Muscat had already stated that she will be releasing a new song called ‘I Am What I Am’ on March 14th, posting a cheeky reply with a telling expression when asked if she changed her Eurovision track.

The 22-year-old won the Malta Eurovision Song Contest with her empowering track ‘Out of Sight’, securing the 12-point maximum from every single judge, as well as the public vote. Unfortunately, the track did not receive the same reaction from the international audience, with betting odds giving Malta a 1% chance of winning the contest in Turin.

In its Eurovision history, Malta has had similar situations, with Ira Losco changing her MESC-winning song ‘Chameleon’ to ‘Walk on Water’ back in 2016.

Mar 13 2022

Prime Minister Robert Abela has announced that workers, students and pensioners will begin receiving their €100 and €200 cheques as of Monday.

During this afternoon’s Labour Party mass rally in Floriana, the Prime Minister advised that these cheques ‘may be the last [people] get if [they] trust Bernard Grech and the PN’.

Workers and students are set to receive a €100 cheque whilst pensioners and citizens on social benefits will receive a €200 cheque as part of a financial package which is over and above the yearly tax rebate cheques. Addressing uncertain voters, Abela stated that the decision is between the past and present, highlighting that the Nationalist party ‘does not deserve the people’s trust’.

The PN have shown that they have learned nothing, says Robert Abela

Mar 13 2022

Addressing a Labour Party mass rally at the Floriana Granaries on Sunday, Prime Minister and Labour Party Robert Abela did not hold back on his opinion on the Nationalist Party.

Abela stated that the country never found any help from the Nationalist Party in the fight for Malta, going on to state that the people’s choice on March 26 is clear because we cannot afford to put our country at risk.

Addressing the crowds in Floriana, Abela asked the people if they could imagine the PN leading the country amid crises such as the pandemic or the current tension. He went on to appeal to the people that they do not “approve these shameful ideas”, stating that “were it not written in black on white, you would not believe it” when referring to one of the PN’s social accommodation proposals.

Abela held that the PN will continue to put pressure on the working and middle class and on March 26, there is only one term and condition that comes with the PL manifest and that is to simply vote for it.
