“Enough is f… enough”, Adrian Delia fuming over Manikata chapel development in new post

Aug 26 2022

Following the development of a large block building right next to a small chapel in Manikata, a number of local figures have taken to social media to express their frustration at such a decision.

One of the most outspoken in their discourse was Nationalist Party MP and former party leader Adrian Delia, who stated that “enough is f… enough,” before going on to criticise a number of institutions and Infrastructure Minister Aaron Farrugia on such a decision.

“I invite the wise people who approved this permit Heritage Malta to openly declare how they could ever ignore the neighbouring chapel, which has just been restored, to be buried under a shadow of concrete.”

Delia went on to invite Minister Farrugia, Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna and Prime Minister Robert Abela for an explanation as to how they can allow our country to continue being “disfigured in such an obscene way.”

These last few weeks have seen numerous reports come out stating that Audi will buy 75% of Sauber the team that currently owns the Alfa Romeo Formula One team. This would mean that the German company would have their own team, car and drivers to play around with.

Audi Sport’s facility in Neuburg will be where the power unit is developed, marking the first time in more than a decade that F1 powertrain will be built in Germany.

This announcement was revealed earlier today in a press conference in Spa, ahead of this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix. The press conference featured Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG Markus Duesmann, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development Oliver Hoffmann, F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali and FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

The combination of high performance and competition is always a driver of innovation and technology transfer in our industry. With the new rules, now is the right time for us to get involved. After all, Formula 1 and Audi both pursue clear sustainability goals.”

The company also announced that by the end of the year they will announce which team or teams they will partner up with ahead of the 2026 season.

The Serbian side maintained their goal advantage after previously beating the Spartans 4-1 during the first leg. Despite this, the Maltese side’s showing in both legs is something which supporters can be proud of, creating endless goal opportunities and spectacular moments.

This year’s run was definitely one for Maltese football historic books and will hopefully serve as a moment of encouragement for fellow Maltese teams as they strive to climb the European football ladder.

Following the game, the Spartans took to Facebook to celebrate the team’s showing, expressing pride in their showing, both on and off the pitch.
