Miriam Dalli slams 'go find a husband & stay cooking at home' comments made on recent video
Feb 25 2022 Share

Malta’s Minister for Energy Miriam Dalli is not impressed with a recent comment made on a Facebook video telling her to “go find a life, a husband and stay cooking at home.”

Posting a screenshot of the comment, which also told Dalli that ‘politics is not [her] subject’, the Minister clapped back at the misogynistic statement, highlighting that not only will she not stay at home, but she will continue to encourage more women to come forward because “an old mentality will strengthen [them] and not make [them] lose heart.”

The video featured Dalli debating with Nationalist Party’s Joe Giglio on TVM programme XTRA and was posted to Dalli’s Facebook page on Monday, welcoming a flurry of likes at comments.

WATCH: An electoral win is ‘doable’ for the Nationalist Party, says Jason Azzopardi

An electoral win is 'doable' for the Nationalist Party, says Jason Azzopardi
Feb 25 2022 Share

When asked if he believes that the Nationalist Party’s electoral manifest is enough to shrink the voting margin between the PN & the Labour Party, Jason Azzopardi stated that an electoral win is ‘doable’ for the party, albeit being an uphill struggle.

Azzopardi stated that, during the entirety of his and his colleague’s political careers, he has never before seen so many new people open their doors to the Nationalist Party. He went on to state that surveys are only a glimpse of electoral standings before going on to suggest a potential win for the Nationalist Party.

 

Azzopardi stated that it is difficult for many reasons, “especially due to the Labour Party’s grasp of national broadcasting”, before going back to highlight the ‘game-changing’ manifesto and the unprecedented amount of feedback.

Do you think that the Nationalist Party has a chance?
