Maltese carnival goers dress up as contractor who caused Gozo black out

Feb 20 2023

Last week, Enemalta revealed on social media that their engineers and technicians were working to restore the electiricy supply to all Gozitan localities after a third-party contractor working in Mellieħa damaged the high voltage underground cables supplying the island.

The story prompted some carnival goers in Nadur to dress up as the alleged contractor who caused the power cuts.

A group of five dressed up as Enemalta workers, donning the bright vests and the yellow helmets, accompanied by torches and other equipment.

They also made their intentions known with placards which, through rhyme, explained: ‘We mistakenly cut off all of Gozo’s power. But we still headed to Nadur to party!’

What do you make of this costume?

Carnival weekend in Malta and Gozo saw some ingenious creativity all over the islands, but nothing could beat the craftsmanship that went into the construction of these massive floats.

All of them themed, floats were equipped with moving parts to signify living characters, smoke and confetti blowing out of the intricate machinery and costumed performers accompanying the floats.

The floats are a testament to Maltese culture and the passion that goes behind this celebratory time of year.

And the enthusiasts really went for it this year after a hiatus imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Puppy with broken front legs handed to Association for Abandoned Animals

Feb 20 2023

The NGO Association for Abandond Animals took to social media to share the story of Philip, a 6 month old dog with two broken front legs.

Philip was handed to Animal Welfare and now brought to AAA sanctuary. The latter forwarded the X-Rays handed by Animal Welfare to a vet, with the clinic making space for him so he could be operated.

‘Thank you Dr Trevor’s Clinic. Thank you for being there in all of our emergency cases and all medical issues.’

The NGO expressed frustration at the constant influx of abandonment cases. People are reportedly throwing their dogs in the streets whilst others call animal welfare and sanctuaries ‘pretending they found a dog in the streets so they don’t go to the vet when their pet gets injured and then just buying a brand new dog.’

‘One vicious cruel cycle’ the AAA said, condemning it.
