Known for selling Christmas decorations at the height of summer, Mario Morales’ ‘Bargains Teleshopping’ will be going off the air by the end of this year.

For the past twenty years, Morales broadcasted his programme on the two party channels to sell everything from Christmas trees to utensils and everything in between.

Despite having retired in June, Times of Malta reported how Morales will be appearing on TV until the new year due to having recorded episodes of the show prior to the end.

Despite this, many countries around the world are noticing a declining trend in teachers working or entering the profession. The main reasons for this exodus of educators are overworking, undervalued and underpaid labour.

A recent video uploaded to social media by a Maltese teacher reignited the conversation around the issue, with social media influencer and ex-teacher Shanice revealing how she had to leave her job due to many similar reasons.

MEP Alex Agius Saliba Decries Lack Of Action On Migration

Oct 5 2023

Speaking in the European Parliament, MEP Alex Agius Saliba commemorated the 10 year anniversary since the 2013 Lampedusa tragedy by decrying the lack of action when it comes to the issue of migration.

Tragedies continued to take place in the Mediterranean, Agius Saliba said, and yet nothing has happened. Despite the many declarations and promises, people continued to drown and die in the Mediterranean.

‘We’ve spent years pleading for a mechanism of solidarity between the member states, especially those at the frontiers. Solidarity which was supposedly signed for by every member state when they joined. A solidarity we only use and abuse when we profit from it’.

‘We need to move from words to action. The European pact in regards to migration and asylum needs to be adopted in this legislation.’

Agius Saliba said we need to do this not only to save human lives, but to also send a message to Europe’s citizens that Europe is not just a talking shop but an institution which works.
