FOR A JUST, MODERN, STRONG
AND BEAUTIFUL MALTA
Malta is heading into a new era, and it’s crucial that you take the lead. We’re aiming for a future where our communities are vibrant and genuine, not downtrodden and lifeless. A place where work pays and inspires our youth to make the country more beautiful.
Right now, things might seem bleak and discouraging. But even though I sometimes feel angry and frustrated, I haven’t lost hope—not even a little bit. Europe too can help in making Malta more beautiful. With my experience as the Secretary General of one of the four largest parties in the European Parliament for over six years, I know what we need to do to achieve this.

Is Robert Abela trying to cover up for corrupt officials?Government wants to pass Bill 137 with the intention, it says, of protecting civil servants who make mistakes.I have no problem with honest civil servants committing genuine mistakes being protected.But, in reality, this bill makes no distinction between genuine administrative mistakes and abuse of power or corruption. One concrete example: do you remember when a minister gave her footballer friend a 15000 euro consultancy for a job he understood nothing about?Well, the go-ahead for that illegal job was signed by the permanent secretary in that Ministry.So let's be clear: in such case, this was a severe dereliction of duty by the permanent secretary.It was no genuine administrative mistake but a very conscious act of illegality by a permanent secretary, who wanted to boot lick his minister boss.Bill 137 must be amended to ensure that civil servants with such corrupt behaviour remain directly answerable for their actions. ...

Assisted deathYesterday, the government's 60 days for commenting on the assisted death bill were up.Very fast. Too fast. Yet, important issues have come up.Keeping in mind that members and candidates of Momentum would eventually have a free vote, here is my take on all this.First, the government has to ensure that all available innovative medicines are to be made available in Malta ao that patients have access to the latest cure.When this is in place, a fully functioning palliative cure system has to be set up to offer respite and care for all areas of suffering, on the models used by the Hospice Movement and by Mater Dei Oncology department.When this is fully functional, parliament can debate and legislate on 'living wills".After these three stages have been fully exhausted, only then should parliament debate on a bill which would allow for the possibility of assisted death. ...

The Sliema-Bugibba-Gozo ferry is good news for the environment....if we do it well.First of all, we must ensure a fair tender process where everybody can compete on a level playing field.Till now, a number of these ferry tenders have been awarded to the usual PL donor bazuzlu, who has made millions in government favours.Secondly, a condition in the contract should be that by 2032 the ferry operating the route must be 100% fossil fuel free.How? Just follow in the footsteps of the Swedes and the Danes. Read here:Swedish ferry company Stena Line plans to start operating two fossil-free battery-powered vessels on the route between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn in Denmark no later than 2030.Stena Elektra will be the world’s first fossil-free RoPax vessel of its size and will measure approximately 200 metres in length and combine a passenger capacity of 1,000 with 3,000 lane metres freight capacity.Come on Malta: this is the way forward.AUSTAL AUSTRALIA AND GOTLAND SIGN MOU TO DEVELOP DESIGN FOR 130 METRE HIGH-SPEED CATAMARAN | Austal: Corporate ...
