The Priviledged Classes of Malta and GozoThere is a growing rift in Maltese society between those who are accepted by the law as normal citizens and who must be punished accordingly if they break it, and those who are considered of a privileged nature and thus must be dealt differently from the others. The former is usually the simple and blue collar criminal and gets caught easily when the police forces lunch their search operations. But the latter is a phenomenon which the media have always ignored due to its interest to hide the mischievous truths of its patrons. Yes, mainstream journalists have most of them failed to research properly white-collar crimes for the simple reason not to defame and not to enter in any 'libellous' situations.

Nature Trust Malta calls on PM to save DwejraThe Nature Trust (Malta) Council calls on the Prime Minister, as the responsible authority on the Environment and Tourism, to intervene in the Dwejra Heritage Park issue and help solve the various issues which are now long overdue. Nature Trust (Malta) had been awarded a LIFE grant by the European Union way back in 2004. This project encountered problems from the very start, with Mepa delaying the approval of the Action Plan by over one and a half years. The project eventually came to an end in March 2007. Since then all uncompleted tasks indicated in the Action plan have come to a halt and NTM now feels that all the investment poured in to conserve the site is now going up in smoke and the park is falling into degradation.

Protest in front of the opening ceremony of the new parliament
Police Brutality Resurfaces Again Policy brutality was a negative syndrome which existed since the birth of Maltese statehood. Its perpetual activity through history has given a bleak result of apathy to the situation. The lack of interest from the media on the Nicholas Azzopardi case is a fine example of this fact. The police stated that Nicholas Azzopardi had escaped from police custody and than later fell in a ditch, on the 8th April. Just before he died in hospital, Nicholas Azzopardi claimed that he was beaten by the police and then thrown in the ditch to Magistrate Tonio Vella who interrogated the victim, alone. Investigations are currently under way but no new disciplinary measures will be enforced to control this ongoing problem of abuse of power.

The protest invovled an action against the unconstitutional use of Maltese harbours by the American Navy.
