The Times of Malta reveals that PN leader Adrian Delia is holding face-to-face meetings with members of the General Council ahead of a possible vote of confidence in him. The Executive Committee, which decides when to convene the Council, has so far not set a date.
The Malta Independent speaks to Justice Minister Owen Bonnici who said Opposition MP Jason Azzopardi should substantiate comments he made that the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia was commissioned by someone with access to senior public officials.
The Times of Malta says that the Planning Authority has approved over 52,000 permits for construction in the five years to 2018. Of these, less than 27,000 have been built while the paper calculates that around 9,500 new permits have been granted since.
The Malta Independent reports on an interview with Kamra tal-Periti president Simone Vella Lenicker who argued that the new building regulations will likely push property prices upwards.
L-Orizzont carries an announcement by Minister Ian Borg that 318 and construction sites have been certified safe by architects and works are now going ahead as normal. The government is keeping the public updated on developments.
In-Nazzjon says the government will amend the building laws less than a week since new regulations have been introduced. Minister Ian Borg said that he is waiting for feedback by architects to effect the changes.
L-Orizzont speaks to Caritas director Anthony Gatt who said that synthetic drugs are relatively inexpensive to buy. He also raised concerns about legalising recreational cannabis, downplaying the risks of the substance.
In-Nazzjon says that the Union of Teachers objects to announcements by the Ministry of Education to change assessment methods in primary schooling. The Union said it was never consulted in the process.
