Roberta Metsola urges everyone to support local on World Environment Day

Jun 5 2021 Share

Maltese MP and Vice-President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola took to social media to remind her followers to support farmers on World Environment Day.

 

The MEP also highlighted the fact that these farmers ‘care for the land that feeds us’ and ‘face down speculators and land-grabbing authorities’.

If there ever as a time to support local it is now and what better way to celebrate the individuals who toil day and night in their farms and crops than by purchasing the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labor.

On Friday, Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection Clayton Bartolo along with Economy Minister Silvio Schembri announced that €1 million will be invested in vouchers for English language students in Malta.

While welcomed by some, others have called out the government on such a matter, calling for further incentives for local front-liners who have been working tirelessly without any form of bonus or incentive.

It was announced that English language students will receive €10 in vouchers for every night they spend on Maltese shores based on a minimum of 15 nights, where those who spend up to 30 nights will receive €300 worth of vouchers.

Some DJs have argued that this measure is a ‘laugh in the face’ to DJs as this bare-minimum measure relaxation is not enough to allow DJs to perform and others attributing the recent illegal gatherings to the fact that establishments are closing at midnight.

As the public awaits Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne to announce what cultural events will be happening in July and August, many in the entertainment industry remain in the dark as to what their future holds.

Illegal gatherings persist in Malta as crowds continue to grow

Another set of photos is doing the rounds of social media showing large groups gather in Sliema in the late hours, generating a considerable amount of backlash from locals.

Many have argued that this is the result of excess restrictions, no enforcement and a by-product of closing establishments at midnight.

As Malta continues to battle the pandemic and slowly relax COVID-19 restrictions, one begins to wonder whether something will be done about these illegal gatherings.

Yesterday, it was also reported that the ban on DJs has been lifted, albeit at a cap of 70db which has also generated some controversy on social media.
