These are the salient stories from Malta’s newspapers’ front pages:
The Times quotes a report by the Council of Europe published on Monday which raises concerns over the investigation into Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder in 2017. The report says that while three suspects are being detained, those behind the assassination are not seemingly being investigated. In-Nazzjon says that Malta remains the only country not to review its golden citizenship system after the European Commission admonished such schemes. The paper says that Bulgaria withdrew a similar system while the parliament in Cyprus voted to review the scheme the country has in place.
The Malta Independent speaks to a colleague of Paul Formosa, who was shot in Somalia last week. Rosine, originally from Rwanda, said that she stayed with Paul until he passed away in hospital, finally closing his eyes. L-Orizzont, meanwhile, says that the port in Bosaso where Formosa was employed has returned to activity after coming to a stop in the aftermath of the assassination. The paper says that authorities are investigating a ‘mysterious voice’ linked with the killing.
The Times says that a research led by a Maltese doctor into a promising cancer cure has started its final trial stage. The Malta Independent reports Minister Ian Borg saying that the process for the revision of the fuel policy is reaching its final stages and should be published for consultation soon.
In-Nazzjon covers a meeting between PN Leader Adrian Delia and the Union of Teachers, following a series of incidents in the education sector. Delia told the union that investment in educators and students brings success to the country. L-Orizzont quotes Hotels and Restaurants Association president Tony Zahra who said that Malta should position itself as a quality destination instead of a mass-tourism destination.
