Minister for National Heritage, Arts and Local Government Owen Bonnici has officially announced a very special edition of Carnival in Malta, to take place in May of this year.

The ‘Karnival ta’ Malta‘ will be held between 20-22 May and is an opportunity for ‘the Maltese and Gozitan people to enjoy the event they truly lovely, especially the children’, the Minister stated.

Minister Bonnici stated that the past two years did not allow us to celebrate carnival in the way we are accustomed to as a result of the pandemic. In light of this, the actual event poster features an animated COVID-19 virus satirically chased by a booster-wielding king.

The event is held in collaboration with Festivals Malta.

Do you plan on attending this year’s carnival?

Putin allegedly severely ill with blood cancer

Putin allegedly severely ill with blood cancer
May 13 2022 Share

According to new emerging news reports, an oligarch with close links to Vladimir Putin has been recorded saying that the Russian president is ‘very ill with blood cancer’. 

The oligarch is believed to have discussed Putin’s health with a Western venture capitalist, with the conversation having been recorded without his permission. 

With the oligarch’s name not revealed, the report comes after there was further speculation over the leader’s health after his attendance at the Victory Day parade in Moscow.

The oligarch said that Putin was ‘crazy’, especially when it comes to his Ukraine operation. The oligarch said that the Ukraine war absolutely ruined Russia’s economy and that ‘the problem is with his head.’

The health of the Russian despot is a subject of much speculation, and it is unlikely there will be clear confirmation on this matter.
