❓ Verdict

Malta is grappling with a severe agricultural crisis as farmers warn of a bleak future due to prolonged heat and drought, impacting local food production. This environmental concern is further compounded by a proposed agricultural waste facility drawing criticism from former Minister Clayton Bartolo, and the scarcity of local dairy products due to the intense summer heat. The political landscape remains turbulent following the Yorgen Fenech acquittal, with the European Parliament set to intensify its examination of Malta concerning the murder case. The Nationalist Party has also escalated its pressure on Prime Minister Robert Abela, questioning his connections to former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and the prospect of an early election in the wake of the verdict. Adding to the nation's challenges, widespread power outages have once again affected Malta and Gozo, while Prime Minister Abela has articulated Malta's non-negotiable positions ahead of critical discussions on the European Union's budget.
