"Editorjal TMID: Il-qawwa tal-protesti
Il-qawwa ta’ protesta paċifika qiegħda hemm biex jaraha kulħadd. Il-pajjiż ra ħafna f’dawn l-aħħar snin – protesti kontra art fiż-Żonqor li qed tingħata lill-Università Amerikana ta’ Malta, protesti kontra l-qlugħ mill-għeruq tas-siġar u għall-ħarsien tal-ambjent inġenerali, protesti li jsejħu r-riżenji u t-tmiem tal-korruzzjoni.
L-2019 kienet eżempju perfett tal-impatt li jista’ jkollhom il-protesti, fejn wara l-arrest ta’ Yorgen Fenech fuq il-qtil tal-ġurnalista, Daphne Caruana Galizia, kienu nqalgħu protesti madwar il-pajjiż li jitolbu ġustizzja għall-ġurnalista maqtula, li rriżultaw fir-riżenja ta’ dak iż-żmien. Prim Ministru, Joseph Muscat.
REKLAM
Issa qed jerġgħu jinfaqgħu l-protesti, din id-darba marbuta mal-ftehim infami tal-isptarijiet. Il-qrati kienu annullaw il-ftehim is-sena l-oħra, u semmew il-frodi, deċiżjoni li kienet ikkonfermata wkoll mill-qorti tal-appell, li użat il-kelma kollużjoni fis-sentenza tagħha.
Riċentement ġiet fi tmiemha inkjesta maġisterjali dwar l-aspett kriminali tal-ftehim tal-isptarijiet, u tressqu akkużi fil-qorti. Dawk akkużati jinkludu l-ogħla uffiċjali attwali u eks uffiċjali fil-pajjiż. Fosthom l-eks Prim Ministru, Joseph Muscat, u l-eks Chief of Staff tiegħu, Keith Schembri, kif ukoll l-eks Ministru, Konrad.
Mizzi. Chris Fearne huwa mixli wkoll, u għamel it-tajjeb u rriżenja minn Deputat Prim Ministru u Ministru. Il-Gvernatur tal-Bank Ċentrali, Edward Scicluna, jinsab mixli wkoll, iżda ma rrinunzjax … għandu biex ma jikkawżax ħsara lir-reputazzjoni.
Huma kollha, flimkien mal-oħrajn akkużati, se jkollhom l-opportunità li jiddefendu lilhom infushom fil-qorti, u huma l-qrati li jiddeċiedu jekk humiex ħatja jew innoċenti. Iżda l-Prim Ministru, Robert Abela, ħa d-deċiżjoni li jattakka l-inkjesta maġisterjali, billi qajjem dubji dwar iż-żmien tal-konklużjoni u qajjem mistoqsijiet dwarha.
Huwa għamel ukoll kummenti kontra l-ġurnalisti u rabat xi wħud ma’ dak li sejjaħ ‘l-establishment’. Huwa kors perikoluż li wieħed jieħu peress li jista’ jkun ta’ theddida mhux ħażin għall-ġurnalisti u l-membri tal-ġudikatura. Jista’ wkoll ipoġġi biża’ fl-avukati tal-prosekuzzjoni u l-membri tal-ġudikatura li jkollhom jisimgħu l-kawżi kriminali. Hu mhux il-medja Joe, imma l-Prim Ministru ta’ nazzjon, fejn hemm differenza, u l-azzjonijiet tiegħu huma inaċċettabbli.
Dan kollu wassal biex faqqgħu protesti fil-pajjiż, apparti dikjarazzjonijiet qawwija minn bosta setturi li qalu lill-Prim Ministru biex iwaqqaf l-attakki tiegħu fuq il-ġudikatura u l-ġurnalisti.
Studenti universitarji nġabru fi Triq ir-Repubblika biex jipprotestaw u kollettivament ikkundannaw il-kummenti tal-Prim Ministru Robert Abela kontra l-ġudikatura. Aktar tard il-Partit Nazzjonalista kien għamel protesta tiegħu stess barra l-Parlament, fejn il-Kap tal-PN, Bernard Grech, kien ikkritika d-deċiżjoni tal-Ispeaker tal-Kamra li ma jħallix dibattitu urġenti dwar is-sitwazzjoni riċenti, u qal ukoll li l-protesta kienet biex ‘[ar;u lin-nazzjon minn Abela’ u kkundanna d-dikjarazzjonijiet attakkanti tal-Prim Ministru dwar il-;udikatura.
Aktar tard, kienet organizzata protesta mir-Repubblika, appoġġjata minn 21 għaqda, li sejħet għal Malta nadifa u kkundannat id-dikjarazzjonijiet li għamel il-Prim Ministru kontra ġurnalisti u membri tal-ġudikatura, fost l-oħrajn.
Il-protesti jgħinu biex juru r-rabja tan-nies għas-sitwazzjoni, u jenfasizzaw il-kwistjonijiet li n-nies mhumiex kuntenti bihom. Il-protesti huma b’saħħithom, u l-Prim Ministru assolutament irid jagħti kas ta’ dak li qed jingħad minn dawk ta’ rieda tajba.
Għandu jsejjaħ għat-tneħħija ta’ Scicluna peress li l-pożizzjoni tiegħu, filwaqt li jiffaċċja akkużi serji, mhix tenibbli. Għandu jirtira l-kummenti li għamel dwar l-inkjesta u dwar il-ġurnalisti. Dan huwa dak li hu tajjeb għall-pajjiż.

