Maltese glam queen Gabrielle Grungo calls for end to body trends and more self-love

Nov 7 2022

Following a string of body modifications, fat reduction procedures and the whole nine yards by the Kardashian family, Maltese paramedical aesthetician and skin consultation therapist Gabrielle Zammit Grungo took to Instagram to share her opinion on the matter.

The local glam queen argued how societal standards put pressure on how individuals perceive themselves and their bodies. She revealed that, in her youth, these same standards made her develop an eating disorder which ‘tainted [her] mentally and probably physically for a huge period of [her] life.’

Despite admitting that there are still days where she struggles, Zammit Grungo stated that she become more accepting of herself. Nowadays, she urges people to look beyond physique trends and just attempt to be healthy and be themselves.

Do you agree?

FKNK President claps back at PN MP who suggested spring hunting debate should be restarted

Nov 7 2022

President of the Federation for Hunting & Conservation (FKNK) Lucas Micallef has clapped back at statements made by new PN MP Albert Buttigieg after the politician stated that “debate on whether spring hunting is allowed should be restarted.”

In a lengthy Facebook post published on Monday, Micallef criticised Buttigieg for making such claims, arguing that they are contradictory. The FKNK president pointed out contradiction in the fact that while Buttigieg stated he has nothing against hunters, he cannot understand why the do what they do.

“A person which does not understand the practice, but imposes and practices a culture of cancellation.”

“We are seeing things, from a number of people who practice a system of mediocrity, which show that the majority of people who speak on hunting and conservation in particular do not recognise or understand the fundamental aspects of this way of life. A person which does not understand the practice, but imposes and practices a culture of cancellation.”

Micallef stated that he does not expect a democratically-elected person to disrespect the democratic decision of a referendum.

This comments come in light of Buttigieg’s recent comments on a Times of Malta interview, where he stated that politicians should be free to carry out whatever is in the interest of the common good.

What do you make of this?
