For best song, Gjon’s Tears came first, followed by Maneskin’s ‘Zitti E Buoni’. Destiny’s ‘Je Me Casse’ placed 4th in this category, once again followed by Pravi’s Voila.

Despite health measures were eased, inspections and regulation enforcement was still present to safeguard the public and keep the epidemiological situation of Malta as it is or to improve it.

Jon Mallia speaks out on New Zealand’s transgender weightlifting representative

Jon Mallia speaks out on New Zealand’s transgender weightlifting representative
Jun 22 2021 Share

Public figure Jon Mallia took to Facebook to express his concern about New Zealand sending the first transgender weightlifter to compete in the women’s category. Mallia opened his statement by saying that biology is being subjected to ‘fairytale ideology’, despite being a factor that cannot be changed to fit such ideology. Mallia stated that women who have dreamed since birth of competing and reaching the apex of their particular sport are having their dreams ‘spit on’. This is because they are being forced to compete against people who are ‘physically superior’ due to their masculine process of puberty.

Jon continues by stating that this is a clear disadvantage and asks to be illuminated on why in the past there were two separate categories for men and women in the first place. He says that he has heard people say athletic ability far supersedes physical strength. He also asks why in sprinting, the running time for women never reached the same level as that of men.

Jon finished his statement by saying that eventually, a woman having to fight a transgender woman will end up with a ‘wrecked cranium’. He said that the liberal project is cannibalising itself in the same way Maximilien Robespierre, an 18th century French statesman, was executed due to the French Revolution. ‘We lost our way. We’re moving backwards’ ended Jon.