"TMID 社論：抗議的力量
和平抗議的力量是有目共睹的。近年來，該國發生了許多抗議活動——反對將祖科爾的土地給予馬耳他美國大學、反對拔除樹木和保護環境的抗議、要求辭職和結束腐敗的抗議。
2019 年是抗議活動影響力的一個完美例子，在約爾根·費內奇(Yorgen Fenech) 因記者達芙妮·卡魯阿納·加利齊亞(Daphne Caruana Galizia) 遇刺事件被捕後，全國各地爆發了抗議活動，要求為被謀殺的記者伸張正義，導致當時的記者辭職約瑟夫·馬斯喀特總理。
廣告
現在抗議活動再次爆發，這次與臭名昭著的醫院交易有關。去年，法院以欺詐為由撤銷了該交易，上訴法院也確認了這項決定，上訴法院在判決中使用了「共謀」一詞。
對醫院交易刑事方面的司法調查最近結束，並已向法庭提出指控。被指控的人包括該國現任和前任高級官員。其中包括前總理約瑟夫·馬斯喀特、前幕僚長基思·申布里以及前部長康拉德
米茲。克里斯·費恩（Chris Fearne）也受到指控，他做了正確的事，辭去了副總理和部長的職務。央行行長愛德華·希克魯納（Edward Scicluna）也受到指控，但他還沒有下台……他應該下台，以免造成聲譽損害。
他們所有人以及其他被指控的人都將有機會在法庭上為自己辯護，而法庭將決定他們是否有罪。但總理羅伯特·阿貝拉決定攻擊權威調查，質疑結論的時機並提出質疑。
他也發表過針對記者的評論，並將一些記者與他所謂的「當權派」聯繫起來。這是一條危險的道路，因為它可能對記者和司法人員構成相當大的威脅。它也可能使必須審理刑事案件的檢方律師和司法人員感到恐懼。他不是普通的喬，而是一個國家的總理，這是有區別的，他的行為是不可接受的。
所有這一切都導致該國爆發抗議活動，儘管許多部門發表強烈聲明，要求總理停止攻擊司法機構和記者。
大學生聚集在共和國街抗議，集體譴責總理羅伯特·阿貝拉針對司法機構的言論。國民黨後來在議會外舉行了自己的抗議活動，國民黨領袖伯納德·格雷奇批評眾議院議長不允許就最近局勢進行緊急辯論的決定，並表示抗議是為了“保護國家免受阿貝拉的侵害” ，並譴責總理有關司法機構的攻擊性言論。
隨後，共和黨在 21 個組織的支持下組織了一場抗議活動，呼籲建立一個廉潔的馬耳他，並譴責總理針對記者和司法人員的言論等。
抗議活動有助於表達人們對局勢的憤怒，並突顯人們不滿意的問題。抗議活動很強烈，首相絕對必須留意善意人士的言論。
他必須要求解除希克魯納的職務，因為他的立場雖然面臨嚴重指控，但站不住腳。他必須收回他對調查和記者發表的評論。這才是對國家有利的事。

