An election about two women
If there is to be a major debate about the upcoming European Parliament elections in Malta, it should focus on the two most significant candidates in terms of the changing political landscape.

The serial criminal Joseph Muscat was in Valletta today, begging his supporters to save him
Joseph Muscat’s comeback in political speeches and grandstanding at public Labour Party events wasn’t a big event.
