Apr 10 2024

If you made your way to Floriana today, you might have noticed banners honouring personalities from Floriana, who made a name for themselves in various sectors of society.

Most notably, as proposed by PN local councillor and minority leader James Aaron Ellul, were Xarabank host Peppi Azzopardi and football coach Ray Żażu Farrugia, who also coached the Maltese National team, whilst also having a successful footballing career as a player. Farrugia also went on to open his own football school.

Azzopaardi and Farrugia weren’t the only established figures from Floriana with banners erected.

In fact, as proposed by other Floriana local councillors, and as voted by all council members, amongst the established figures, one could also notice banners of Alfred Mansueto, Joan Abela and Hon. MP Davinia Sammut Hili, amongst others.

Do you think every locality should do something like this when celebrating their feast?

Transport Minister Addresses This Morning’s Traffic

Apr 10 2024

Transport Minister Chris Bonett took to social media to address the traffic situation which saw various localities blocked with vehicles.

The Minister explained the two situations separately, seeing as there were traffic jams in both St Julian’s and in Paola.

As for St Julian’s, ‘maintenance works in St. Julian’s had to halt at 5:30 in the morning. I was informed that complications arose during the laying of the concrete, causing one lane to remain closed and creating a bottleneck that resulted in significant traffic.’

The Minister said that the contractor will bear responsibility but that he also understands that work can create complications.

As for Paola, many Muslims in Malta are celebrating Eid fl-Fitr today. Due to this, a large influx of people gathered in the area in celebration.

‘ Transport Malta had a reduced number of Enforcement Officers trying their best to manage the traffic problem, but at one point, we had the blocking of certain lanes near the Mosque. Enforcement officers do not have the authority to physically remove people from the road, so we needed police intervention, and that’s why the situation took a while to return to normal.’

Apologising for any inconvenience caused, the Minister said that he would remain honest and keep communication with public ongoing.

‘Unfortunately, incidents like today happen, although we are doing everything possible to make them less frequent.’
