Sandra Gauci to run for European Parliament election in 2024

Sep 14 2022

ADPD’s deputy chair Sandra Gauci announced that she will be contesting the European Parliament election in 2024.

Gauci had contested the general election for the first time with ADPD in March of this year. With the EP election due for mid-2024, six MEPs will be chosen from Malta as representatives.

Writing an opinion piece for the Times of Malta, Gauci pledged to be the voice of the people and to not resort to the ‘brand of Maltese tribalism which has ‘graced’ the European Parliament as representatives thought ‘it wise to extend their village bickering to a wider audience.’

If this proves successful for Gauci, she will sit as part of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance in the European Parliament.

Gauci’s public presence and career began with her ‘ABS News’ as a vlogger, providing commentary on current affairs.

Queen Elizabeth’s funeral could cost the UK around £6 billion

Sep 14 2022

The UK faced a massive loss following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on the 8th of September 2022. However, the country could face another loss of billions to hold the late monarch’s funeral.

The funeral is set for the 19th of September at Westminster Abbey, and thanks to factors like funeral expenses, King Charles III’s coronation and bank holidays, the nation is set to face a massive bill after the whole ordeal is completed.

While an exact figure for the Queen’s publicly funded state funeral won’t be revealed, the cost of previous state funerals suggest that her ceremony will come with a massive price tag.

The Queen’s Mother’s funeral in 2022 was thought to have cost around £5.4 million and the funeral for Princess Diana in 1997 was priced at around £3 to £5 million.

Earlier this week, the Economic Times reported that the Queen’s passing may cost around £6 billion. The outlet pointed to how the Queen’s portrait being on coins and stamps will now have to be changed.

Even British passports will have to have alterations made as statements made in travel documents alluding to ‘Her Majesty’ will need to be changed to ‘His Majesty.’
