David Casa Calls Out Labour Party’s ‘Mixed Messages on Abortion

Apr 12 2024

Nationalist Party MEP David Casa has recently taken to social media to criticise the Labour Party’s stance on abortion in Malta. In a recent video, Casa accused the Labour Party of “deception and inconsistency” in their approach.

He pointed out that while the Labour Party has publicly opposed abortion in Malta, a resolution was signed by a representative of the same party, with only half of the Labour delegation voted against this resolution.

Casa emphasised that the Nationalist Party firmly opposes abortion and challenged the Labour Party to clarify its true intentions regarding this issue.

The PN & EPP MEP expressed his concerns about the Labour Party’s mixed messages and is awaiting an explanation from the Prime Minister. He questioned whether the Prime Minister was aware that only half of his party’s delegation opposed the resolution.

In another post, Casa reiterated that abortion should remain a national competency and proudly stated his vote against the measures supported by a Labour Party representative. He calls for greater transparency from the Labour Party on their actual agenda concerning abortion.

Ħal Far Operators Relocated As Part Of Car Track Project

Apr 11 2024

Two operators in the Ħal Far industrial zone, Attrans and White Brothers, are undergoing relocation as part of the car track project. Minister for Education, Sports, Youth, Research, and Innovation Clifton Grima, along with Minister for the Economy, Investment, and Strategic Projects Silvio Schembri, recently visited the site where these two operators will be relocated following the termination of their lease by INDIS.

This site, spanning approximately 27,000 square meters, is critical for both companies operating in the transport and logistics sector, making it essential that their new location remains within the same area.

This relocation process ensures a seamless transition for both operators. Minister Clifton Grima emphasized the collaborative effort with various entities.

“The work on the car track is progressing smoothly, and to ensure that we achieve our goals, it is crucial that we work with other important contributors. Among these are individuals who have land that needs to be transferred to SportMalta for the development of the track circuit.

This land is therefore an integral part of what will become the Sports Complex for those who are passionate about this sport in our country.” Minister Silvio Schembri thanked INDIS for leading this relocation.

“This project underscores the importance of the car track project, as well as that of private operators. With INDIS’s involvement, we are closer to realizing the dream of the track, and at the same time, we ensure that the operators being relocated experience as little inconvenience as possible, allowing their operations to continue smoothly during the transition.”

The process involved approximately 1,500 truckloads of earthworks, costing around €1.5 million.
