A video has surfaced on social media showing a car speeding and drifting with insane velocity throughout the new Ghadira car park. The new car park has just been opened up for public use after construction and inauguration by Ministers Clayton Bartolo and Ian Borg.
The driver however had other plans than just parking as they used the empty parking late at night to drift around in their BMW. What do you think of these actions?

Roberta Metsola has been appointed as a rapporteur for an initiative that will see the implementation of EU-wide rules against ‘Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation’, also dubbed SLAPPs. Together with German S&D MEP Tiemo Wölken, Metsola will be drafting a report aimed at getting a wide-reaching agreement which prevent SLAPPs across the EU bloc.
Metsola said that this is ‘a water-shed moment for journalism in Europe. Journalists face threats of not only violence and murder but legal suites from unscrupulous actors who seek to silence media houses with the threat of vexatious lawsuits.’ On a Facebook post, Metsola dedicated this effort to Daphne Caruana Galizia and every media house, journalist, blogger and NGO who have suffered or been threatened by ‘crooked politicians’ and ‘corrupt corporations’.

It seems that the Executive Committee will approve Malta’s hosting of the 2023 U19 Championship Finals. The Malta Football Association (MFA) posted on Facebook stating that ‘indications are that UEFA EXCO will be considering favourably Malta’s bid to host U19 UEFA Championship FINALS in summer 2023’. Both 2020 and 2021 U19 were cancelled due to COVID-19, with 2022’s finals due to take place in Slovakia.
Should Malta indeed host the 2023 finals, it will mark the second time our country has hosted a UEFA tournament after having hosted the U17 finals in 2014. The MFA stated that it first entered the bid to host in 2024, but it seems it could be happening a year earlier.
