maltatoday, SUNDAY, 8 FEBRUARY 2015 10 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The PN countered the publication of the email by challenging Prime Minister Joseph Muscat to publish the agree- ment he made with hawker repre- sentatives before the 2013 general election. Earlier yesterday, Busuttil accused Muscat of reaching a secret under- standing with the monti hawkers before the election, to relocate their stalls to Ordnance Street. He said that a future Nationalist government would be willing to con- sult the monti hawkers on a possible relocation of their stalls from Mer- chants' Street. However, he insisted that, under his leadership, the monti would not be relocated to Ordnance Street as is being proposed by the government. He admitted with the press that the previous Nationalist administration had agreed to consider the relocation of the monti to Ordnance Street up to the corner with Republic Street. "However, the relocation wasn't in our electoral manifesto," Busuttil said. "Besides, I'm a new leader and I don't agree with the monti being anywhere on Ordnance Street." Busuttil charged that culture was not a priority for the government, highlighting its decision to transform the Valletta ditch into a car park rather than a garden, the transfor- mation of the Gozo Arts School into an MCAST campus, and its silence over whether the Hamrun music school will be relocated to Valletta "where it deserves to be". "Culture will become a priority under a PN government," Busuttil said. "Indeed, one of our policy fora is specifically dedicated to creativ- ity and culture and we will soon an- nounce proposals for original cul- tural projects," he said. 'Muscat has sold his soul for votes' Busuttil accused Prime Minister Joseph Muscat of reaching a secret understanding with the monti hawk- ers to relocate their stalls to Ord- nance Street before the 2013 general election. "The monti shouldn't be moved to Ordnance Street for cultural, aes- thetic and security reasons," he said. "The new Parliament will be adjacent to Ordnance Street and can't have a monti, with all the security issues it raises, in front of Parliament." "Muscat sold his soul for votes, but I won't," Busuttil said. "Culture is not just about watching perform- ances but is a style of life and part of our identity. If we attack our culture, we'll be attacking our own identity." He pointed out that Muscat had been against the Valletta entrance renovation project from its incep- tion. "The previous administration had commissioned Renzo Piano, the best architect in the world, to redesign Valletta's entrance as a celebration of Maltese culture," Busuttil said. "We invested a lot of time and money in the project, but it is not under assault by a government that never cared for it. Muscat had criticised the project as a waste of money from the start but, for him, €100 million to accom- modate the largest Cabinet in history isn't a waste of money." He also hit out at the government's original design for the new monti stalls. "They were an insult to our intel- ligence and our culture and showed how mediocre this government is," Busuttil said. "Muscat only said that he didn't like the design after the public outrage over it. I appeal to the government to back-track on the monti's relocation as it had done on the stall design."
