I was saddened to read Martin Galea's presentation on behalf of Din l-Art Ħelwa regarding the monstrous proposals relating to the re-development of St John's (August 27). As a founder-and-life-member of Din l-Art Ħelwa, I never thought I would see the day that this splendid institution would sit on the fence regarding a heritage matter of such momentous importance.
I wonder what our revered founder thinks about all this? Recalling those early days when I was privileged to work with him, I was truly inspired by his vision and love for our heritage. I am absolutely convinced he could never agree to put St John's into play for commercial reasons.
Sorry, Mr Galea, but the ambivalence of your council, however, well meant, does you and them no credit.
