PM Abela does not give straight answer on Alfred Sant suggestion

Prime Minister Robert Abela on Monday did not give a straight answer as to whether he agreed or disagreed with Labour MEP Alfred Sant’s suggestion that people should not be called up again to...

latest comment from Vani, 03/06/2024 11:56: Abela knows that if he shows anything except blind solidarity with Korruptus and his Many Thieves, he'll be kicked out of the party. He isn't secure enough to make a stand against lowly Nuxellina who is making him look foolish, let alone start making any waves against the Burmurrad Don.

Abela’s rallying cry to voters: ‘Don’t let anyone decide for you’

Prime Minister and Labour Party leader Robert Abela’s rallying cry to voters less than a week before the European and local council elections was again focused on voter abstention, amidst the...

latest comment from Frans Camilleri, 03/06/2024 10:17: A senseless comment. Alfred Sant abstained because he was aiming to deligitimise the result through a low turnout. That he didn't succeed does not mean thst he wanted others to decide for him:; otherwise he would have voted no.

A country shaken, an overshadowed election... the deal that rocked the islands

The infamous hospitals deal has shaken Malta. From the courts annulling the concession agreement that had seen three public hospitals passed on to be run by private companies, to criminal charges...

latest comment from mohhmiftuh, 02/06/2024 11:34: Iz-zewg partiti kbar permezz tal-kampanja elettorali taghhom bidlu din l-elezzjoni ghall-parlament ewropew f' guri fejn il-votanti, li l-bicca l-kbira taghhom m'ghandhom ebda kompetenza legali, jridu jiddeciedu jekk l-imputati humiex hatja jew innocenti. Tista' tghid li l-kandidati kollha li hargu ghal din l-elezzjoni ftit li xejn taw informazzjoni, u jekk ma jafux jindagaw, x'inhuma l-proposti jaharqu dwar diversi oqsma li bhala membri tal-Unjoni jolqtuna, li mistennija jitressqu ghad-diskussjoni u possibilment ghall-approvazzjoni tal-parlament Ewropew u jghidulna x'se tkun il-pozizzjoni taghhom jekk ikunu MEPs u jintalbu jiddeciedu. Nispera li l-gravy train m'hix il-motivazzjoni ewlenija li qed timbuttahom lejn il-parlament ewropew.

MUT postpones vote on new collective agreement proposal after teachers express reservations

The Malta Union of Teachers has postponed a vote which was to be taken among its members on a new collective agreement that it had reached with the government last week. After months of...

latest comment from Christian S Borg, 01/06/2024 16:28: The MUT is still hiding the actual text of the draft agreement from its members. It is high time that educators realize that the current mishaps are a deja vu of what happened in 2017 when the MUT presented misleading percentage increases and even took out the financial pages from the draft it presented to its own delegates (shop stewards)!
