Today’s front pages- August 27, 2024
The top stories in Malta's newspapers
The following are the stories that made the front pages on Maltes newspapers on Tuesday.
The Times of Malta leads with a story about a police officer who is renting a cockroach-infested apartment to 16 people, with testimonies from the residents about the sub-par conditions they are currently living in.
It separately covers a proposal by the Malta Chamber of Commerce to impose a cap on non-EU workers in Malta, as well as incentivize Maltese living abroad to return home through tax incentives. These were two of a series of proposals issued by the Chamber in their pre-budget document.
The Malta Independent and In-Nazzjon also covered the Chamber's pre-budget document on their front pages.
The Independent also covered a PN press conference in which PN MPs accused police commissioner Angelo Gafa of lying about murder victim Nicolette Ghirxi refusing a risk assessment and then tried to "victim blame" her.
In-Nazzjon also reported on this press conference on its front page, leading with the PN's insistence that an independent inquiry into Ghirxi's murder be carried out.
L-Orizzont led with an NSO half-yearly report on workplace accidents.
It also carries a statement from the Malta Police Force denying any allegations of interference in the Vitals inquiry.
