Prime Minister Robert Abela has announced that Budget 2027 will be presented on October 26, marking a significant upcoming event in the legislative calendar. This comes as businesses continue to report a backlog in work permit processing, a persistent challenge for the economy.
In a notable political development, Nationalist Party Leader and Leader of the Opposition Alex Borg is relocating his office from the party headquarters to Valletta, a move he frames as bringing the opposition closer to the public and the seat of government. Meanwhile, Home Affairs Minister Glenn Bedingfield has appointed a committee to review existing fireworks legislation, aiming to consolidate fragmented laws and enhance safety standards.
Other new stories include a planned protest on September 26 advocating for abortion decriminalisation, an order for several charities to refund a total of β¬285,000 in donations, and a tragic parasailing accident near St Julian's that resulted in a tourist's death. A man was also grievously injured in a Marsa hit-and-run, with the alleged driver arrested.
