MCAST Students Threaten Not To Vote If Marks Are Not Given

May 11 2024

MCAST students have yet again been forced to protest and make their voices heard due to marks being reportedly at stake and third-year students not being able to proceed with their thesis corrections.

In order to push the government to deal with the issue and engage in discussion with lecturers and MCAST officials, students have threated to not show up and vote at the upcoming MEP and local council elections set to be held on the 8th of June.

MCAST students are also sharing a poster on social media titled “No Marks = No Votes,” to further push the government into doing something about this issue.

Last January MCAST students had a similar problem when due to directives marks were not given out which led to a massive number of students protesting.

Candidate for Swieqi local council and MCAST student representative Jordan Galea Pace on his Facebook assured the college’s students that no one will be left behind and that he is “ready to take students out of their lectures again if these directives are taken into affect.”

He first started off by stating that it is not only the Labour Party that is in a crisis but it is the whole country of Malta that is.

He then went on to say that Chris Fearne’s decision to resign shows that he is acting like a true man and is showing that there are people in the Labour Party and according to him a lot that understand the grave situation the party and country are in right now.

Cassola also compared Chris Fearne’s decision to resign with that of Edward Scicluna who despite being allegedly criminally charges has not yet resigned from his role of Governor of the Central Bank of Malta.

The former AD leader will be hoping for a positive result next June in the MEP elections amidst all the recent political turmoil.

Roberta Metsola States That “We Have Serious Issues to Deal With.”

May 10 2024

In a scathing critique, Roberta Metsola has voiced her concerns about the current state of leadership in Malta and Gozo. She expresses her disbelief that in a time demanding strong leadership, the nations are being led by a Prime Minister she describes as indecisive and weak. Metsola highlights the irony of such a situation, given the resilient nature of the Maltese people.

Metsola emphasizes the pride and determination of the Maltese nation, stating that they deserve better than a Prime Minister who she believes is incapable of leading effectively. She argues that those facing serious criminal charges should not hold positions of influence, a sentiment she believes is shared by law-abiding citizens across the country.

The politician accuses the Prime Minister of prioritizing short-term political gains over the welfare of the nation, accusing him of dragging Malta and Gozo down with him. She describes the current political climate as the saddest spectacle the islands have witnessed, criticizing the Prime Minister for continuously lowering the standards expected of a national leader.

Metsola acknowledges the repeated challenges Malta and Gozo have faced in the past but suggests that the current situation is particularly dire. She condemns the Prime Minister for seemingly escalating the crisis rather than addressing it, stating that the nation urgently requires effective leadership to tackle pressing issues.

In conclusion, Metsola calls for an end to what she describes as the “theatre of the absurd,” urging for a change in leadership to address the serious challenges facing the country.
