The following are the main stories in Thursday’s newspapers.

Times of Malta says two foreign-owned firms are expected to share the profits from some €70 million worth of public road-rebuilding contracts, outpricing major Maltese competitors who are now fuming. In another story, the newspaper says Maltapost is asking for a 10c tariff increase for single-piece mail items over a three-year period on grounds it has been delivering the service at a loss for a number of years.

The Malta Independent quotes Prime Minister Joseph Muscat saying that the vision of his government is based on the three pillars of infrastructure, inclusion and innovation.

L-Orizzont also leads with the Prime Minister’s May 1 address during which he called on the people to be protagonists rather than spectators.

In-Nazzjon leads with statement by PN leader Adrian Delia that the Nationalist Party was the voice of the people.