"TMID Editorial: The power of protests
The power of a peaceful protest is there for all to see. The country has seen many in recent years – protests against land in Żonqor being given to the American University of Malta, protests against the uprooting of trees and to protect the environment in general, to protests calling for resignations and an end to corruption.
2019 was a perfect example of the impact that protests can have, where following the arrest of Yorgen Fenech over the assassination of journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, protests had erupted around the country calling for justice for the murdered journalist, resulting in the resignation of then Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat.
ADVERTISEMENT
Now protests are erupting again, this time tied to the infamous hospitals deal. The courts had annulled the deal last year, mentioning fraud, a decision that was also confirmed by the court of appeal, which used the word collusion in its judgement.
A magisterial inquiry into the criminal aspect of the hospitals deal recently came to a close, and charges have been filed in court. Those charged include current and former top officials in the country. Among them is former Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat, and his former Chief of Staff, Keith Schembri, as well as former Minister, Konrad
Mizzi. Chris Fearne is also charged, and he did the correct thing and resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister. Governor of the Central Bank, Edward Scicluna, is also charged, but he has not stepped down … he should in order not to cause reputational damage.
They all, together with the others charged, will have the opportunity to defend themselves in court, and it is the courts that will decide whether they are guilty or innocent. But Prime Minister, Robert Abela, has taken the decision to attack the magisterial inquiry, by questioning the timing of the conclusion and raising questions about it.
He has also made comments against journalists and tying some to what he has dubbed ‘the establishment’. It is a dangerous course to take as it can be quite threatening to journalists and members of the judiciary. It can also put fear into the prosecution lawyers and members of the judiciary that will have to hear the criminal cases. He is not the average Joe, but the Prime Minister of a nation, where there is a difference, and his actions are unacceptable.
All of this has resulted in protests erupting in the country, aside from strong statements by many sectors telling the Prime Minister to stop his attacks on the judiciary and journalists.
University students gathered in Republic Street to protest and collectively condemned Prime Minister Robert Abela’s comments against the judiciary. The Nationalist Party had later held a protest of its own outside Parliament, where PN Leader, Bernard Grech, had criticised the decision by the Speaker of the House not to allow an urgent debate about the recent situation, and also said that the protest was to ‘protect the nation from Abela’ and condemned the Prime Minister’s attacking statements regarding the judiciary.
Later still, a protest was organised by Repubblika, backed by 21 organisations, calling for a clean Malta and condemning the statements made by the Prime Minister against journalists and members of the judiciary, as amongst other things.
The protests help show the people’s anger at the situation, and highlight the issues that the people are not happy with. Protests are powerful, and the Prime Minister absolutely must take heed of what is being said by those of goodwill.
He must call for the removal of Scicluna as his position, while he faces serious charges, is not tenable. He must retract the comments he has made about the inquiry and about journalists. This is what is right for the country.

