During the conference, Minister Fearne also addressed the country’s current situation with regards to the pandemic and went on to tackle the current COVID-19 restriction, including Malta’s acceptance of the Canadian vaccine certificate.

The Minister also revealed that, following a significant amount of pressure from the media and the public, vaccinated Maltese residents arriving from ‘dark-red’ countries will be able to quarantine at home, rather than at the quarantine hotel.

Oscar de la Renta went fur-free for Billie Eilish to wear their dress

Sep 15 2021

Billie Eilish bringing back Old Hollywood in a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown came at a price for the fashion house. The musical star made sure her first appearance at the fashion event would be a debut no one forgot any time soon. This is because Eilish convinced Oscar de la Renta to go completely fur-free before she donned their design on the red carpet.

Eilish, a 19-year-old vegan, voiced her thanks to the label’s creative directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim for listening to her on the matter. On Instagram, Eilish stated that it was an honour to wear the dress knowing that going forward Oscar de la Renta will be completely fur-free. The change, said Billie, would impact the greater good, not only for animals but also for our planet and the environment. Eilish expressed joy at being a catalyst on such an important matter.

Alex Bolen, chief executive of Oscar de la Renta, told CNN that he was endeavouring to surround himself with people who have different points of view, particularly young people.

Arnold Cassola will contest general election independently

Sep 15 2021

Contesting the 10th and 11th districts, Arnold Cassola will be entering the general election race as an independent candidate. Cassola commented in a statement how the 55-year-old bi-party system ‘has led to the political shambles we have today.’ He accused ‘certain dishonest and greedy businessmen’ of controlling certain MPS from both parties and ministers who ‘on their part, have reduced what is supposed to be the noble vocation of politics to an exercise in greed, nepotism, cronyism and favouritism.’

Cassola went on to also accuse a number of institutions without naming them of not favouring the common man on the street. ‘The big fish keep swallowing the small. Inequality rules.’ The independent candidate said that this led to many Maltese having to struggle all their life to make ends meet, creating an unfair and unjust system.

He said that the Maltese electorate has the choice of breaking this ‘toxic mould of politics by electing to parliament independent and third-party candidates with real values, whose hallmark is honesty, integrity, credibility and consistency.’ Referencing his 32-year political run, he said that this experience cultivated his knowledge about what is good and wrong.

‘We the people, deserve better’ he said. ‘Now is the time to change all that is wrong and unjust through our voting behaviour.’ Cassola has never been elected in a Maltese election, having contested both general and MEP elections. Having broke away from the Alternattiva Demokratika in 2019 – with whom he had always contested – he contested the MEP elections of that year as an independent candidate as well. He collected more first count votes by himself than AD did as a party.
