The Nationalist Party (PN) has expressed concern over the exclusion of Żonqor Point from the management plan of the Marsaskala family park. This sensitive area has had a tumultuous history, having been previously handed over to the American University of Malta (AUM) before being reclaimed by the government.

The PN’s concerns highlight the need for transparency and accountability in the management of public lands, particularly in areas of environmental and cultural significance like Żonqor Point. The party is questioning the rationale behind excluding this area from the park’s management plan, sparking debates about the government’s commitment to preserving Malta’s natural heritage.

Żonqor Point’s history is marked by controversy, with the initial transfer to AUM sparking widespread criticism and protests from environmental groups and local residents. The subsequent reversal of this decision and return of the land to government control had raised hopes for its integration into the nearby family park.

However, the exclusion of Żonqor Point from the park’s management plan has reignited fears about the area’s future. The PN is seeking clarity on the government’s intentions and demanding assurances that this sensitive area will be protected for future generations.

The controversy surrounding Żonqor Point underscores the importance of engaging stakeholders, including local communities and environmental organizations, in decision-making processes related to public lands. It also highlights the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach to managing Malta’s natural resources, balancing development with environmental conservation and community interests.
