Not just political rallies: Bernard Grech calls for restriction removal

Feb 20 2022

Addressing his own political event, Opposition leader Bernard Grech called for the removal of all COVID restrictions in all sectors and not just for political events.

This comes just after Prime Minister Robert Abela announcing the date for the general election – March 26th. In the Labour rally, Abela said that he wants Malta to return to full normality in spring.

This would mean that political events, which will start as of tomorrow, can take place as COVID restrictions begin to ease, with the aim of removing them all as summer approaches.

Bernard Grech stated that he expects the government under Abela’s administration to remove the restrictions from all sectors and not just political events.

This includes everything from feasts, to sports, arts and culture and even students and those wishing to see their loved ones or simply wanting to return to a life before the pandemic.

The Prime Minister rallied around the idea that he wants Malta’s youth to be able to enjoy their life without the burdens of COVID restrictions which impacted all areas of our lives.

Feb 20 2022

Addressing a political activity this morning in Floriana, Prime Minister Robert Abela announced the date for the upcoming general election – 26th March 2022.

The reveal of the date comes amidst a long period of rumour spreading as to when it will be announced. With the Pope’s visit in April muddying the waters as to when it will be announced, the rumours went back to the Budget reveal.

Abela described the election as a crucial moment for one to decide about moving forward as a nation towards a ‘better future’ full of reforms.

The Prime Minister addressed several current issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, but highlighted Malta’s progress throughout the years and how he aims to push the country forward following the election.

Man sends sex videos of ex-girlfriend to her mother after break up

Feb 20 2022

A man was given a suspended sentence for revenge porn after sending sex videos of his ex to her mother.

The 25-year-old resident of San Ġwann sent two videos of his ex-girlfriend to her mother and one of his ex’s friends after the two split up.

With the identity of the individual concerned being withheld to protect the victim’s identity, it was revealed that the couple started dating in August but the relationship ‘took a sour turn.’

The woman reportedly broke up with him via text message and went on to block him from her contacts. The man sought revenge by sending her mother and friend the sex videos via Facebook messenger.

The 25-year-old was escorted to court on Saturday under arrest, charged with sharing sexual footage without his ex’s consent, with the intention of causing her emotional harm. He was also charged for misuse of electronic communications equipment, insults and threats, along with breaching public peace.

After hearing submissions by both parties, the court declared the accused guilty upon his own admission and handed down a one-year jail term suspended for two years. The court also place the man under a three year restraining order.
