Protestors brought out a banner during Finance Minister Clyde Caruana’s introduction to the highly anticipated budget speech that is expected to announce “historic” tax cuts.
The protest comes in the midst of controversy regarding cabinet’s decision to review St George’s Bay’s local plans which will reportedly accommodate the developer of the Villa Rosa project who has a pending planning application to drastically increase the height and footprint of this controversial development.
