Members of Malta’s clubbing & entertainment industry have expressed their frustration with the fact that they have been restricted in their operation for months on end with multiple limitations and regulations while yesterday’s rally seem to have taken place without any regard for the latter. Others have highlighted how police ‘scream’ at them to go home at 1am and school children have to wear masks all dow and are ‘not allowed to mix with their friends in the playground’, all while such political events take place.

Maltese entertainment lobby MEIA reiterated their call for the “removal of all restrictions and ongoing discrimination against [their] industry.” A recent Facebook post highlighted their thoughts on the two weights two measures policy currently in place in Malta.

WATCH: Here’s how Malta could look like according to Labour’s green proposals

Feb 21 2022

The Labour Party have announced that they will be pumping a €700 million investment over seven years to create new green spaces in Malta’s urban areas.

Addressing a press conference, Prime Minister Robert Abela, accompanied by Energy Minister Miriam Dalli and Environment Minister Aaron Farrugia, went into detail as to what these proposals will look like.

Firstly, the party pledged to convert five, large urban spaces into parks and gardens, with some cases redirecting traffic to underground tunnels and even knocking down existing buildings to make space for green areas.

The Ħamrun milk factory in the Milend area will be transformed into a large garden, with the factory itself moved to an industrial site.

St Anne’s Street in Floriana will also see a transformation as it would be turned into a garden, with traffic rerouted underground. The same would apply to central San Gwann in front of the church.

The Santa Venera tunnels will also be covered with a green roof, along with the Birkirkara aqueducts. This was revealed by the Environment Minister. Car parks in Senglea and Gozo’s mark park in Victoria would be rerouted underground, making way for gardens and even a football pitch.

Abela told the conference that if the people trust him for the first mandate, he will being implementing this plan from the day after the election. He also reiterated how his government kept the promise made to invest €100 million annually in road works.

Events organisers call “double standards” as crowds gather for political rallies

Feb 21 2022

Events organisers across Malta have called “double standards” on Malta’s main political parties after significant crowds gathered for their rallies on Sunday. Restricted from operating at full capacity for months on end, G7 Events, District Malta and DJ Daniel Blade took to social media to shine a light on the inconsistencies between local event organisers and political parties.

Just recently, events have been significantly restricted in their operations, with standing events being prohibited along with an imposed capping on attendance. This has stagnated the local events scene and caused distress amongst organisers, especially when one considers that most events in Europe and beyond have started taking place at full force.

In their recent video, @districtmalta highlighted how political parties have been allowed ‘unregulated and limitless rallies’ while events organisers have been ‘regulated and limited’.

As summer 2022 in the periphery and organisers awaiting a nailed-on date for regular operations, peak season for the local industry still hangs in the balance.

What do you make of this?