"टीएमआईडी संपादकीय: विरोध की शक्ति
शांतिपूर्ण विरोध की शक्ति सभी को देखने को मिलती है। देश ने हाल के वर्षों में बहुत कुछ देखा है - ज़ोन्कोर में भूमि को अमेरिकी माल्टा विश्वविद्यालय को दिए जाने के खिलाफ विरोध प्रदर्शन, पेड़ों को उखाड़ने और सामान्य रूप से पर्यावरण की रक्षा के लिए विरोध प्रदर्शन, इस्तीफे और भ्रष्टाचार को समाप्त करने के लिए विरोध प्रदर्शन।
2019 विरोध प्रदर्शनों के प्रभाव का एक आदर्श उदाहरण था, जहां पत्रकार डैफने कारुआना गैलिज़िया की हत्या पर योर्गेन फेनेच की गिरफ्तारी के बाद, मारे गए पत्रकार के लिए न्याय की मांग करते हुए देश भर में विरोध प्रदर्शन शुरू हो गए थे, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति को इस्तीफा देना पड़ा था। प्रधान मंत्री, जोसेफ मस्कट।
विज्ञापन
अब विरोध प्रदर्शन फिर से भड़क रहे हैं, इस बार यह कुख्यात अस्पताल सौदे से जुड़ा है। अदालतों ने पिछले साल धोखाधड़ी का उल्लेख करते हुए सौदे को रद्द कर दिया था, एक फैसले की अपील की अदालत ने भी पुष्टि की थी, जिसने अपने फैसले में मिलीभगत शब्द का इस्तेमाल किया था।
अस्पताल सौदे के आपराधिक पहलू की मजिस्ट्रेट जांच हाल ही में समाप्त हुई और अदालत में आरोप दायर किए गए हैं। आरोप लगाने वालों में देश के वर्तमान और पूर्व शीर्ष अधिकारी शामिल हैं। इनमें पूर्व प्रधान मंत्री, जोसेफ मस्कट, और उनके पूर्व चीफ ऑफ स्टाफ, कीथ शेम्ब्री, साथ ही पूर्व मंत्री, कोनराड भी शामिल हैं।
मिज्जी. क्रिस फ़र्ने पर भी आरोप लगाया गया है, और उन्होंने सही काम किया और उप प्रधान मंत्री और मंत्री के पद से इस्तीफा दे दिया। सेंट्रल बैंक के गवर्नर, एडवर्ड सिक्लुना पर भी आरोप लगाया गया है, लेकिन उन्होंने पद नहीं छोड़ा है...प्रतिष्ठा को नुकसान न पहुंचे इसलिए उन्हें पद छोड़ना चाहिए।
उन सभी को, अन्य आरोपियों के साथ, अदालत में अपना बचाव करने का अवसर मिलेगा, और अदालतें ही तय करेंगी कि वे दोषी हैं या निर्दोष हैं। लेकिन प्रधान मंत्री रॉबर्ट अबेला ने निष्कर्ष के समय पर सवाल उठाकर और इसके बारे में सवाल उठाकर मजिस्ट्रेट जांच पर हमला करने का निर्णय लिया है।
उन्होंने पत्रकारों के ख़िलाफ़ भी टिप्पणियाँ की हैं और कुछ को उन्होंने 'प्रतिष्ठान' करार दिया है। यह एक खतरनाक रास्ता है क्योंकि यह पत्रकारों और न्यायपालिका के सदस्यों के लिए काफी खतरनाक हो सकता है। यह अभियोजन पक्ष के वकीलों और न्यायपालिका के सदस्यों में भी डर पैदा कर सकता है जिन्हें आपराधिक मामलों की सुनवाई करनी होगी। वह कोई औसत व्यक्ति नहीं हैं, बल्कि एक ऐसे देश के प्रधान मंत्री हैं, जहां मतभेद है और उनके कार्य अस्वीकार्य हैं।
इस सब के परिणामस्वरूप देश में विरोध प्रदर्शन शुरू हो गए हैं, कई क्षेत्रों द्वारा कड़े बयानों के अलावा प्रधानमंत्री से न्यायपालिका और पत्रकारों पर अपने हमलों को रोकने के लिए कहा गया है।
विश्वविद्यालय के छात्र विरोध करने के लिए रिपब्लिक स्ट्रीट में एकत्र हुए और न्यायपालिका के खिलाफ प्रधान मंत्री रॉबर्ट अबेला की टिप्पणियों की सामूहिक रूप से निंदा की। नेशनलिस्ट पार्टी ने बाद में संसद के बाहर अपना विरोध प्रदर्शन किया था, जहां पीएन नेता, बर्नार्ड ग्रेच ने सदन के अध्यक्ष द्वारा हाल की स्थिति के बारे में तत्काल बहस की अनुमति नहीं देने के फैसले की आलोचना की थी, और यह भी कहा था कि यह विरोध प्रदर्शन था। 'देश को अबेला से बचाएं' और न्यायपालिका को लेकर प्रधानमंत्री के हमलावर बयानों की निंदा की.
बाद में भी, रिपब्लिका द्वारा 21 संगठनों के समर्थन से एक विरोध प्रदर्शन आयोजित किया गया, जिसमें स्वच्छ माल्टा का आह्वान किया गया और अन्य बातों के अलावा, पत्रकारों और न्यायपालिका के सदस्यों के खिलाफ प्रधान मंत्री द्वारा दिए गए बयानों की निंदा की गई।
विरोध प्रदर्शन स्थिति पर लोगों का गुस्सा दिखाने में मदद करते हैं, और उन मुद्दों को उजागर करते हैं जिनसे लोग खुश नहीं हैं। विरोध शक्तिशाली है और प्रधानमंत्री को सद्भावना रखने वालों की बातों पर अवश्य ध्यान देना चाहिए।
उन्हें स्किकलुना को हटाने की मांग करनी चाहिए क्योंकि गंभीर आरोपों का सामना करते हुए उनका पद तर्कसंगत नहीं है। उन्हें जांच और पत्रकारों के बारे में की गई टिप्पणियों को वापस लेना चाहिए। यही देश के लिए सही है.

