And now… let’s party. Or, let’s do the Party

Post-election blues

As the jubilation and honking of horns recede into the background, Malta is slowly shifting back to normal day to day life, even if, truth be told, normal life is something that most of us crave for after a global pandemic and what has threatened to be a new European...
