Destiny’s Eurovision song is finally out and we are vibing hard

Mar 15 2021

After much anticipation and the unfortunate faith of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, Destiny’s Eurovision song for 2021 is finally out and it’s a definite vibe.

Je Me Casse is an uptempo bop all about woman empowerment and it brings together influences from various musical genres such as pop, electro-swing and gospel, with a catchy drop we’ll definitely be humming for months to come.

The song is written and produce by highly-acclaimed, internationally-respected artists and songwriters Malin Christin, Amanuel Dermont, Nicklas Eklund and Pete Barringer, who have worked with a myriad of artists around the world, from the Eurovision scene and beyond.

Mellieha councillor condemns egoism that killed hedgehog

Mar 15 2021

After a hedgehog was found killed in Selmun by a mouse trap, Mellieha councillor Gabriel Micallef took to FaceBook to condemn the act and the egoism and disrespect towards the environment. The species has been protected in Malta since 1993, with an almost threatened status. Traps like this one are always a danger to tiny creatures foraging around. Micallef highlighted the death of the hedgehog as a lack of respect towards the Maltese natural environment.

Dalgħodu f’Selmun. Egoiżmu u diżrispett lejn l-ambjent. Veru. Ir-raba’, il-ħdura, il-pajsaġġ, u xi qanfud ma…

Micelles also stated how the countryside and hedgehogs will not fill up one’s pockets with money but they still provide peace and a sense of relief from the stress of the world. With traps like these being yet another danger to hedgehogs along with cars, dogs and overall environmental decline due to development, the status of the Algerian hedgehog, Malta’s only species, is deemed to be immensely endangered.

Spain to trial four day work week

Mar 15 2021

Spain has decided to trial a four-day working week which could be in effect as early as this autumn after agreeing to a new pilot programme. With the COVID-19 pandemic to thank for the idea, the proposal is aimed at boosting employment and productivity during work hours. The programme was put forward by a small left-wing political party, Más País, and Spain’s government allegedly accepted a trial run.

Iñigo Errejón, the party’s president, exclaimed his excitement over the new programme getting a chance, whilst also stating that ‘European funds should also serve to reorient the economy towards improving health, caring for the environment and increasing productivity.’

The vaccination quest continues

Mar 15 2021

Malta continues to issue out vaccination jabs for the population in hopes that the COVID-19 pandemic is further mitigated, with a vision of an end to the spread in sight. So far, 122,366 vaccines have been administered, with 39,695 being second doses. The Public Health officials, front-line workers and hospital staff have been battling COVID-19 for over a year and the vaccine, as Health Minister Chris Fearne has stated, offers Malta and the world a chance to push back instead of simply defending with further measures.

The road ahead is still one paved with responsibility and sacrifice, especially those workers addressing the pandemic directly. Authorities are working tirelessly to carry out vaccinations for all those in need and the rest of the population. As lines continue to form outside vaccination centres such as various University of Malta lecture halls, the public health ministries remind everyone to keep to the mitigation protocols so that COVID-19 may soon be a thing of the past.