"Editorial TMID: El poder de las protestas
El poder de una protesta pacífica está ahí para que todos lo vean. El país ha sido testigo de muchas en los últimos años: protestas contra la cesión de tierras en Żonqor a la Universidad Americana de Malta, protestas contra el arranque de árboles y para proteger el medio ambiente en general, hasta protestas que piden dimisiones y el fin de la corrupción.
2019 fue un ejemplo perfecto del impacto que pueden tener las protestas, donde tras el arresto de Yorgen Fenech por el asesinato de la periodista Daphne Caruana Galizia, estallaron protestas en todo el país pidiendo justicia para el periodista asesinado, lo que resultó en la renuncia del entonces Primer Ministro, Joseph Muscat.
ANUNCIO
Ahora las protestas están estallando de nuevo, esta vez vinculadas al infame acuerdo con los hospitales. Los tribunales habían anulado el acuerdo el año pasado, alegando fraude, decisión que también fue confirmada por el tribunal de apelación, que utilizó la palabra colusión en su sentencia.
Recientemente concluyó una investigación judicial sobre el aspecto penal del acuerdo con los hospitales y se han presentado cargos ante los tribunales. Entre los acusados ​​se encuentran altos funcionarios actuales y anteriores del país. Entre ellos se encuentra el ex Primer Ministro, Joseph Muscat, y su ex Jefe de Gabinete, Keith Schembri, así como el ex Ministro, Konrad.
Mizzi. Chris Fearne también está acusado e hizo lo correcto y dimitió como viceprimer ministro y ministro. El gobernador del Banco Central, Edward Scicluna, también está acusado, pero no ha dimitido... debería hacerlo para no causar daños a su reputación.
Todos ellos, junto con los demás acusados, tendrán la oportunidad de defenderse ante los tribunales, y serán los tribunales los que decidirán si son culpables o inocentes. Pero el Primer Ministro, Robert Abela, ha tomado la decisión de atacar la investigación magistral, cuestionando el momento de su conclusión y planteando interrogantes al respecto.
También ha hecho comentarios contra periodistas y vinculando a algunos con lo que ha denominado “el establishment”. Es un camino peligroso, ya que puede resultar bastante amenazador para periodistas y miembros del poder judicial. También puede atemorizar a los abogados de la acusación y a los miembros del poder judicial que tendrán que conocer de los casos penales. No es el ciudadano medio, sino el Primer Ministro de una nación donde hay una diferencia y sus acciones son inaceptables.
Todo esto ha provocado protestas en el país, además de fuertes declaraciones de muchos sectores pidiéndole al Primer Ministro que deje de atacar al poder judicial y a los periodistas.
Los estudiantes universitarios se reunieron en Republic Street para protestar y condenar colectivamente los comentarios del Primer Ministro Robert Abela contra el poder judicial. Posteriormente, el Partido Nacionalista celebró su propia protesta frente al Parlamento, donde el líder del PN, Bernard Grech, criticó la decisión del presidente de la Cámara de no permitir un debate urgente sobre la reciente situación, y también dijo que la protesta tenía como objetivo 'proteger a la nación de Abela' y condenó las declaraciones ofensivas del Primer Ministro contra el poder judicial.
Más tarde, la República organizó una protesta, respaldada por 21 organizaciones, pidiendo una Malta limpia y condenando, entre otras cosas, las declaraciones del Primer Ministro contra periodistas y miembros del poder judicial.
Las protestas ayudan a mostrar el enojo de la gente por la situación y resaltan los problemas con los que la gente no está contenta. Las protestas son poderosas y el Primer Ministro debe absolutamente prestar atención a lo que dicen las personas de buena voluntad.
Debe pedir la destitución de Scicluna ya que su posición, aunque enfrenta graves acusaciones, no es sostenible. Debe retractarse de los comentarios que ha hecho sobre la investigación y sobre los periodistas. Esto es lo correcto para el país.

