Malta’s Newspaper Review
These are the main stories on today’s front pages in Malta’s newspapers.
The Times leads with a warning by teacher’s union president Marco Bonnici that the education system may collapse with the introduction of 13 new subjects next year. The Malta Independent covers the launch of Vision 2021: a strategy for reform by the Malta Financial Services Authority. The Times carries a reaction by the Prime Minister to a statement by European Commissioner Vera Jourova that the EU does not endorse Malta’s golden-passport programme. The Malta Independent and L-Orizzont cover the latest on the Egrant libel case. The former quotes the Caruana Galizia family who said they will not ‘concede to extortion’ after Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said he would be willing to drop the libel case against the murdered journalist if they say she was wrong on the Egrant allegations. L-Orizzont quotes the Prime Minister who said that the ‘Egrant lie was so big it involved my whole family’ which also left their mark on the economy and the country’s stability. In-Nazzjon says a meeting by the Central Bank’s Audit Committee discussing the transfer of land to the Corinthia Group has been postponed indefinitely by the government. L-Orizzont reports that a new infrastructural project will connect Santa Venera directly to the Marsa-Ħamrun bypass. In-Nazzjon says that the National Auditor’s Office confirmed what the Nationalist Party has long said.
