The route to all evil When I read that the road from Victoria to Marsalforn is to be made wider with most of the existing trees  removed to make it comply with EU standards I must ask the question: is it to comply with EU standards or is it a way of getting money from the EU? I think it is the latter; money seems to be at the route of all evil on the islands. I own a property in Żebbuġ as well as living in Frankfurt, Germany with its population of circa one million and in the centre of the EU. We do not only have autobahns; most of our roads are not as large as the existing Victoria to Marsalforn road and we edge them with as many trees as possible. Added to this, we appear to have fewer road accidents than Malta and Gozo combined. Population one million versus 450,000.

Italy gets an ego boost

ROME Italy is on a roll. The country erupted in euphoria after the men’s national football team defeated England on penalties to win Euro 2020 late on Sunday night. But even in this football-obsessed nation, the victory was about more than sport. For many Italians, it reflected a bigger surge in national confidence. The triumph was the latest in a series of developments some trivial, some more serious that have dramatically lifted the national mood this year, after a horrific 2020 dominated by the pandemic. On the political front, the appointment in February of Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the former European Central Bank chief credited with saving the euro, brought an instant boost in international credibility.