"Éditorial TMID : Le pouvoir des protestations
Le pouvoir d’une manifestation pacifique est là, aux yeux de tous. Le pays en a connu de nombreuses ces dernières années : des manifestations contre la cession de terres à Żonqor à l'Université américaine de Malte, des manifestations contre le déracinement des arbres et pour la protection de l'environnement en général, des manifestations appelant à la démission et à la fin de la corruption.
L'année 2019 a été un parfait exemple de l'impact que peuvent avoir les manifestations : à la suite de l'arrestation de Yorgen Fenech suite à l'assassinat de la journaliste Daphne Caruana Galizia, des manifestations ont éclaté dans tout le pays pour réclamer justice pour le journaliste assassiné, ce qui a entraîné la démission de celui-ci. Premier ministre, Joseph Muscat.
PUBLICITÉ
Aujourd’hui, les protestations éclatent à nouveau, cette fois liées au tristement célèbre accord sur les hôpitaux. La justice avait annulé l'accord l'année dernière, invoquant une fraude, une décision également confirmée par la cour d'appel, qui a utilisé le mot collusion dans son jugement.
Une enquête magistrale sur l'aspect criminel de l'accord sur les hôpitaux a récemment pris fin et des accusations ont été déposées devant le tribunal. Parmi les personnes inculpées figurent des hauts responsables actuels et anciens du pays. Parmi eux figurent l'ancien Premier ministre Joseph Muscat et son ancien chef de cabinet Keith Schembri, ainsi que l'ancien ministre Konrad.
Mizzi. Chris Fearne est également accusé, et il a fait le bon choix en démissionnant de son poste de vice-premier ministre et de ministre. Le gouverneur de la Banque centrale, Edward Scicluna, est également inculpé, mais il n'a pas démissionné… il devrait le faire pour ne pas nuire à sa réputation.
Tous, ainsi que les autres accusés, auront la possibilité de se défendre devant le tribunal, et ce sont les tribunaux qui décideront s'ils sont coupables ou innocents. Mais le Premier ministre, Robert Abela, a pris la décision de s'en prendre à l'enquête magistrale, en remettant en question le timing de sa conclusion et en soulevant des questions à son sujet.
Il a également fait des commentaires contre les journalistes et en a lié certains à ce qu’il a surnommé « l’establishment ». Il s’agit d’une démarche dangereuse car elle peut s’avérer très menaçante pour les journalistes et les membres du pouvoir judiciaire. Cela peut également semer la peur chez les avocats du parquet et chez les membres du pouvoir judiciaire qui devront entendre les affaires pénales. Il n’est pas un Joe moyen, mais le Premier ministre d’un pays où il y a une différence et où ses actions sont inacceptables.
Tout cela a donné lieu à des protestations dans le pays, outre les déclarations fermes de nombreux secteurs demandant au Premier ministre de cesser ses attaques contre le pouvoir judiciaire et les journalistes.
Les étudiants universitaires se sont rassemblés rue de la République pour protester et ont condamné collectivement les propos du Premier ministre Robert Abela contre le système judiciaire. Le Parti nationaliste a ensuite organisé une manifestation devant le Parlement, au cours de laquelle le leader du PN, Bernard Grech, a critiqué la décision du président de la Chambre de ne pas autoriser un débat urgent sur la situation récente, et a également déclaré que la manifestation avait pour but de ""protéger la nation d'Abela"" et a condamné les déclarations offensives du Premier ministre à l'égard du système judiciaire.
Plus tard encore, une manifestation a été organisée par Repubblika, soutenue par 21 organisations, appelant à une Malte propre et condamnant, entre autres, les déclarations du Premier ministre à l'encontre des journalistes et des membres du pouvoir judiciaire.
Les manifestations contribuent à montrer la colère de la population face à la situation et à mettre en lumière les problèmes qui ne la satisfont pas. Les protestations sont puissantes et le premier ministre doit absolument tenir compte de ce qui se dit des gens de bonne volonté.
Il doit demander le renvoi de Scicluna car sa position, bien qu'il fasse face à de graves accusations, n'est pas tenable. Il doit retirer les propos qu'il a tenus sur l'enquête et sur les journalistes. C'est ce qui est bon pour le pays.

