You can see what’s going to happen – the market is going to spread beneath Parliament House

Published: February 4, 2015 at 11:07pm

The market stalls are going to be immediately outside this building – Parliament House – so you can see what’s going to happen, given that the building is elevated. Outside the building is going to become beneath the building.

Bits of market paraphernalia, if not actually the stalls themselves – are going to spread organically beneath Parliament House. Come on, there’s all that space – majtezwel use it.

I’m just picturing that space beneath the building, full of floating, drifting litter and market trash.

    This is a government intent on demeaning the country in a despicable exercise of corrupt power.

    Have the Chinese invented ballot paper that self erases and self marks?

    For the number of horrors out in broad daylight under this Government, how many are we not seeing?

    I’m going to Valletta this weekend to enjoy the peace of this suburb project before they fill it with trash.

    Who knows when it will be again possible to admire its beauty in its silent linearity.

    But we should all know the script by now: two seconds from midnight Batman will come to the rescue.

    That is what I’ve been saying all along.

    The issue is whether there should be a market in Ordnance Street, and not the design of the stalls.

    Joseph Muscat is being helped by Jason Micallef in this. They can disagree on detail but Jason will still vote Labour.

    Before the election, Muscat promised the hawkers the stretch of Ordnance street between Old Bakery and Republic Street.

    Now take Kenneth Zammit Tabona, he was against Gonzi’s roofless theatre and switched sides.

    Now switchers like Kenneth are in a worse position, so to speak, because the roofless theatre is still without a roof and to add insult to injury they will have a market selling underwear and fake Chinese products side by side of the “roofless” theatre.

    The hawkers shouting, and loud music next door to the theatre, would be an interesting setup for theatre-goers.

    Now can anyone tell us where the hawkers will park their vans? I guess they will have some reserved parking.

    A government who is personally insulting a great and famous Architect and most of all insulting our neighbouring country – Italy. And what for – VOTES. Shame on you Mr. Prime Minister and those who are agreeing to this move.

    There will be more than 50 Shades of Grey coloured garbage and carton and paper under the Maltese Houses of Parliament.
    Cannot immagine the smell and shouting.
