Muscat promises to rehabilitate Marsa power station site
Video: Paul Spiteri Lucas
Joseph Muscat promised this afternoon that a Labour government would convert the site of the Marsa power station into a recreation and commercial zone.
Speaking at the gates of the old power house, the Labour leader said the old Marsa power station would be closed down in the shortest possible time, giving neighbours better air quality. Then the whole site would be returned to the people.
Dr Muscat reiterated his party's commitment to safeguard the jobs of all Enemalta workers, adding that although the proposed new gas plant in Delimara would be run by a private operator it would still use Enemalta workers.
Reacting to the doubts raised by Finance Minister Tonio Fenech on the location of the two large gas storage tanks proposed in the PL plan, Dr Muscat cynically said: "maybe he had a vision from Our Lady."
Dr Muscat said the Labour plan would ensure that Enemalta would start making a profit after years of losses.
If nothing was done and the situation remained unchanged, Enemalta would flounder and workers' jobs would be lost, he said.
2009 PROJECT
In July 2009 the government had also announced a rehabilitation project for the area. It was to have included a 170-berth yacht marina and a 1.5km long promenade at the Marsa menqa (creek).
At the time, minister Austin Gatt said this was a major project to transform a site previously associated with heavy industry into an area for recreation and entertainment.
The project also involved landscaping and the restoration of buildings, including the old Chadwick stores, built by Lord Chadwick, which were to be used for offices.
The project was expected to be taken in hand in 2011 and was to be extended to the old power station once it was closed down.
So far only road works have been taken in hand.

MUSCAT VISITS MARSA FAMILY
After his press conference Dr Muscat visited Roland Bezzina, a 32-year-old nurse, his wife Ritianne and their eight-year-old daughter and seven-month-old baby, at their home in Marsa.
This was the first of a series of home visits Dr Muscat will be carrying out.
The Bezzina family were chosen for the first visit because they would be one of 103,000 families who would benefit from a 30 per cent reduction rate in utility bills through the Labour Party’s proposals, the PL said.

But we do not want to go there again. Just reminding /informing you of facts and before you or anybody else say anything about this; remember it was our Archbishop that said that THAT was a mistake by our church. Stick to the essence of the message, if you don’t agree with it. No not try to fool people. I believe that we all know at least a little bit about modern Maltese history.

Seems to me you are either too young to remember or you have a short memory! Who was it that used religion for political benefits? Do you remember the slogans, Vote labour and Go to hell! That cost the labour an election victory then.

Malta has descended in a sorry state where the people have no choice but to vote for extreme capitalism or not vote at all! The PL is proposing what big European nations, such as France, avoided to do, privatize electricity! The PL is suggesting that our economy, our industry, our tourism, our every day life will be at the mercy of the Italian government (interconnecter) and a private company!

JM''s reference to apparitions to Our Lady is uncalled for.....being progressive is not tantamount to taking swipes at anything even remotely connected to faith and such a jibe does nothing to bolster the PL's leader pledge for an all-inclusive society.....pls just stick to the electoral proposals and avoid denigrating colleagues for openly expressing what they belief in
Alfred Falzon

@ Alan Deidun, that jibe has nothing to do with what his so called colleague believes in. Let me remind you that Tonio Fenech said he saw Our Lady crying to convince voters to vote against the divorce. True to his party's history Tonio used our beliefs to try to win a lost political cause. The PN wants the PL to publish their research, but Tonio is showing no research to support his objections.

Yes the power station should come down and investment made to attract the exploding number of mega yachts in the world. Malta has the water frontage and private investors lining up to build facilities for these yachts.
Perhaps someone in politics should look at what an average yacht and its crew pour into the Maltese economy on a daily basis both financially and in employment of local firms

This electoral campaign will go down in history for the record of vows and promises .
May they all be fulfilled because the worst thing one can do is promise what is not possible to fulfil.
Good luck Dr.Muscat...In five years time you will be judged by what you did and not by what you said as Dr.Gonzi will be judged now.

JM's comment about visions from Our Lady are really not appreciated especially coming from the man who wants to be PM in a couple of weeks time. Is this the Malta Taghna ta' kullhadd or whatever that Labour wants it to be.
But then again the Nationalists have a different DNA from Labour and Labour's greatest enemy is the PN. More of the same I guess.

