The Times of Malta

Nationalist Party leader Simon Busuttil vows that the party will stand in the way of development on virgin land at Zonqor Point. Busuttil reiterated his appeal to the prime minister to find an alternative location to the ODZ during the PN General Council meeting yesterday. PN renews its claim to support for the anti-development movement that had been created over recent weeks saying that the government would have to ‘steamroll over’ all these entities.

PN leader Simon Busuttil says the future of the party is the environment at the PN General Council on Sunday. Busuttil stressed that politicians have a duty towards the environment; as respecting the environment is equal to respecting and safeguarding the future. Busuttil said that the Zonqor Point project unmasks Prime Minister Joseph Muscat for what he truly is. Singer Gianluca Bezzina and KSU president Gayle Lynn Callus also spoke at the event.

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat yesterday declared that an agreement had been reached between the government and Skanska, which frees the company from any possibility of further procedures. All this was discovered in the wake of the issue of weak concrete at Mater Dei hospital. Muscat described this issue as extremely negative, and he declared that the government s investigating the issue and taking legal advice about whether such an agreement is in fact permissible.

Former Police Commissioner Peter Paul Zammit said that he resigned following a meeting between himself and the Prime Minister. “It seems like the Corps didn’t settle in on certain matters,” he said. Zammit denied that his resignation was a consequence of his decision to drop charges pressed against a former client for his assaulting four police officers at the Zabbar police station in 2013. He added that it was the prime minister’s right to choose whoever her wants as police Commissioner.
