Prime Minister Robert Abela has condemned a shocking incident involving a migrant worker who was injured at work and dumped on a pavement which happened earlier today. “This attitude will...

latest comment from Francis Saliba, 28/09/2021 17:03: “This attitude will not be tolerated under any circumstances,” Abela. Thank God for small mercies in this amoral corrupted society that has stooped to decriminalise the vulgarity of blasphemy and the vilification of Malta's official religion (among all the others). It would appear that hell itself has become the limit.

Just for checking EU online papers with QR codes by hand is not a succesfull story while people cannot hold the required distance of 1.5m and dont know waiting so long time for what? Mixing all together tightly, anyway where coming from. Really awefully in doing so, expecially if there is no reason

Gharghur residents protest against building of flats close to parish church

Għargħur residents yesterday gathered at the "contentious corner" where no less than four blocks rising to 6 storeys are to be built just 70m away from Għargħur parish church...

latest comment from C Xerri, 28/09/2021 11:13: How can one shed tears because the Gharghur Church would no longer be visible from Madliena, when it was the Curia itself that is encouraging more development by selling a big plot of land to developers. The Curia knows quite well that these developers have not bought this plot of land to leave it undeveloped or turn it into a big garden.

Watch: PM wants national debate on electoral districts

Prime Minister Robert Abela said Monday that he wants to see a national debate on electoral reform, including on the electoral districts. Speaking to journalists after a Cabinet meeting, Abela...

latest comment from B Agius, 28/09/2021 12:52: Is this how policy is made in Malta?? I thought that , like it's done in some other countries, if the Government (not just the PM) wants something done and wants the citizens to contribute, it's up to the Government to initiate a paper, perhaps through a constituted expert body, to establish some refernce points . Then present that to Parlaiment upon which then an organised discussion and feedback through constituted bodies can commence. Then Government takes onthe extra information/suggestions etc etc and comes up with a plan. Who cares what one Minister wants even if he is the Prime Minister. What is the Government proposing??
