PN welcomes new graduates at HQ with celebrations and beer pong

Nov 16 2021

After a pandemic of waiting, the newly graduates have been welcomed by the Nationalist Party at their head quarters to organise celebrations. The graduates embraced their well deserved achievement at PN HQ with beer pong and other activities.

Party leader Bernard Grech could be seen partying with the students, commemorating their hard earned nights of study and patience throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. Students could be seen around a table playing beer pong, wearing masks and enjoying every moment of their graduation.

Graduations had to be put on hold due to the pandemic, with many expressing concerns as to whether or not they will get to celebrate. The ceremonies made a comeback with some alterations to the usual format. It might not be the same graduations we are all used to, but the Opposition Party does not seem one to let the students’ triumph pass.

Catholic organisations express cannabis bill concern

Nov 16 2021

22 Catholic organisations expressed their serious concerns over a number of aspects in the proposed regulation of recreational cannabis.

The House will be debating the second reading of the bill on Tuesday evening. 22 church entities expressed their concerns in a position paper, stating they were critical of the rush with which parliament is being asked top pass this new law proposing radical and risky changes.

The position paper will be tabled in the House on Tuesday, but the organisations asked the government to press the pause button. The draft must be put, according to the organisations, on hold until a serious, independent and researched study is carried about about the social impact if the proposals.

They expressed the possibility of loopholes to allow the use of cannabis in public, very ‘limited regulation’ of cannabis grown in households as well as the ‘weak regulation of the opening of cannabis growing associations in all towns and villages.’
