Joseph Gatt The kindly Governor of colonial Malta, General Sir Walter Congreve, approaching his end, gave instructions to be buried at sea, in the channel between Filfla island and the Mnajdra coastline. Marine funerals, though not unknown, still remained extraordinary events, especially those of heads of state.
Malta's Labour party won the 2026 general election with only a 10,852 vote advantage.
Malta's Labour party obtained 158,444 votes, i.e. 51.77% of all valid votes cast. The other political actors combined, obtained 147,592 votes, i.e. 48.23% of all valid votes cast. The difference between Malta's Labour party, and all the other polictical actors combined, amounts only to 10,852 votes.
Malta's mainstream media is reporting that the Labour party won with a 21,721 vote advantage, but this is actually incorrect, because the valid votes cast for the non-mainstream political actors are being overlooked, i.e. Malta's mainstream media are ignoring non-mainstream political actors and depicting the 2026 election as if it was merely a two party race (between the MLP and the PN), when it really was not.
Joseph Gatt At the turn of the last century, a mysterious author asserted a strong and highly personalised presence in the local publishing scene. The writer insisted on identifying him or herself only by the use of a monogram: E.L.V.
Malta is surrounded by several confirmed finds of oil and gas reserves, however such finds tend to be nearer to our neighbouring regions (namely Sicily, Libya and Tunisia). Malta's current territorial claims (i.e., the officially designated areas 1 to 7) in respect to oil and gas reserves, pointedly exclude all such confirmed reserves. Back in 1985, the International Court of Justice pronounced itself narrowly only in respect to where the marine border between Malta and Libya should stand. However said judgement did not include an examination of the merits of Italy's and Tunisia's territorial claims versus Malta.
