Sports integrity authority to put an end to unlawful activity in local sports

Mar 2 2021

The Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Sport and Voluntary Organisations Clifton Grima has announced the initiation of public consultation which will eventually lead to the launch of a Sports Integrity Authority.

This authority will be centralised around Maltese sport and will tackle sports governance and integrity through integration with NADO Malta, the Sports Integrity Unit and the Register for People in Sport.

The authority also will tackle any issues of illicit activity in sports and focus on credibility, transparency, accountability, education, leadership and regulations.

‘Waves may be in the sea, but the octopus is on the ground.’

Mar 2 2021

The protest which was organised by Manuel Delia, Repubblika and Occupy Justice outside Parliament worked around the pandemic restrictions by setting up socially distant and sanitised chairs so as to address the current restrictions.

The protesters also addressed Prime Minister Robert Abela’s remark of ‘waves in the sea’, a reference to a possible second wave hitting the country. Manuel Delia added on to the statement by stating ‘Waves may be in the sea but the octopus is on the ground.’ The octopus, a symbol utilised during the protest, signified the tentacles of corruption and cloud of ink that hides the corrupters.

Further reference was also made to Abela’s statements of how the institutions were working, with activist Louiselle Vassallo claiming that if that were true, Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassins would not have spent over three years out of arrest.
