Malta is hosting a significant international tourism summit, attracting prominent global figures including former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The event is expected to bring together various tourism heavyweights to the island, signaling a focus on the sector's future.
In related domestic news, a MaltaToday survey indicates that only 16.1% of respondents expected businessman Yorgen Fenech to be acquitted in the Daphne Caruana Galizia murder case, with a majority either not anticipating the verdict or not following the trial. Meanwhile, activists gathered outside Parliament, urging Members of Parliament to cease trade relations with Israeli settlements.
Other key developments include Finance Minister Clyde Caruana's announcement that new taxes may be introduced, though VAT, income tax, and social security contributions will remain unchanged. The Opposition has also raised concerns about inconsistencies in the government's mass public transportation pledges. Additionally, Prime Minister Robert Abela has remained silent on conflicting messages from Labour Party officials and criticized 'trial by media'.
