Almost 7K Signatures In 2 Days For Sofia Public Inquiry Petition

Almost 7K Signatures In 2 Days For Sofia Public Inquiry Petition
Jul 9 2023 Share

An online petition has been started by Isabelle Sofia Bonnici, the mother of the late Jean Paul, who died after a building collapse in Corradino, with over 6,900 signatures reached as of time of writing. 

The petition urges members of parliament in Malta to support the launch of a public inquiry into the death of Jean Paul, after it was announced that a magisterial inquiry will be launched instead. 

This call has been made by Sofia’s mother, friends, activists and many of the Opposition’s MPs, with the petition aiming to reach 7,500 signatures. 

‘As a mother who lost her only son at Ta’ Kordin Tragedy, I still have questions that only a Public Inquiry will answer. I would like to be able to ask questions and play an active role in the Inquiry. In Malta, it is only through a Public Inquiry that I can do this,’ wrote Isabelle.

The call to action was echoed by various PN MPs, including Jerome Caruana Cilia and Eve Borg Bonello, who continue to mount pressure on the government to open a public inquiry as they question who is ‘being defended’ behind the magisterial inquiry.

If you wish to sign and support, you can find the petition here.

Jul 9 2023 Share

For the past few days, planet earth has been hitting and breaking temperature records as heatwaves sizzle various countries for the summer season. 

The average temperature of the planet hit an unofficial record high once again, making it the fourth day in a row such a hot milestone was reached. 

The average temperature hit 17.23C on Thursday, surpassing the record set on Tuesday and Wednesday, data from the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer reveals. 

With the previous record of 17.01C set on Monday, the average temperature recorded includes measurements from places like Jingxing, China, which recorded a sweltering 43.3C, as well as Antartica, which recorded unusually high temperatures 4.5C above normal this week. 

The Maine data, despite not being validated by the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), was still regarded as a troubling sign of climate change.
