In a letter earlier on this week addressed to Hon Joseph Muscat, Leader of the Opposition, GRTU Malta Chamber of SMEs expressed its concerns about comments made by him, stating that he would be ready to reinstate the Monti Hawkers in Merchants Street should he become elected as Prime Minister in the next elections.
GRTU has been recognized as an important stakeholder on this issue, under all governments since 1948. After consulting its members in Valletta more especially in Merchants Street and following analysis, GRTU recommended that they should individually and as a group raise their comments directly with Hon Joseph Muscat, given that the issue has now gone to a political level and that a meeting is scheduled for the Valletta Business Community to meet the Leader of Opposition in the coming days.
GRTU, as a representative of the majority of shops and businesses in Merchants Street, adviced Hon Joseph Muscat to keep in mind and protect the wellbeing of both the Monti Hawkers and the Business Community who have invested heavily to promote and upgrade their businesses and the street itself.
