Carmel Cacopardo, Deputy Chairman of Alternattiva Demokratika-The Green Party, welcomed the judgement delivered this morning on the Armier illegal constructions. AD has during the past years campaigned actively for the demolition of the Armier shanty town. In fact the issue even formed part of AD’s electoral manifesto for the March 2013 general elections.

Carmel Cacopardo added that the land next to the sea should be accessible to all and not to a select few. As the Minister responsible for the Lands Department, concluded Cacopardo, Joseph Muscat should call in the demolition people next Monday.
