A new environmental lobby has called on all MPs to declare their stand on construction outside development zones, particularly in relation to plans for a new university on a contentious site in Marsascala.

Front Ħarsien ODZ said it believes Maltese citizens have every right to know where their representatives stand with regard to these developments, and who of their representatives is prepared to defend public land.

The group said it demanded transparency and strength of will from Maltese MPs.

Labour MPs Marlene Farrugia and Godfrey Farrugia were among those who lent their support to the new lobby group when it was unveiled.
