“I want to update you with what is happening in Parliament,” Abela said.

He explained that newly elected MPs are currently discussing and debating the speech delivered by President Myriam Spiteri Debono.

According to Abela, 34 MPs have spoken during the ongoing discussions, with members keeping to their allocated timeframes.
