The long-awaited return of Isle of MTV is finally over as the event has finally been announced to be making it’s official comeback. 

With some big names to perform in the 2022 edition, with DJ Marshmello set to headline, the event’s past is enough to get those who had a very special place in their hearts for the event excited. 

Past performers at the Isle of MTV Malta include the likes of Jason Derulo, Bebe Rexha, Lady Gaga, Steve Aoki, Flo Rita, Black Eyed Peas and even David Guetta. 

Broadcasting internationally in around 180 countries through TV and other platforms, the event has attracted around tens of thousands people to each of its iterations throughout the years. 

The first Isle of MTV which was held on Maltese shores dates back to 2007, seeing the likes of Ira Losco sharing the stage with Akon, Maroon 5 and Enrique Iglesias. 

From then on, the festival remained a mainstay of Maltese musical events, attracting people from all around the globe. However, as many other events, Isle of MTV had to halt events for two consecutive years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The return of the 14th edition in 2022 is a clear sign that mass events are back, and people can finally get a taste of what life was like before the pandemic. So book the date – 19th July 2022 – for our first step into post-COVID normalcy.

A new video by the Nationalist Party’s electoral campaign reminded followers and the Maltese public in general of a whopping 150 scandals in 9 years by the Labour government. 

The 2 minute video rushes through 150 scandals of all the emergent scandals by their political rival. ‘Will you trust them for another 5 years?’ the video asks as it ends. 

Among the scandals were the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia and the connections with Yorgen Fenech and Keith Schembri, scandals associated to former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and the more recent deals involving PM Robert Abela. 

The video also included the recent resignation of Justyne Caruana from her post as Education Minister due to the scandal involving Daniel Bogdanovic, as well as the infamous FATF grey-listing.

Teacher and ADPD candidate slams authorities after St Patrick’s celebrations

Teacher and ADPD candidate slams authorities after St Patrick’s celebrations
Mar 18 2022 Share

Sandra Gauci, a teacher and ADPD candidate, issued a statement slamming the authorities for the lack of respect shown towards workers following the St Patrick’s Day celebrations. 

Infuriated, Gauci highlighted how whilst educators are forced to wear masks and use sanitisers, mass meetings and St Patrick’s Day celebrations went ahead without any adherence to mitigation measures. 

She also highlighted the fact that Opposition leader Bernard Grech joined in the celebrations in St Julian’s, taking photos alongside all those convening in the entertainment Mecca. 

‘Thank you for the lack of respect to educators, public health front liners and anyone who lost someone due to COVID-19. Now try and buy us through some fictitious raise’ she said.

Gauci emphasised the recent spike in daily cases of the virus, but this is being ignored so that people can revel in mass meetings or parties. She also forecasted an increase in measures and the introduction of a fourth booster dose, after all celebrations were done with. 

Comments flooded the post, with several mixed reactions from the public. Some supported Gauci’s message whilst others said that people have a right to celebrate but at the same time asked that kids remove masks in class. Others slammed the vaccine mandates or the cancellation of local feasts.
