MEP Alex Agius Saliba hit out at the lack of action to assigning Maltese interpreters during a meeting of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. 

Starting a speech in Maltese about discrimination, Agius Saliba was cut short after he was informed that there was no adequate interpretation for those in the room who do not speak Maltese. 

The MEP said that this issue has been raised continuously for a number of years by Maltese representatives and that it is completely unacceptable that this issue has not been fully addressed. 

“It is totally unacceptable that I cannot speak, as my colleagues do, in an official language of the European Union,” the MEP said.

‘It is an insult to me that I have to I address a fellow Maltese (European Commission, Equality Commissioner Helena Dalli) in English because Maltese is being teated as inferior language in the European Parliament’ he wrote on social media.

‘Finally in a safe place’ and ‘can write freely’ tweets Mark Camilleri

'Finally in a safe place' and 'can write freely' tweets Mark Camilleri
Mar 23 2023 Share

Mark Camilleri, who very recently published intimate chats between Labour MP Rosianne Cutajar and Yorgen Fenech, currently being charged with the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, took to Twitter to reveal the following: 

‘Finally, i am in a safe place where lawyers don’t need to tell me what to do and the police can’t confiscate my equipment. And also i can write freely.’

This comes after the publication of the WhatsApp chats, after which he revealed that he still requires some help. 

‘Yo, I am a lion, but still outnumbered by thousands of d*ckheads and the mafia has a big team. I need more resources to fight. I’m 35, and I am looking for a business loan and have no debt with banks except for a personal loan of 14K remaining. Drop me a message if you can help.’ 

The tweet also comes after a recent release of a new blog post entitled ‘The Labour Party is a criminal organisation’. 

The Labour Party is a criminal organisation

In the blog, Camilleri said that he will keep his word when saying that any corrupt politician or anyone remotely involved in the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia who opens a libel case against him, Mark will ‘mop the f*cking floor with you’. 

‘And just so that you know, my will to ruin you is so great to the extent that I take it personally because, after all, I lost my place in the party and the government because of you. Take me seriously because this is not a game, but very serious business.’

A massive park in Birżebbuġa for all to enjoy has just been opened and inaugurated by Environment Minister Miriam Dalli. 

With around 17,000 square metres, 4,000 newly planted trees and picnic benches, as well as children’s obstacle courses, the park will welcome anyone wishing to visit in the locality of Birżebbuġa.

The new green space was also opened in association with Project Green, with CEO Steve Ellul exclaiming that he is immensely happy with this long-awaited achievement. 

‘The road to get here was not easy’ wrote Minister Dalli. ‘But we got here together. Instead of a parking for containers and a garbage dump, we now have a beautiful park.’ 

Will you be visiting?