"Muscat promises to rehabilitate Marsa power station site".
What a novel idea! At last, something original worth doing AND coming from the Labour Party. Bravo Joseph.
But wait a minute! Was this not a Nationalist government project? As a matter of fact it was delayed only because of delays (caused by the LP) in completing the Delimara extension?
C'mon LP, will you come up with something NEW?
Mr Andrew Camilleri
Jan 9th, 18:12
It was another promise that remains unkept and therefore cannot be claimed by the PN. The LP had no fault in not completing Delimara on time - it has only been commssioned some three weeks ago after numerous faults, bumps, fits and starts. And do you expect an oppostion not to do its job when the whole contract stank -no smoke without fire said the Auditor -remember?
ANTHONY PAVIA
Jan 9th, 18:43
Martinelli, so much like most other projects. The PN proposes, and the PL accomplishes.
Joe M Borg
Jan 10th, 04:38
Pavia. The biggest 'accomplishment' by PL was the removal of VAT. Then they 'accomplished' a higher CET and 33 taxes! PN 'accomplished' the removal or decreasing of 25 of the PL taxes, but watching Superone made you miss these facts!

Probably, by his 'returned to the people', Joseph means that a PL Party Club will be built there! They are used to 'return' places to the people, like Australia House, and other buildings 'returned to the people' by Mintoff, now serving as Party Clubs.
Leslie Darmanin
Jan 9th, 17:01
How can the place be "returned to the people" when it is already owned by the Maltese government?
"A private operator it would still use Enemalta workers" should be translated into - Labour will pressurise Enemalta employees to work for a private foreign company.
Labour plans to privatise the energy industry.
Mintoff must be turning in his grave.
B. Farrugia

"In July 2009 the government had also announced a rehabilitation project for the area. It was to have included a 170-berth yacht marina and a 1.5km long promenade at the Marsa menqa" as per gonzipn credo "Easily said than done" if words built stones Malta would have free housing.
Trust gonzip apologists to say they thought about it first but also Jules Verne dreamt of going to the moon..
J Martinelli

Stop it, m borg. You do not impress anyone who has a few active grey cells.
You know darned well that this project is a Nationalist govt. project & had Joseph and his mottled crew not thrown wrenches in the works, the Marsa PS would be closed & the rehabilitation of the area under way.
This is NOT a Joseph or LP idea. Admit it if you have the minutest streak of honesty.
Smoke & mirror artiste.
Joe M Borg
Jan 9th, 17:37
m borg 'If words built stones, Malta...' Yes, you are right, of course. Does this mean that Joseph will be building the first skyscrapers in Malta? 'Words' he has, and in abundance. Words about Iceland, EU, Euro, Cyprus, VAT, you name it. Most of his 'words' proved a deadend! You MISSED the yacht marina just around the corner, in Dockyard Creek.
Mr Andrew Camilleri
Jan 9th, 18:21
Martinelli, I think it is you who should stop spinning that the LP held up the completion of the new station. Do you honestly expect an opposition in a democracy to hold its silence when there is a big smell of corruption in a contract and certain important matters (change from gas to fuel-oil) remain unexplained? Why were the limits of emissions lowered? Why no explanation?

We are still in day 3 of the campaign and the offensive language used in this case by Muscat highlights the following
1)utter disrespect towards his colleague's religious belief.
2) lack of substance in answering a legitimate question.
3) anti-catholic sentiment
4) an echo of the DNA argument put forward in the last election
In conclusion, the above comment runs counter to his own electoral slogan

Its easy to promise and promise and promise and promise but to make ends meet you need to have the financial backing to carry out all of these promises.

Is this one of the first promise he will not be able to keep??

Couldn't agree with you more. Marsa residents are not fools. They know that the worst years were those when the power station was run on coal during the 70s and 80s when Mintoff and KMB were in power. Ask the mothers raising young children during those years when it was impossible to breath, take your kids out to play or properly dry your clothes without staining them black!

BTW, insejt meta l-power station kienet tahdem bil-faham? 70s, 80s ring a bell?

Nisthajjel lil Gonzi u lil Busittil jghidu lil xulxin madoffi dan Joseph Muscat ser ihhallina bla nifs kemm ghandu pjanijiet ghal futur ta' Malta u kollox lest biex jibda x-xoghol mhux bhal ma konna nahsbu ahna li tpacpic biss ghandu. Ghanhom ragun fil-poster iharsu l-fuq u mhux l-isfel ghax l-isfel jaraw lil dawk il-Maltin kollha rrabjati ghax hallewhom bla flus fil-but.
