One Year Of Paid Leave For Parents Proposed By PN

One Year Of Paid Leave For Parents Proposed By PN
Jan 31 2025 Share

The Partit Nazzjonalista (PN) is proposing a bold set of reforms aimed at improving the work-family balance for Maltese and Gozitan families.

The party’s strategy focuses on expanding parental leave, government-paid leave for all workers, and support for childcare and remote working.

One of the key proposals is the expansion of parental leave. Paternity leave will increase from 10 to 15 days to better recognise the growing role of fathers in childcare.

Parental leave will be extended from 8 to 28 weeks, equally divided between both parents and non-transferable, promoting shared responsibility.

Maternity leave will also increase from 18 to 24 weeks, with the last six weeks transferable to the other parent if they wish.

Together, maternity and parental leave would provide families with a total of one full year of paid leave, offering essential flexibility.

In addition, the PN proposes fully government-funded parental, paternity, and maternity leave for all workers, including self-employed individuals.

Payments for parental leave will be at the level of the average salary, significantly higher than the current sick leave rate, and the government will cover the costs to ease the financial burden on employers and businesses.

To further support families, the PN recommends providing financial assistance to parents who choose to stay at home with their children during the second year after birth.

It also suggests offering tax credits to businesses that implement remote working models and encouraging more companies to adopt flexible work policies to boost productivity and employee well-being.

Boyfriend Of Claudia Chessa Speaks Out After Paceville Fall

Boyfriend Of Claudia Chessa Speaks Out After Paceville Fall
Jan 31 2025 Share

Alessio Lupo Rivera, the 27-year-old boyfriend of 18-year-old Claudia Chessa, who fell from a fourth-floor hotel balcony in Paceville last week, described their relationship as “toxic” and admitted frequent arguments.

Rivera, a DJ known as ‘Alewolf’, pleaded guilty to charges of slight bodily harm, causing fear of violence, and drug possession, for which he was fined €250. After his arraignment, he returned to Italy, where authorities are also investigating the incident.

Claudia, from Arzachena (Sassari), is not in life-threatening danger despite suffering serious spinal injuries from the fall.

Her fall from around twelve meters was softened by an awning, and she reassured friends through an Instagram post, calling it a “miracle”.

Claudia, who will undergo surgery on her back, explained to authorities that she jumped to escape Rivera’s aggression, not because of a simple argument.

Her father, Silvano Chessa, insists that Claudia was fleeing violence, having been hit, bitten, and punched by Rivera, and she had previously been slapped by him during another argument. Surveillance footage shows her attempting to escape.

Rivera claims the incident was a result of frequent jealousy-fuelled arguments and denied pushing her, stating she had previously threatened self-harm. Both Maltese and Italian authorities are investigating the case.
