MDA President Sandro Chetcuti, in an interview with The Sunday Times of Malta on 20 November, 2016, said he understood residents’ anger over plans to expropriate their property in Paceville.
In the interview titled ‘Paceville expropriations must be at right value for residents’, Mr Chetcuti argues that the Paceville residents should also be compensated for the sacrifices they are committing to contribute to the zone and should not simply receive their property’s current market value.
The full interview, as published in the SToM, is reproduced below.
