Fifa to investigate racist abuse and chanting at England players

Sep 3 2021

England has openly condemned the racist abuse directed at their players during a World Cup qualifier in Budapest, calling it completely unacceptable. Despite England winning the game 4-0, Manchester city forward Raheem Sterling and Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham were targeted during the game. When the players took the knee before the kick-off, loud racist chanting could be heard as well as objects being thrown later in the game.

Sterling was targeted with paper cups and bottles as he opened the score for England, with other members also being attacked. A flare was even thrown onto the pitch after Maguire scored. Ice was thrown at England manager Gareth Southgate during his post-match interview. Hungary’s players asked supporters to respect England’s knee gesture but the fans didn’t follow. Southgate said that everyone knows what the team stands for and, pointing to the match being filmed, that he hopes action is taken right away.

Peppi Azzopardi praises government’s ‘New Hope’ scheme for helping cancer survivors

Sep 3 2021

Following the launch of the ‘New Hope’ scheme which seeks to help survivors of cancer and other terminal illnesses get bank loans for their future homes, Xarabank host Peppi Azzopardi issued a statement praising the wonderful initiative. The scheme, captained by the Minister for Social Housing Roderick Galdes, lets the government come in and help people who have survived illnesses like cancer when banks cannot issue insurances for them to purchase future homes.

Azzopardi reveals he was speaking to a cancer survivor named Martina who could not get a loan due to having been sick in the past. The Xarabank host praises the latest governmental initiative, saying; ‘Well done because, despite the number of such individuals suffering from this problem being small, the government took initiative. The government made a clear statement – just because it’s a small group of people doesn’t mean that we don’t notice them.’ He said that this removes the discrimination against those seriously ill.

Bernard Grech demands apology from prime minister for ‘lies’ about Debono Family

Sep 3 2021

After the husband of former Gozo minister Giovanna Debono was cleared of graft allegations, Opposition leader Bernard Grech has demanded an apology from the government and Prime Minister Robert Abela. An appeals court confirmed on Friday that Anthony Debono, the husband in question, was not guilty of fraud and misappropriation. He faced these charges in 2015 in what was dubbed as a ‘works-for-votes’ scandal, with the court initially clearing him of these charges in March but prompting attorney general to appeal the decision.

Bernard Grech said that justice has prevailed and that the Debonos have been the victims of a campaign of lies fuelled by the Labour government. When Debono was first charged in 2015, ex-Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had claimed the PN ignored allegations and that Simon Busuttil and Chris Said tried to cover up for him. Giovanna had resigned from the party soon after the arraignment, and did not contest in the 2017 general election, in a bid to defend her integrity and her family’s.
