The Malta Independent on Sunday meanwhile leads with comments by PN MP and former party leader Adrian Delia's comments that Robert Abela's statements about the Vitals' inquiry verged on the despotic.

The newspaper also reports that the government is offering a one-time €3,000 payment to AFM personnel over past injustices.

They separately report that the PL has widened its lead among voters ahead of the election on June 8.

It-Torċa reports on a separate survey whose results show a 10.7% gap between the two parties.

The newspaper also reports on the positive impact of the Stabbilta' scheme.
