Alex Borg seems to be overly enthusiastic about handing public property to real estate developers

—

Among the many events that have gone relatively under the radar in the past few weeks was the application by the real-estate developer of Fort Chambray, Gozo to turn his failed project around by extending his public lease over the fort. Fort Chambray, which was commissioned by  Jacques-François de Chambray in 1749, is now in the hands of Michael Caruana of Fort chambray Ltd.

Michael Caruana took over the fort in 2004 from a Nationalist administration as usually happens, at a great discount. He failed to turn the fort into a touristic attraction, broke his concession agreement, and the Labour government, now, has given him an even better deal.

Incredible. And where’s the Nationalist Party in all of this? It’s in favour. Alex Borg who sits on the National Audit Accounts Committee voted in favour of the government’s proposal.

Incredible times two. We’ve got an Opposition supporting the Labour government’s wreckage of Gozo, yet this is quite in character of Alex Borg and his significant faction in PN. Alex Borg wants to turn PN into another version of the Labour Party.

This is not the first time that Alex Borg has defended Gozitan real-estate developers.

    Those who think that by voting NAZZ they are voting for a positive change are worse than the simpletons who vote LP. The Fort Chambray debacle initiated by the NAZZ in 2005 is a prime example of what lies ahead. Not to mention the legalising of the 40 year old coastal land grab by Angelo Xuereb by parliament for a mere 2m fine, to be paid by installments! The NAZZs can never be trusted. When they eventually assume power they will enter the kitchen and use the same receipes. Maybe just vary the recpices a bit. For me it is better to stick to my devil. At least I can always find my way through the slime and muck.

    Alex Borg is liar. He keeps saying the new concessionaires will be responsible to restore the outer fortifications and that’s not true. The Lands CEO, who was at that committee meeting and spoke at Owen Bonnici’s invitation, said the exact opposite: the government will be doing the restoration and structural works required. And strange thing not a single journalist pointed this out to this utter up-start nincompoop who thinks himself as the next Nationalist leader.
