latest comment from adrian borg cardona, 20/09/2021 16:01: Typical Labour mafia at work. Even though Muscat’s cabinet was found guilty of creating the impunity that allowed the murder of Daphne following a campaign of hatred and vilification, they continue with the same fascist tactics. They are trying to do the same to Prof Cassar. They need to realise that the truth will always come out in the end

latest comment from adrian borg cardona, 20/09/2021 12:55: It’s very clear that Robert Abela does not like the free and independent media. It’s clear he does not believe in being scrutinised.

latest comment from Vani, 20/09/2021 18:21: And what if the landlords don't want to sell, or slap an exorbitant price on the property? How can the government decide to buy a private property against the wishes, or below the valuation set by the owners? Where are we here, North Korea? Or is this just the opening salvo of the pre-election rash of promises that cannot and will not be honoured? Labour bullshit, in other words?

latest comment from emmanuele grech, 20/09/2021 17:59: You evidently are not informed. There are documented cases, and not a few, when the passport was denied by Malta's IIP procedures, and then the same persons acquired the passport through another EU member state, notably Greece and Spain.

latest comment from citybug, 19/09/2021 15:41: When can we hope for our one general hospital Mater Dei to fullfill a full-time out-patient service too? With an exploding population, and Dr Fearne at the helm, it's high time.
