Bernard Grech Addresses EPP Congress In Valencia

Bernard Grech Addresses EPP Congress In Valencia
Apr 30 2025 Share

During the European People’s Party (EPP) Congress in Valencia, Partit Nazzjonalista (PN) Leader Bernard Grech delivered a call for a Europe rooted in hope, dignity, and service. Emphasising leadership through listening and action, Grech outlined the PN’s core political mission: to improve Work, Life, and Quality. He stressed the party’s commitment to better jobs, work-life balance, and practical responses to rising living costs.

Grech reflected on the PN’s strong performance in the last European Parliament elections, electing three MEPs, including Roberta Metsola, now President of the European Parliament. He praised her as a symbol of unity and courage across Europe. Warning against growing threats to democracy and rising trade tariffs, Grech highlighted their potential to harm workers, families, and businesses, urging a united approach to protect freedoms and the European market.

He insisted on the need for open, competitive markets and stronger cooperation—not protectionism. People, he noted, want honesty and real solutions, not empty promises.

Grech was joined in Valencia by senior PN figures and MEPs. He also held meetings with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and German CDU leader Friedrich Merz. Meanwhile, PN’s Beppe Galea ensured Malta’s voice was heard in key EPP policy discussions and votes shaping the party’s future.

Following the death of Pope Francis on April 21, a new online game called Fantapapa has captured the imagination of nearly 60,000 users, blending Italians’ love of football and religion.

Created by AI expert Pietro Pace and game developer Mauro Vanetti, the game mirrors fantasy football (Fantacalcio), allowing players to draft a team of 11 cardinals.

Users choose a captain (the most likely to become pope) and a goalkeeper (the least likely), offering insight into public opinion ahead of the real papal conclave on May 7.

Top picks so far include Cardinals Matteo Zuppi, Pietro Parolin, Luis Antonio Tagle, and Pierbattista Pizzaballa—aligning with bookmakers’ odds.

The game also lets players guess the new pope’s political stance, religious order, language, and future name, with Francis, John, and Leo being favourites. With no cash rewards, winners earn only “eternal glory” in line with the creators’ anti-gambling stance.

What do you make of this?
