Several organisations will hold a Press Conference to state that an informed discussion about the Malta-Gozo tunnel has yet to start.
Whilst fully acknowledging the need to address mobility challenges experienced by Gozitan workers and students, there is currently a total lack of studies and information on the utility and impacts of the tunnel. Indeed, it has not even been established whether a tunnel will actually facilitate mobility between the two islands.
The organisations will state that a decision on whether a tunnel is the best solution to mobility challenges should only be taken after independent, serious and holistic studies have been conducted. We will insist that the public has a right to participate in meaningful consultation, and to be provided with information on this subject to develop an informed opinion.
Everyone is welcome to join us in this Press Conference.

Numru ta’ għaqdiet se jagħmlu Konferenza Stampa sabiex jgħidu li diskussjoni infurmata dwar il-mina bejn Malta u Ghawdex għadha lanqas biss bdiet.
Filwaqt li nagħrfu l-ħtieġa li jiġu ndirizzati d-diffikultajiet li għandhom ħaddiema u studenti Għawdxin biex jaqsmu lejn Malta u lura, ninnutaw ukoll li bħalissa hemm nuqqas totali ta’ studji u informazzjoni dwar l-utilità u l-impatti tal-mina, u għadu ma ġiex stabbilit li l-mina filfatt se tiffaċilita l-mobilita’ bejn iż-żewġ gżejjer.
L-għaqdiet se jgħidu li d-deċiżjoni dwar jekk il-mina hijiex l-aħjar soluzzjoni għal dawn id-diffikultajiet fil-mobilità għandha tittieħed biss wara li jkunu saru studji indipendenti, serji u li jaraw l-istampa kollha. Se ninsistu li l-pubbliku għandu dritt li jipparteċipa f’konsultazzjoni u li jkollu l-informazzjoni neċessarja dwar dan is-suġġett sabiex ikun jista’ jibni opinjoni infurmata.
Kulħadd huwa mistieden jingħaqad magħna f’din il-Konferenza Stampa.
