maltatoday | SUNDAY • 24 DECEMBER 2023 6 INTERVIEW What they said ... ALEX AGIUS SALIBA Labour MEP at 'Malta is treated differently from other EU member states' is, I think, very clear and self-evident. DARREN CARABOTT PN MP, Public Accounts Committee chairperson What is needed is a holistic change to the way Parliament operates as a whole. Why do we have this divide between 'Blue' and 'Red'? Isn't it time to move forward? PETER GATT Geologist We need to know a lot more, and there are structures that need to be studied closely. e geology of Malta is more complex than what is being presented by the Authorities. DR GEORGE VITAL ZAMMIT Public Policy analyst ere has been a very much-needed resurgence of confi- dence, within the Nationalist Party: and not just because of the behaviour of Dr Grech and Dr Delia, either. COLIN FITZ Veteran comedian/radio presenter I had a sheltered upbringing; and rather than play football out on the street, I would sit at home and watch a LOT of (mostly British) TV. PROF. PAULINE GALEA Seismological Monitoring & Research Group, UoM ere are buildings that are properly designed, to with- stand the sort of earthquake shaking expected; but unfor- tunately, there may be a number of others, which are not. PROF. SAVIOUR FORMOSA Head, CrimeMalta Observatory Even if the number of reported crimes is actually on the decline… crimes are still being committed; and people still fear for their own safety, as a consequence. PROF. IVAN CALLUS Lecturer in contemporary fiction and literary theory Critical thinking, if we're going to commit to it, is not there merely to find vindication, from noted commentators, for the positions and perspectives we're inclined towards. MATT BONANNO Satirist I'm an individual; I don't have a whole media organisation, with a team of lawyers, behind me; I'm just someone who writes funny stuff on the Internet… JOE GIGLIO PN MP Does it make sense, that we now have gangs of people roaming around the streets of our capital city, and beating people up? For no reason whatsoever? ADRIAN DELIA PN MP, former party leader 'Truth and Justice will prevail, in the end' is not just an empty, meaningless slogan. It is something that can actu- ally happen; that we can MAKE happen… SANDRA GAUCI ADPD chairperson People are not only losing trust in the two-party system; but also in the way things have generally always been done, here.
