Alternattiva Demokratika has noted the consultation document issued by Government on ODZ land use policies. In particular it has noted that agri-tourism is the justification being brought forward to start the assault on virgin land on what has to date been agricultural land.

Carmel Cacopardo, AD Deputy Chairperson and Spokesperson on Sustainable Development and Home Affairs, stated that AD will be examining in detail the 51 page document and will submit its reactions to government during the consultation period.

Alternattiva Demokratika innutat id-dokument ta’ konsultazzjoni dwar il-politika ghall-użu tal-art barra miz-zoni ta’ żvilupp. B’mod partikolari innutat li l-agrituriżmu hu l-iskuża l-ġdida biex jibda l-assalt fuq dik li sal-lum kienet art verġni użata għall-agrikultura.

Carmel Cacopardo, Deputat Chairperson u kelliemi għall-Iżvilupp Sostenibbli u l-Intern, qal li Alternattiva Demokratika se tkun qed teżamina d-dokument ta’ 51 paġna u se tissottometti l-veduti tagħha lill-Gvern waqt il-perjodu ta’ konsultazzjoni.
