⛈️ Hail

Malta woke to the sound of thunderstorms and the sight of flooded streets this morning. The weekend forecast offers little reprieve, with further rain expected across the islands. The finance minister, Clyde Caruana, told reporters he would rather resign than withdraw energy subsidies. For his part, Prime Minister Robert Abela welcomed the national credit rating reaching its highest-ever level from DBRS this week. The government has also managed to secure flu vaccines via Italy, bypassing previous warnings that the supply would be delayed. A mayor’s claim that he was unaware of broken CCTV cameras in Spinola Garden has been complicated by the discovery of council minutes suggesting otherwise. Elsewhere, victims of an alleged bank fraud have begun recounting losses of thousands of euros. At the ballot box, the public is less engaged: the latest figures confirm the islands have the lowest voter turnout for European Parliament elections in the EU.
