Up to 11 NGOs got together to protest against the planned Villa Rosa development in Paceville. Local Plans are being changed by the government with little push-back by the Opposition to accommodate the development of Garnet Investments by Anton Camilleri (Tal-Franciz).
Some Opposition MPs attended the protest including Karol Aquilina and Albert Buttigieg, but Opposition Leader Bernard Grech is currently being held to scrutiny for allegedly backing the project.
Villa Rosa is a 1920s art nouveau mansion surrounded by a green area that is earmarked for a massive tower development of hotels and luxury residences.
The organisations that took part in the protest were:
Azzjoni: Tuna Artna Lura
BirdLife Malta

Flimkien gฤงal Ambjent Aฤงjar
Friends of the Earth Malta
