David Pace O'Shea, a resident of the coastal resort of Sliema, is appealing for decent clothing from people arriving on Malta. In this way, he protests against tourists turning the city centre into a beach and walking around scantily dressed.

Beachwear only on the beach

The resident of the coastal resort placed signs in various locations with illustrations of crossed-out bikinis and men's swimwear. "Beachwear only on the beach," said O'Shea, who also approached the mayor of Sliema for support of his initiative.

The protest organizer called for stricter enforcement of existing regulations in Malta concerning decency in public places. One article of the criminal code considers it a crime to "appear naked or in indecent attire."
