Malta to Open First Crematorium in 2 Years Time

Sep 29 2024

Malta’s first-ever crematorium is expected to be operational within two years, according to funeral director Johann Camilleri, whose company, Active Group Limited, is spearheading the project. In an interview with Times of Malta, Camilleri explained that his team is revising plans originally submitted three years ago to meet the new government regulations on crematoriums.

The facility, originally planned as a 700-square-metre site in Paola, will now be reduced to 500 square metres in compliance with these new policies. While acknowledging the downsizing presents some challenges, Camilleri expressed optimism. “It is less feasible, but still doable,” he told Times of Malta. The changes may cause slight delays, but they also provide engineers more time to adjust the plans.

The crematorium is set to be built on private land near Addolorata Cemetery, Malta’s largest burial site. The company aims to submit the updated plans to the Planning Authority by next month, with hopes to offer cremation services within two years.

Cremation was legalized in Malta in 2019, with the Cremation Act passed in 2022. Final guidelines for developing such facilities were approved last month by Planning Minister Clint Camilleri.

PN Leads Labour by 12,000 Votes Despite Grech Trailing Abela in Latest Survey

Sep 29 2024

The Nationalist Party (PN) holds a 12,000-vote lead over the Labour Party (PL), according to a new MaltaToday survey.

The PN has garnered the support of 48.2% of the electorate, maintaining a 4.4-point advantage over the PL, which stands at 43.8%. This survey, the first since June’s European election, suggests a shift in voter sentiment as the PN continues to gain momentum, despite internal challenges within Labour.

Interestingly, the PN’s lead comes despite its leader, Bernard Grech, trailing Prime Minister Robert Abela by 16 points in MaltaToday’s Trust Barometer, which measures public trust in leaders to run the country. While Grech’s personal ratings lag, the PN has benefitted from a higher voter retention rate compared to Labour, as well as gains among non-voters and even some former Labour supporters.

The survey indicates a 75.7% projected voter turnout, which would be the lowest in any Maltese general election since 1950. Labour’s struggles appear linked to a higher abstention rate, with many of its former supporters choosing not to vote. If these trends persist, the PN could further erode Labour’s previous dominance, significantly narrowing the gap from the 2022 general election.
