US travellers to Malta
I am a resident of Minnesota in the United States. My dad and stepmother live in New Mexico. Both states are now on Malta’s ‘red’ list.
It has now been several months since we’ve all completed either both shots of the US Centres for Disease Control-approved Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine or the Johnson & Johnson single-shot. But Malta does not currently accept proof of these.
We had booked travel to meet dear, long-time family friends from Denmark (also vaccinated) in Malta in August. Now we are all nervously watching the Maltese news every day and keeping an eye out as our travel dates loom.
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.
