Abela said that that was a moment where he could have explained things better and where all the ‘legal nuances’ should not have intruded into a much more personal and human matter.

He went on to say that he remained in contact with Jean Paul Sofia’s parents and that the episode continued to strengthen one of his values – empathy.

‘You need to always put yourself in someone else’s shoes – especially when there’s suffering. And what worse suffering is there than losing your child’, the Prime Minister concluded.

Jean Paul Sofia died tragically at the age of 20 years old in 2022 when a construction site collapsed at the Corradino Industrial Estate.

Majority Don’t Want Marvic Eliminated From Big Brother

Mar 27 2025

We asked you – our followers – whether you think Marvic should be evicted from the Big Brother Malta House… and well, there was quite a clear answer.

A whopping 1,500 respondents said that they don’t want Marvic eliminated, despite his rule breaking leading the prize money being slashed down to €4,000 and despite he himself saying (and breaking a rule in the process) that he’d like to suspend himself before Josline got eliminated.

Only 433 voted for him to be eliminated.

Many said that rules are meant to be broken, pointing to the ‘natural’ setting of the reality TV show format as a reason as to why contestants might end up forgetting about the rules in the first place.

Others said that the other contestants also broke the rules multiple times but were not evicted, and asked that the same standard be applied across the board.

What do you think?

Prime Minister Wants To Decrease Homework Load

Mar 27 2025

Speaking on Popolin, Prime Minister Robert Abela said that he’d like to see homework amounts decrease and a boost on extra-curricular activities.

The Prime Minister said that he was thinking as a father, explaining that it bothers him to see his daughter (Giorgia Mae) finishing school at around 2 or 3pm and then spending up until 10pm doing homework.

He said that he’d rather students in Malta and Gozo having less homework and then engaging in extracurricular activities.

The Prime Minister argued that this would not impact student work negatively but would instead improve the education of students.

This, he said, is something that other parents probably understand as well, hoping to use it for further educational reform.
