‘Malta must tackle bullying’; says MP in light of Texas school massacre

'Malta must tackle bullying'; says MP in light of Texas school massacre
May 26 2022 Share

After Wednesday’s horrific Texas elementary school massacre, which left at least 19 children dead, Labour MP Malcolm Paul Agius Galea took to parliament to express that Malta must tackle its bullying on all levels.

Agius Galea revealed a childhood bullying experience of his own, saying that children would gang up on him as he left catechism (mużew). He recounted that it was a random man that came and stopped the children from hitting him that allowed him to escape.

Turning to the Texas shooting, the MP highlighted how Ramos was bullied due to his speech impediment and troubled background. He made a comparison to the Texas shooter, stating “We were two victims, but two extremities. I moved forward in life and am here today, but the other victim fell backwards.”

Agius Galea sustained that the bullying issue must be tackled, going on to propose a national campaign against solitude, since it one of the main issues behind mental health problems.

The game went how you would expect any Jose Mourinho final to go. Roma looked defensively solid and tried to counter attack the possession hungry Feyenoord.  Their plan succeeded in the 32nd minute when fan favourite Nicolo Zaniolo managed to beat the keeper after a superb pass from none other than center back Gianluca Mancini.

After the opener, Roma’s game plan was quite clear. The Giallorossi wanted to kill the game off, defending with all their lives against Feyenoord’s prolific and tricky attack. In the second half Feyenoord had multiple chances to find an equalizer but somehow couldn’t manage to find the back of the net. Roma’s and Mourinho’s risky plan worked out as after 95 minutes, the Roma fans, staff and players erupted into insane celebrations befitting the magnitude of the success.
