The Ministry of Economy, Enterprise, and Strategic Projects, in collaboration with Malta Enterprise, has introduced the Green Mobility Scheme aimed at encouraging businesses in Malta to embrace electric vehicles (EVs) and sustainable transportation practices.

Acknowledging the crucial role transportation plays in business operations and its impact on environmental pollution, Minister for Economy, Enterprise, and Strategic Projects, Silvio Schembri, alongside Malta Enterprise CEO Kurt Farrugia, unveiled the initiative.

The scheme incentivizes businesses to transition to EVs for transporting goods and people by offering financial support such as tax credits and grants.

Minister Schembri highlighted that the scheme supports businesses seeking to invest in electric cars, aligning with the EU’s ambition to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, thereby promoting a shift towards sustainable transport.

Kurt Farrugia elaborated on the scheme’s components, stating it covers investments in EV charging infrastructure and the lease of clean or zero-emission vehicles.

D’Amato Records Pokes Fun At Partit ABBA Eggs Controversy

Mar 27 2024

Malta’s very own oldest records shop took to social media to poke fun at Partit ABBA making news headlines after the leader, Ivan Grech Mintoff, threw eggs at Prime Minister Robert Abela during a political speech.

D’Amato Records posted a photo of ‘ABBA: Vinyl Album Box Set’, with the photo captioned: ‘just because apparently ABBA are being mentioned more frequently in Malta at the moment…’

D’Amato records is known for such commentary, even posting a Hans Zimmer soundtrack set from the movie ‘DUNE’ due to Malta’s ongoing desert weather.

In a separate press statement, Partit ABBA alleged that the government has signed the Peace Partnership with NATO and sent Maltese soldiers to military missions despite Malta’s neutrality clause.

Grech Mintoff was removed from the stage as he approached the Prime Minister, with the latter asking the rally audience to keep calm and continuing on with his speech after an applause of support.
