Ramla Development - Blasphemy

After a long day in Malta , many Gozitans including myself, get a terrible headache which wonder of wonders disappears as soon as we get to Gozo. Gozo gives you a sense of peace and serenity and its natural beauty sooths all sores of a terrible day.

Ramla l-Hamra is one of the best assets of our beautiful island. I remember learning to swim at Ramla and spending long days on the picturesque beach with family and friends, enjoying the vastness of the beach itself and the background. I used to wonder how vegetation could be so close to the beach as if trees and plants grew in the sand.

This natural beauty is now threatened. We already lost Marsalforn and Xlendi. Hondoq ir-Rummien and Mgarr ix-Xini Valley are all under siege with MEPA’s blessing. The people who should be guarding Gozo from insensible and unsustainable development, or better say, posing as such, seem to side these big fish while showing a firm hand with the small one.

Policies are there to be applied and not moulded to fit some and not others. The Ramla l-Hamra issue shocked all the country and no wonder people are protesting and petitioning to authorities regarding this blasphemy.
