Bernard Grech invites Jon Mallia to join Nationalist Party

Mar 11 2022

“Politics needs everyone, better yet, the country needs everyone.” Grech stated that before 2017, he used to believe that it is enough to speak publicly, make appearances on TV and radio and post on Facebook, but now understands that it is not enough and that is why he entered into politics.

The PN leader went on to invite Mallia to continue speaking publicly, as he already does, telling him that if he wants a platform to usher in change, he has a right to it.

Mallia seemed reluctant to give Grech an answer, especially given the fact that he remains critical of all individuals regardless of political orientation, as we have seen on his podcast.

WATCH: Żaren tal-Ajkla pledges ‘€4,000 to each woman for breast implants’

Mar 11 2022

As Malta’s political parties continue presenting their respective electoral manifestos to the ever-eager voters of the Maltese Islands, independent candidate Nazzareno Bonnici, better known as Żaren tal-Ajkla, has presented a proposal of his own.

In a recently-surfaced video which seems to have been recorded on Women’s Day, the independent candidate said that if the people put their trust in him and he is elected to Maltese Parliament, he will be giving €4,000 to each woman for breast implants.

Bonnici has been contesting general elections since 2013 and will also be on this year’s ballot on the 3rd and 13th districts. Back in 2019, he had received 47 first count votes on the 2nd district, 35 votes on the 3rd district and 41 votes in the 13th district.

Malta’s electoral commission has announced that special arrangements have been made for individuals who are COVID-positive or in quarantine between March 12th and March 25th.

It was announced that these individuals may exercise their right to vote in one of the special centres opened for such reasons.

Voters who wish to make use of such service must declare the need for it by sending an email to [email protected], with the legal term for such a declaration closing on Friday 18th March at 12PM.

People arriving from abroad and must quarantine must ensure that arrangements are made and not leave until the last minute to travel or pick up their voting documents. Anyone who, for particular reasons, does not pick up their voting document until Thursday 24th March will not be allowed to vote. Further information may be acquired by calling 22261010 between 8am and 2pm or between 3pm and 8pm everyday until March 26th and questions may be addressed by sending an email to [email protected]

The country’s solutions are in the PN’s electoral manifesto, says Bernard Grech

Mar 10 2022

Fresh the party leaders debate at the University of Malta, PN leader Bernard Grech spoke to a group of party supporters at this evening’s event in Għargur.

Grech began by once again highlighting the Labour Party’s ‘copying’ of PN proposals, going on to state that PM & Labour leader Robert Abela has no reason to call them ‘of the past’ as Grech has only been in politics for one and a half years. Addressing the PN’s own proposals, the party leader stated that the country’s solutions are in the PN’s electoral manifesto, all while others have ‘failed to present their own electoral programme’.

He went on to argue that the only proposal which isn’t copied is the 25% decrease in tax, stating that it is being made up for in theft from water and electricity bills. “The choice is between those who, in the past, have failed to create a single economic sector and consider people flies and those who want to give power to the people”, Grech stated.

Before concluding, the Nationalist Party leader expressed his pride in the 70 fresh and capable candidates representing the PN and invited the audience to join him in giving them a round of applause, ending with the statement “you can change the future which others haven’t even offered you.”
