The tax authority is owed €1.2 billion by individuals and companies, a figure that remains stubbornly high even as three firms alone account for over €5 million in arrears. For those looking to the 2027 budget, the political group Momentum has proposed a €360 weekly minimum wage alongside lower business taxes, a combination that seeks to please everyone while the Home Affairs Minister prepares to reform immigration law. A broadcaster has urged Prime Minister Robert Abela to distance himself from Donald Trump, though domestic concerns remain more local. Eighteen organizations are currently demanding the government reclaim public space allegedly occupied by a restaurant, Piccolo Padre. Two separate drone attacks in the Black Sea have targeted ships sailing under the national flag; one strike left four crew members injured, while a second attack resulted in the sinking of both the flagged ship and another vessel. It is a reminder that maritime registration carries risks far beyond the Mediterranean.
