Former St Julian’s Mayor Accused Of Witchcraft By American

Former St Julian's Mayor Accused Of Witchcraft By American
Sep 12 2024 Share

Nationalist MP and former St Julian’s mayor Albert Buttigieg has been bizarrely accused of witchcraft in a lawsuit filed by Victoria Tenisha Shanae Dillihunt, an American from Los Angeles, MaltaToday has reported.

The 400-page handwritten lawsuit targets numerous organizations and individuals, including freemasonry lodges, Catholic charities, fashion brand Michael Kors, and celebrities like Dr. Dre and Martha Stewart.

Buttigieg is named in the case due to his connection to St Julian, the patron saint of the town. Dillihunt’s claim asserts that any association with Catholic saints, including St Julian, is linked to witchcraft.

As a result, she also sued the town of St Julian’s, its former mayor Buttigieg, Dragonara Casino, and the Westin Dragonara Hotel. Additionally, other cities and towns with connections to St Julian, such as Ghent (Belgium) and San Julian (Mexico), are also named in the lawsuit.

This outlandish case is unlikely to proceed, as it was filed under ‘forma pauperis,’ a legal process often used by prisoners.

If such cases are repeatedly dismissed as frivolous, claimants are barred from filing further suits. The case, filled with conspiracy claims, is expected to be dismissed.

Popular Maltese Phrases Turned Into T-shirts

Sep 12 2024 Share

Local artists Stache Studios have partnered with clothing brand Parascandolo to create a collection of unique t-shirts that celebrate Maltese heritage and culture. The designs feature iconic Maltese phrases and imagery, including references to traditional foods like bajtar tax-xewk (prickly pear).

In an exclusive interview with Malta Daily, Mark from Stache Studios expressed his admiration for Parascandolo, describing them as one of the first Maltese companies to successfully create accessible fashion, particularly clothing that resonates with Maltese themes and language.

Mark shared that his own artwork is also rooted in Maltese culture and iconic phrases, making this collaboration a natural fit.

He revealed that after completing some new designs, he reached an agreement with Parascandolo to release the artwork as a line of t-shirts under their brand.

He praised Parascandolo for offering local artists and illustrators a valuable opportunity to showcase their work in a commercial format.

By handling the retail side of things, Parascandolo allows artists like Mark to focus entirely on the creative process, while still having their art accessible to the public through fashion.

Mark’s goal for the t-shirt designs was to create something that would resonate with everyday Maltese people. He noted that many young people today are drawn to clothing with large brand names and logos, often lacking creativity or personal connection.

While acknowledging that Stache’s budget can’t compete with major brands, Mark said his aim was to provide something cool, relatable, and accessible for Maltese youth and the general public alike.
