The News Paper Review 

The Malta Independent leads with a story about an application to install a solar farm in an Mġarr quarry to the Planning Authority. The paper says that project would have more than 17,000 solar panels generating close to 8.5 million kWhrs of electricity offsetting around 5.6 tons of C02.

The Times reports that the Medical Association of Malta met Education Minister Evarist Bartolo over an online course awarding certificates in medicine. The MEA said the reputation of Malta as a centre of excellence in medical training must be preserved. Last week the Standing Committee of European Doctors raised concerns about the European Digital School, established in Malta.

The Malta Independent publishes an interview with Faculty of Law Dean Kevin Aquilina, discussing the recent case accusing Brandon Bartolo of inciting racial hatred against Sara Ezabe. The Dean says that the relative article is so loosely worded that it goes against the legal principle itself.

The Times says that illegal tents and structures set up in Qalet Marku, in Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, were removed overnight after the ‘shanty town’ was reported in the media. The paper says that the site has been left full of litter and debris.

L-Orizzont follows a political event by the Labour Party on Sunday in which the Prime Minister said that there is more success in store for Malta and said the country should take the opportunity to make a leap forward.

In-Nazzjon covers an address by PN Leader Adrian Delia who called on the government to appoint a President from the Opposition side as a sign of national unity. Delia also said that the party he leads is open for those who feel the Labour Party has lost its social soul.

L-Orizzont quotes retired economist Alfred Mifsud who said that Malta’s economic success has not gone unnoticed and others are showing ‘envy’ of the country’s financial situation.
