The Malta Independent quotes the Association of Travel Agents saying bookings by Maltese to go abroad are still low but it is hopefully of a pick-up as the July 1 date for the partial reopening of the airport approaches. It also quotes former minister Chirs Cardona saying he would not do anything to harm the Labour Party or allow anyone to come up with plots that harm the party. 

Malta Today says Malta's representative to the EU, Daniel Azzopardi, was replaced by his predecessor after having failed to convince EU countries to take 425 migrants stranded in Malta.
