1st Of May Celebrations

Labour Party today announced that 1st of May Celebrations are going to be held at Fgura and Paola. By moving celebrations to the South of the island the PL is clearly showing to the residents of the area that as a Party they rally care about the problems that these people are facing on a day to day basis especially today that the Auditor General's report on the Power Station extension showed clear signs of Irregularities.
Citizens from the southern area have been treated as second class citizens for a long time now and some action must be taken by the government to reduce pollution from this area. Environmental assessments reports have continuously shown that these residents are facing continuous health problems because of the heavy pollution in the area.
The situation with the power station extension will continue to degraded the health situation for these residents especially now that it has been confirmed that impact assessments of pollution by the new power station have not been done in the proper way. Citizens from the Southern area of Malta have become the Guinea pigs of this new technology that is going to be tested on Maltese soil.
These Celebrations will kick with a live concert and Joseph Muscat will be addressing those present at De Paul Square (Paola).
