping prounds would be is similarly equipped; beachrooms as well. Why not sweep the place clean and leave it at that?

It is such a shame that the situation at Armier and other places has been for so long. The Prime Minister held special meeting with the Armier lobby just before the election in order to obtain votes.
This is a Prime Minister who puts personal and party interests before national. Hopefully his ruse will not work and the P.N. will lose the next election. They deserve to.

A. MICALLEF

Oct 20th 2012, 15:19

And both parties remain silent on this issue, but both of them Joseph Muscat and Lawrence Gonzi
should know that many, many thousands of Maltese voters will consider this when voting. If the PN
and PL choose to support these illegalities, than we choose to vote AD.

I agree 100% with Mr Pavia, but also not forgetting that shanty town just under Dar Il Mediterran which greet every cruise liner entering and leaving Grand harbour.

Should we be surprised by those people who occupied public land with impunity? The answer is plain simple, no! This for the reasons that many ex- ministers and politicians did the same, one way or another. I remember one such ex-minister who incorporated a piece of land with his plot of land, ''because it was lying there unused and nobody cared for it!'' The other reason is that powerful vote!

Robert Cassar

It is not just Armier which should be given back to the people, but whatever public land has been misappropriated over the years.

Adrian E. Camilleri

Oct 20th 2012, 13:31

YES, yes, yes, that is the message the majority of the people ask the political parties, PN as well as PL, and AD toinclude in their party's manifest i.e. "Armier should be given back to the people", after all that is PUBLIC LAND. Does either of the two major parties have the guts to act on this? The people want that land restored to its former state. Which party will act first?

Peter Murray

Oct 20th 2012, 13:29

noble sentiments and ones to which I totally concur.However,the big boys will be obviously be striking their own pre-election deals to ensure the votes of these illegal occupants and land-grabbers and thereby maintain the staus quo-despite shedding crocodile tears over this predicament

Chris Sammut

Oct 20th 2012, 13:02

And how long we been hearing about this story? A government after another with no intention of doing anything cause votes are at stake!

anthony sultana

Oct 20th 2012, 12:29

Beach rooms are as bad as the illegal beach houses,they made the area looks like shanty town.The green party you have my full support on this one.AD is the only party that fit for this time around, even as a protest to the other parties we must vote for AD if we want better living in our tiny islands.Due to politics mixed with businees in the past, the future is going to be the same like Greece

ANTHONY PAVIA

Oct 20th 2012, 12:26

If AD were to organise a petition to favour their position on this issue, an extra national election vote should be given to all those that sign it.

AD is right. When some one wants to erect a camp or caravan for some time during summer mr sindku sends in the wardens to issue hefty fines. And then these people have been occuping all of those areas for all the years, with mr. sindku saying nothing. Clear all those illegal villas from those areas.

Paul Caruana

Oct 20th 2012, 12:10

Well, it is certainly in the hands of some people....who have no intention to handing it back to the rest of us!

In agree the politicians of the past avoid what needs to be done to evict these squatters from public land and make these places beautiful for all once more.

The people in power always do what is easy and not what is right!

It is time for those in power to listen to the people and not the special interest groups!

AD is the only political party which talks straight and clear. They were the first to lobby for divorce and gay rights openly. They are the only ones to talk clearly against hunting. They are the only ones who say that the Armier slums should be abolished! No wonder they get few votes, but at least they are honest. Whether you agree or disagree, you know where you stand with them.

The bay should be restored to its natural state, no boat houses, no beach rooms, no man made anything. None of this is required. In a natural state it would be a superb advertisement for Malta's positive u-turn on environmental sensitivity.

Franco Farrugia

Oct 20th 2012, 11:39

AD is correct. None of the two larger political parties will have the guts to state what AD states and that's an added problem we have in this country.
