Exams To Go As Planned; UĦM Directives Lifted

Jan 16 2024

Following pressure by KSU’s announcement of a University student rally on campus today, the UĦM directives were lifted and exams announced to be going as planned.

As such, KSU cancelled the lecture walk-out rally, with an official statement saying that pressure for the conclusion of the collective agreement is set to continue.

‘While this development is a cause for celebration among students, KSU wishes to express its profound appreciation for UĦM’s unwavering commitment to defending worker’s rights’, the student organisation wrote.

KSU extended their wholehearted support to UĦM in its ongoing endeavours to negotiate a better collective agreement.

‘Nonetheless, we must express our deep disappointment with the government’s negligence regarding workers’ rights over the past two years, a neglect that has compelled the union to take such measures, inadvertently impacting students.’

‘Did the situation need to get to this point to get to this stage of the negotiations’, KSU concluded.

Alex Borg Calls for Franco Debono’s Return to PN

Jan 15 2024

Alex Borg has publicly urged Franco Debono to take a more active role within the Nationalist Party (PN). The young PN MP took to social media to express his support for the reintegration of Franco Debono into the party.

This development follows closely on the heels of Roberta Bonello Felice, a PN executive member and presenter, who also encouraged Debono to “take a step towards the nationalist party” in an interview with Andrew Azzopardi on RTK.

In a detailed social media post, Alex Borg revealed that he recently had the opportunity to meet Debono in person. Despite not aligning with all of Debono’s views, Borg emphasised that he considers Franco Debono a valuable asset to the Nationalist Party, agreeing with a substantial portion of his statements.

Back in 2022, Opposition Leader Bernard Grech did not rule out the possibility of Franco Debono contesting the election as a PN candidate. During a press conference with Newsbook, Grech stated that he did not “exclude any candidature” and affirmed that the party welcomes anyone with goodwill ready to contribute to the Nationalist Party.

Franco Debono, known for his successful criminal law practice, withdrew from frontline politics in 2013 following disagreements with then-Prime Minister and PN leader Lawrence Gonzi.
