Metaverse driven proposals among €1 billion PN investment ahead of election

Feb 21 2022

As political parties gear up towards the general election, the Nationalist Party has come out with a proposal which will see investments in sectors such as the meta-verse and artificial intelligence.

Addressing a press conference, Opposition leader Bernard Grech said that the party, if elected to government, will not only invest in sectors but will create 10 new ones to create more opportunities.

The Nationalist Party is ready to invest up to €1 billion in creating these new sectors, which Grech identified in his latest speech.

He revealed how one of the first sectors which will take a priority will be one centred around metaverse-driven incentives as the party attempts to tap into a digitalised market. This is accompanied by sectors which include 3D printing, AI application, video gaming and even E-sports.

He continued to reveal how the party also plans to invest in specialised manufacturing clusters, compliance and due diligence services, the sports industry, energy optimisation and last but not least global profit with purpose/social enterprises.

Asked by journalists about the sectors, Grech said that it is not enough to just mention these sectors and do nothing about them. He said that if elected to government, his administration would be investing to create new sectors and thus more opportunity.

This comes as the Nationalist Party seems to be pushing for a more youthful line-up and approach, following the withdrawal of three candidates from the election but also having the youngest member in Maltese political history.

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.