"TMID-Editorial: Die Macht der Proteste
Die Kraft eines friedlichen Protests ist für alle sichtbar. Das Land hat in den letzten Jahren viele erlebt – Proteste gegen die Übergabe von Land in Żonqor an die American University of Malta, Proteste gegen das Entwurzeln von Bäumen und den Schutz der Umwelt im Allgemeinen, bis hin zu Protesten, die Rücktritte und ein Ende der Korruption fordern.
Das Jahr 2019 war ein perfektes Beispiel für die Auswirkungen, die Proteste haben können. Nach der Verhaftung von Yorgen Fenech wegen der Ermordung der Journalistin Daphne Caruana Galizia kam es im ganzen Land zu Protesten, die Gerechtigkeit für die ermordete Journalistin forderten, was zu dessen Rücktritt führte Premierminister Joseph Muscat.
WERBUNG
Jetzt kommt es erneut zu Protesten, diesmal im Zusammenhang mit dem berüchtigten Krankenhausdeal. Die Gerichte hatten den Deal letztes Jahr unter Berufung auf Betrug annulliert, eine Entscheidung, die auch vom Berufungsgericht bestätigt wurde, das in seinem Urteil das Wort „Kollusion“ verwendete.
Eine gerichtliche Untersuchung des strafrechtlichen Aspekts des Krankenhausgeschäfts wurde kürzlich abgeschlossen, und es wurde Anklage vor Gericht erhoben. Zu den Angeklagten zählen aktuelle und ehemalige Spitzenbeamte des Landes. Unter ihnen sind der ehemalige Premierminister Joseph Muscat und sein ehemaliger Stabschef Keith Schembri sowie der ehemalige Minister Konrad
Mizzi. Chris Fearne wird ebenfalls angeklagt, und er hat das Richtige getan und ist als stellvertretender Premierminister und Minister zurückgetreten. Auch der Gouverneur der Zentralbank, Edward Scicluna, wird angeklagt, aber er ist nicht zurückgetreten … das sollte er tun, um keinen Reputationsschaden zu verursachen.
Sie alle werden zusammen mit den anderen Angeklagten die Möglichkeit haben, sich vor Gericht zu verteidigen, und es sind die Gerichte, die darüber entscheiden werden, ob sie schuldig oder unschuldig sind. Aber Premierminister Robert Abela hat beschlossen, die richterliche Untersuchung anzugreifen, indem er den Zeitpunkt des Abschlusses in Frage stellte und Fragen dazu aufwarf.
Er hat auch Kommentare gegen Journalisten abgegeben und einige davon mit dem in Verbindung gebracht, was er als „das Establishment“ bezeichnet. Es ist ein gefährlicher Kurs, da er für Journalisten und Mitglieder der Justiz eine große Bedrohung darstellen kann. Es kann auch den Anwälten der Staatsanwaltschaft und den Mitgliedern der Justiz, die die Strafsachen anhören müssen, Angst einjagen. Er ist nicht der durchschnittliche Joe, sondern der Premierminister einer Nation, in der es Unterschiede gibt und seine Handlungen inakzeptabel sind.
All dies hat zu Protesten im Land geführt, abgesehen von energischen Erklärungen vieler Sektoren, in denen der Premierminister aufgefordert wurde, seine Angriffe auf die Justiz und Journalisten einzustellen.
Universitätsstudenten versammelten sich in der Republic Street, um zu protestieren und verurteilten gemeinsam die Äußerungen von Premierminister Robert Abela gegen die Justiz. Die Nationalistische Partei hatte später einen eigenen Protest vor dem Parlament abgehalten, bei dem PN-Chef Bernard Grech die Entscheidung des Sprechers des Repräsentantenhauses kritisiert hatte, keine Dringlichkeitsdebatte über die aktuelle Situation zuzulassen, und auch erklärt hatte, dass der Protest dies sei „Beschütze die Nation vor Abela“ und verurteilte die angreifenden Äußerungen des Premierministers in Bezug auf die Justiz.
Noch später organisierte Repubblika mit Unterstützung von 21 Organisationen einen Protest, der ein sauberes Malta forderte und unter anderem die Äußerungen des Premierministers gegen Journalisten und Mitglieder der Justiz verurteilte.
Die Proteste tragen dazu bei, die Wut der Menschen über die Situation zu zeigen und die Probleme hervorzuheben, mit denen die Menschen nicht zufrieden sind. Die Proteste sind heftig, und der Premierminister muss unbedingt darauf achten, was diejenigen guten Willens sagen.
Er muss die Absetzung von Scicluna fordern, da seine Position, obwohl er mit schweren Vorwürfen konfrontiert ist, nicht haltbar ist. Er muss seine Kommentare zur Untersuchung und zu Journalisten zurückziehen. Das ist das Richtige für das Land.

ISO little or middle who enjoy a benevolent Dictator who will support them in coloring their color books but then find themselves gagging on something big as they orgasm for His pleasure. Sapiosexual who desires to be micromanaged, spanked/slapped, disciplined and maybe humiliated privately. A pacifier goes into your mouth and you sleep on the floor when you are not a good gal.
You should be on the slender side with curves and a pretty face. A lack of deference towards Me is a good way to get dropped. I can be cruel at times and this should arouse you. Bonus points if you get aroused while giving oral to Me and like to roleplay — you enjoy wearing stylish makeup, you’re multiorgasmic (faking it nicely is acceptable) because I can cum three times in an extended lovemaking with the right person, you're a cuckquean or you are busty to your frame. Extra bonus points for enjoying free use, domestic discipline, patriarch, CNC, begging and orgasm denial.
55 SWM lean muscled build (5’11”), hairy chest and often taken for 40s (recently a colleague who is seven years younger than me said, “When you get to be my age you will understand how getting old wears the body down.” This was his response when I invited him on a seven-mile hike)! Couple of body pics on my feed.
I tend to be a protective teacher Daddy type who obviously enjoys teaching you. It should warm your heart if I start to look out for you outside of the bedroom. My vanilla interests: hot yoga, cultural knowledge, tabletop gaming, video games (preference for Steam), novels, movies & movie trivia, travel, History, red wine, hiking & the many Metaverses.
This is a shared fantasy between two consenting adults - 20 or older - probably no older than 43. This could go towards an LTR in which case you would sometimes need to act “normal” in public circles. Ideally, you are a clever and pretty woman who likes to privately play out some very naughty fantasies. I tend to lean toward traditional roles in a romantic relationship.
If I like you enough to go from online to audio and then in-person you should be vaccinated like me and willing to prove it. Long-term audio partners who are never able to meet might work. When I become exclusive with someone you should understand it means the breaking of our audio interactions - unless it arouses her that I am with other women.
I am exacting and seeking a quality experience. When you contact Me put “Excalibur” in your detailed message explaining why I should consider you. If you cannot write at least five sentences to me in your reply I doubt you will get a response. Be ready to voice verify a file to me to prove you are not some guy trolling.

