Oftentimes, the aquatic mammals are spotted majestically gliding across the Maltese Islands by fisherman, swimmers and those casually enjoying a day on the boat, and this experience is no different.

A video sent to Malta Daily shows a majestic duo of dolphins glide their way across Marsaxlokk’s coast, close to the Hofriet fish farm, before they disappeared into the depths in the blink of an eye.

Have you seen any dolphins this year?

“Who are you protecting?” Eve Borg Bonello Questions Government On Sofia Public Inquiry

Jul 8 2023

On Friday, Nationalist Party MP Eve Borg Bonello took to Parliament to question the government as to who “they are trying to protect” with regards to the lack of public inquiry into the Jean Paul Sofia tragedy.

“A citizen who was only guilty of waking up in the morning and going to work”, Borg Bonello described Sofia, who tragically lost his life at age 20 after a multi-storey building collapsed while he was working.

Borg Bonello went on to highlight a misdirection of justice, highlighting how a youth erecting a banner calling for justice for Jean Paul, was arrested on orders of the Police Commissioner.

Beyond the Parliament’s walls, a national front calling for a public inquiry into the tragedy is being held, with Jean Paul’s mother Isabelle Bonnici supported by various organisations across Malta.

In the meantime, Bonnici has set up a change.org petition titled ‘Petition to Members of Parliament to support a Public Inquiry on the death of Jean Paul‘, so if you want to support the cause make sure you sign.
