More lead balloons for Gozo

Abstract

Labour leader Joseph Muscat has once again dismayed and disillusioned all those who are against more ‘brick and mortar’ development in Gozo by talking about a likely extension of the Mġarr yacht marina once the party is in power. The Gozo airstrip still seems to be on the cards for the Labour Party too, disguised as “providing better access for Gozitans”, though the party was quick to partly retract this later, saying the helicopter service was its preferred option. This follows similar talk by the Labour Party leader of “major projects” in Gozo, for which red tape will be waived, presumably referring to the Ta’ Ċenċ project or similar projects.
