MEPs Daniel Attard and Thomas Bajada were both nominated for the Best Newcomer award. Attard was praised for his strong contributions to the Transport and Tourism Committee, particularly in defending the aviation and maritime industries, and for leading the European Parliament’s Tourism Task Force to promote sustainable tourism.
He was also recognised for his human rights work as Vice-Chair of the Delegation to Iran and for involving youth in his parliamentary initiatives.
Thomas Bajada earned his nomination for his focused work on European water and marine governance. He highlighted the importance of water as not only an environmental concern but a growing economic and geopolitical issue, calling for ambitious, inclusive policy solutions.

The first turtle, named Axil, was spotted between Sa Maison and Haywharf. Crew members from the AFM Maritime Squadron P51 successfully located the turtle, which was then handed over to Nature Trust Malta for further care. According to the Wildlife Rescue Team, “Axil has a partially missing rear left flipper, and is now under veterinary care to assess if there is any infection present and what treatment is required.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, closer to Gozo, another turtle was found in worse condition. With the help of local fisherman John Agius, the team managed to bring the turtle ashore. Named Nathalia, this turtle was discovered with a severe wound to her left front flipper, which was actively bleeding, as well as damage to her left eye.
