New Social Housing Project Inaugurated In Qrendi

Jul 26 2024

Minister for Social and Affordable Housing Roderick Galdes inaugurated a new social housing project in Qrendi. This project will provide housing for twenty-six families and was completed with an investment of just under 4 million euros.

During the inauguration, Minister Galdes explained that this substantial investment in social housing is being made not only to provide a safe roof over people’s heads but also to offer a dignified environment where families can live in residences that enhance their quality of life.

“We want to support these families so that they can live in homes that offer a bright future for themselves and their children. This investment is also made in the heart of the community because we firmly believe in the inclusivity of every individual in our society,” stated Minister Galdes.

This new building incorporates twenty-six residences and twenty garages. This project is the second of three new social housing projects in Qrendi. The first project, which has already been inaugurated, consists of eleven new social housing residences.

The Minister expressed his eagerness to continue working on the mentioned housing projects. “We do this to keep making a difference in the lives of the families benefiting from these projects and to continue improving the quality of life for Maltese and Gozitan families,” concluded Minister Galdes.

Prince Harry Reveals ‘It’s Still Dangerous’ For Meghan To Return To UK

Jul 26 2024

Duke of Sussex or better known as Prince Harry has confirmed his fears as he revealed that he thinks it is still dangerous for his wife, former actress Meghan Markle to return to the UK.

In his first interview after his court case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) he stated that he feared an attack on his wife would happen if she ever had to return to the UK any time soon.

He confirmed that the tabloids and successive trials against the tabloids brought too much attention over him and his wife and that they pushed him too far.

He continued by stating “It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read and whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me.

“It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”

He also blamed his battle against the tabloids and press as one of the central reasons why his relationship with the royal family ultimately deteriorated,

Failed Railway Arson Attack In France Ahead Of Olympics

Jul 26 2024

France’s high-speed rail network suffered major disruptions due to arson attacks just hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

Rail operator SNCF reported “malicious acts” intended to cripple the system, causing significant travel delays. Several Eurostar trains between Paris and London were cancelled, and others were diverted onto slower lines, adding 90 minutes to the usual journey.

French security forces are actively searching for those responsible for the coordinated attacks, which Prime Minister Gabriel Attal condemned as “criminal acts” with serious consequences for the rail network. Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera criticized the sabotage, emphasizing that it targeted the athletes and disrupted years of preparation for the Olympics.

Suspicion may fall on Russia, whose team is banned from the Paris Games due to the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, with France being a prominent supporter of Kyiv.

However, far-left groups in France, known for targeting the rail network with arson attacks, are also potential suspects. The incident has highlighted the vulnerability of critical infrastructure and the broader implications for international events like the Olympics.

Malta’s contingent is also currently in France ahead of the Olympics.
