As the shadow of the presidential election in France looms large over the European political debate, the French presidency of the Council of the European Union kicked off on New Year’s Day.

We have entered 2022 with a list of challenges not limited to the latest wave of the Covid-19 pandemic which is raging throughout the whole of Europe and the rest of the world. Europe is classified by the World Health Organisation as now being the epicentre of the Omicron virus wave and Malta is not being […]
Fil-bidu ta’ Jannar tal-2020 l-Prim Ministru Robert Abela ħa t-tmun tat-tmexxija ta’ pajjiżna. Kienu żminijiet b’ċirkustanzi diffiċli. Waqt li kien qed jieħu l-ġurament tal-ħatra bdejna nisimgħu aħbarijiet dwar kif il-Coronavirus beda jinfirex fi bliet Ċiniżi u anke waslu l-ewwel każijiet fl-Ewropa u fl-Istati Uniti tal-Amerika. Minn dakinhar, l-istorja jafha kulħadd u d-dinja bdiet tħabbat wiċċha […]

Fl-aħħar jiem iffirmajt f’isem il-Gvern Malti il-ftehim finanzjarju li bih Malta ser tirċievi għotja ta’ ftit inqas minn €320 miljun mill-Fond Ewropew għall-Irkupru u r-Reżiljenza magħruf bħala Next Generation EU. Għan-naħa tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea iffirma l-Kummissarju għall-Ekonomija Paolo Gentiloni. Propju ftit jiem biss wara dan l-iffirmar, wasal Malta l-ewwel pagament ta’ €41 miljun minn dan il-fond […]
“B’dawn il-fondi, se nkunu qed ninvestu fl-ikbar riżorsa tagħna: il-bniedem.” Ftit kienu dawk li ma nnutawx li l-baġit li ppreżentajna iktar kmieni dil-ġimgħa kien wieħed soċjalment, ambjentalment, u ekonomikament ġust. Dan il-baġit, ispirat mill-prinċipji tagħna, jindika bl-iktar mod ċar fejn irridu mmorru fis-snin li ġejjin, u allura, dak il-pajjiż li rridu nħallu lil uliedna. Baġit […]
Ftit tal-ġimgħat ilu lqajna fostna lill-President tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea Ursulu Von der Leyen u dakinhar kienet iddeskriviet il-Pjan ta’ Rkupru u Reżiljenza li ressqet Malta bħala l-aktar pjan ambjentali minn fost il-pjani tal-Istati Membri kollha tal-Unjoni Ewropea. Il-Budget għas-sena d-dieħla li ressaq nhar it-Tnejn li għadda l-Ministru tal-Finanzi Clyde Caruana jkompli jikkonferma l-impenn tal-Gvern Laburista favur […]
“A happy, healthy society requires a pleasant environment. We know that the greening of our environment – and economy – can only occur through a collaborative effort with all players, public or private.” Last Monday, with the presentation in Parliament of Budget 2022, we revealed our goals and ambitions for a modern, sustainable, and socially […]
Il-budget li tressaq ġimgħa ilu fil-Parlament mill-Ministru tal-Finanzi u x-Xogħol Clyde Caruana huwa wieħed li juri tassew il-kuxjenza soċjali tal-Gvern Laburista u faċilment nistgħu insejħulu bħala l-aktar budget soċjalment ġust li tressaq għall-approvazzjoni tal-Parlament.
