Napoli win Serie A title for the first time in 33 years

May 5 2023

Napoli fans across the globe are rejoicing as their team has won the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years. It is a historic moment for the club, and one that has been a long time coming.

The last time Napoli lifted the trophy was during the reign of the legendary Diego Maradona in the 1989-90 season. Since then, the club has come close to winning the title on a few occasions, but it has always eluded them.

However, this season, Napoli has been in scintillating form, and they have dominated the league from start to finish. They have been unbeaten in their last 11 games, and have won 11 of their 19 away games this season, the most by any team in Serie A. Their victory is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication, and also to the vision of their coach, Luciano Spalletti.

Spalletti has been instrumental in Napoli’s success this season. He took over the reins in May 2021 and has transformed the team into a formidable force. He has instilled a winning mentality in the players, and his tactical nous has been crucial in their success. His decision to play with a three-man defence has paid dividends, and the team has been solid at the back, conceding just 34 goals in 37 games.

The celebrations in Naples have been joyous, with fans taking to the streets to celebrate their team’s success. For them, it is not just a victory on the football pitch, but a symbol of hope and pride for their city. The club has always been an integral part of the city’s culture, and this victory is a reminder of the team’s rich history and its place in the hearts of the people.

Rebecca Buttigieg calls for sustainable development to safeguard ‘character’ of locality

Every Gżira street is occupied with construction, says Parliamentary Secretary

May 4 2023

Speaking to Fabian Demicoli on an episode of MaltaDaily’s ‘The Interview’, Parliamentary Secretary for Reforms Rebecca Buttigieg urged for more sustainable planning and organisation of infrastructure.

‘Every street in Gżira is occupied with construction work’ said the Parliamentary Secretary. ‘This means that if you’re a couple with a pram or an elderly person with a cane, you need to walk in the middle of the road.’

Calling this unacceptable, Buttigieg went on to state that it is time for this country to find a way to sustain the construction projects currently ongoing but with much better organisation.

She recommended timelines to which projects should be liable to for completion and thus reduce inconvenience.

She pointed to the public consultation on contractor licensing as one of the initiatives the government is taking to address this issue, as well as the sustainable development which attempts to safeguard the character of the locality.

‘We need to find that balance – to continue sustaining the ongoing investment whilst making sure that it all makes sense and does not not increase inconvenience for residents of both Gżira and Malta at large’ she concluded.
