The Kunsill Studenti Universitarji (KSU) is under fire from student organizations and NGOs for imposing a €1,550 fee on non-governmental organizations participating in the University of Malta's Freshers' Week. Critics claim this new charge excludes NGOs from engaging with students.
Meanwhile, the General Workers' Union (GWU) has threatened industrial action against RSSL, citing concerns over the working conditions and outstanding payments for former Air Malta employees. Separately, a police inspector from the Counter-terrorism Unit has revealed how violent online networks are using game chat to contact children, leverage sensitive material, and pressure them into illegal activities.
The fallout from the Yorgen Fenech acquittal continues to draw comments from political figures, with Matthew Caruana Galizia warning that 'justice is collapsing bit by bit'. Minister for Justice, Research and Innovation Clifton Grima stated that justice should not be interpreted as doing whatever one desires, while Labour Party President Alex Sciberras commented that the party 'cannot pretend that we heard nothing' from the trial. Prime Minister Robert Abela also indicated that the upcoming budget will focus on responsibility and stability, notably avoiding mention of a 'super bonus' amidst ongoing fiscal policy debates.
