You start understanding the quality of a minister but these small pieces of news that make you understand that the seriousness required to complete the many corrections in our institutions, does not seem to be of importance even if elections just passed by, and resolve to nothingness like the Eurovision attendance - As if this was important dear minister!

Manuel Mallia's visit to Malmo has turned up to be quite expensive for the Maltese islands. Apart from personnel from PBS, did he take Silvio Scerri tan- NEXOS, with him since he has a personal interest in the Eurovision stage set-up and lighting.
