Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’ has forecasted a 95 per cent chance of rain, with winds as strong as gale force 5 and temperatures feeling as low as 9 degrees celsius. Elsewhere, ‘Malta Weather’ has warned of moderate to strong winds and rain showers across Malta and Gozo.

Malta’s Met Office via the Malta International Airport is reporting rainy weather with temperature highs of 13°C and lows of 10°C. Rather strong winds to strong Southeast becoming moderate are also expected, with a trough of low pressure extending from Morocco to Tunisia reported in the Maltairport website’s detailed forecast.

Gozitans workers in Malta should be paid for travelling time, says Bernard Grech

Mar 13 2022

Bernard Grech has stated that a Nationalist Government will ensure that Gozitans travelling to Malta to work would start being paid for their travel time ‘from the moment they board the ferry’.

During a Nationalist Party event at Għajnsielem on Saturday, Grech reiterated the PN’s vision of the population’s responsibility towards one another, slamming the government’s treatment of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia whilst also highlighting a brief pause to the election campaign to make way for a national march in solidarity with Ukraine.

Grech highlighted that Gozitan workers who need to come to Malta to work would benefit from this new scheme by receiving payment from the moment they embark the ferry until they arrive back in Gozo, going on to criticise the Planning Authority’s recent approval of permission for a large apartment block in Sannat.

Also recently, a number of Maltese environmental NGOs have stated that Malta’s two major parties have failed to address biodiversity protection through their proposals, calling them ‘greenwashing‘.

Malta’s environmental NGOs are not convinced by PLPN green proposals; claim ‘greenwashing’

Mar 13 2022

A number of Maltese environmental NGOs have expressed their concern with the Nationalist & Labour Party’s failure to fix in on protecting local biodiversity in their electoral manifestos.

Made up of seven green NGOs, the members stated that Malta is already the most ‘built-up’ state in the European Union and the issues of habitat loss and maritime area protection must be tackled urgently.

In their respective electoral manifestos, the Nationalist Party is pledging to demarcate 50,000 square metres of land into ODZ every year whilst the Labour Party promises to invest €700 million on the development of urban ‘green lungs’ over a period of five years. The NGOs concerned are BirdLife Malta, Din l-Art Ħelwa, Flimkien Għal Ambjent Aħjar, Friends of the Earth Malta, Nature Trust-FEE Malta and Ramblers Association of Malta.

The seven NGOs have stated that while urban green areas are needed, they do not counteract the destruction of natural habitat, going on to appeal to political parties to commit to Malta’s environment and the necessary measures, remove ODZ loopholes, end derogations of the EU’s Birds Directive and stop land reclamation plans, amongst others.

Do you agree with the NGOs?