Online Keywords and Predictive Programming in the YouTube Comments Section

When you watch trending videos and songs on YouTube and Instagram, they often carry subliminal messages. These messages are planted in our minds using specific keywords, phrases, and music frequencies. They can trigger specific memories and emotions, resonating with fear, FOMO (fear of missing out), extreme emotional uncertainty, and social injustice. These are the things we see and feel but can't easily express.
These strategies are used to program our minds on a mass level, shaping our thinking and actions. For example, in a comedy show, we are prompted to laugh at jokes even if they are poor. Similarly, we may feel a sense of lack and victimhood when we see emotional advertisements on Instagram about hungry children.
The comment section has become a new area where predictive programming occurs. When we read the comments with the highest likes, we often receive subliminal messages that sync with the video's music, specific messages, the pauses in the speech, and even the reception from our earphones (left and right ear hearing).

How to Spot the Effects

1. Old memories of lack and victimhood will surface.
2. Excessive smoking and anxiety.
3. You will start to criticize more in your speech and will have extreme viewpoints.
4. Pleasure-gratifying fast food and spicy food cravings.
5. You will be motivated to do something but will stop the efforts quickly.
6. Watching accident videos online.

The predictive programming is designed to create chemical issues in the mind, causing it to release cortisol. The more cortisol in the body, the more it goes into flight or fight mode. These are all tactics used to condition you because your mind creates a stronger grip over your negativity.

How to Combat Predictive Programming

Meditation, dhyāna (focused meditation), and vivek (discrimination or discernment) are essential to seeing these influences as they are and deleting the memories and their adverse effects.

Just adding to the success stories (as some of the other stories scared me before my op, but I think people are more likely to come online to share worries and concerns rather than good news. I had my op 6 weeks ago and have absolutely no gastro issues. I’ve been eating all of the stuff I missed - cheese, ice cream etc and haven’t had any problems - no gas, no constipation, no diarrhoea. I feel free again! Good luck with your surgeries.

Hi everyone – I’ve recently been building a weekly business newsletter called Pulse of Progress and got my first 1,100 subscribers in just 14 days!
The best part? I used zero paid ads. All of my subs were completely free!
Here’s how I did it.
But first, let me provide some context…
For the last 6 months, I’ve been testing out different side hustle / business ideas. I have a running list of ideas that I test on forums like Reddit and Indie Hacker to get a pulse on what the public thinks. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to validate an idea before investing any money or serious time into it. If it gets some traction or interest in the first few days, you know you have something. If not, its time to move on.
I start by generating some interest on social platforms and freelance websites (side note – I’ve come up with a method that helps me do this and get tangible results. So, if this is something you want to learn more about, let me know. I’ll make a post around this too). It’s an approach I’ve developed and tested over the last year with other ideas, so I just do the same with all other ideas I want to test / validate in the future. I want to see results fast, not waste time on non-value add activities.
Here are some of the business ideas I’ve tested:
1. Newsletter sponsorship marketplace – created a platform connecting newsletter businesses with potential advertisers. The marketplace allows the businesses to post their content and advertisers to find and book ad slots
2. AI based email marketing optimization tool – developed an AI tool that analyzes email marketing campaigns and provides optimization suggestions to improve open rates, click-through rates, and conversions
3. Remote language exchange facilitation – pair individuals looking to learn each other’s languages and facilitate their language exchange sessions online
I shut all of these down. I couldn’t get the momentum I wanted or hoped for to consider them a success. The AI based email marketing optimization tool went viral on Hacker News and Indie Hacker, but it was because I was able to generate some hype around it for a short period of time. But the hype faded fast…real fast. I had about 100 people sign up for the service. As for my other businesses, I had a few signups here and there but nothing worth keeping the business alive and investing more of my time into it.
Something I want to call out at this point: all of the businesses I tried starting in the past were bootstrapped. I never used money I made from the sale of my other businesses. I sold one business (a virtual event planning business that took off during the pandemic. We organized and managed virtual events, think webinars / workshops / conferences, for specific interest groups and professional communities). I never touched the proceeds from that sale to start the company I currently run. The reason I bring this up is because I think your business, regardless of what it is, needs to stand on its own. If it couldn’t, I knew it was time to move on. I didn’t want to give myself a false sense of hope that it would work by continuously throwing money at it.
The reason I started a business newsletter…
A newsletter was perfect. It was easy to start and required no money to get it up and running. The purpose behind the newsletter was centered around the idea of creating something that informed and educated people but was entertaining to read. Reading in general, news or not, can sometimes feel like a chore (at least for me). This was the opposite. This was something you genuinely looked forward to reading, the things that influence your world and the decisions you make on a daily basis.
The biggest issue I had with everything else out there was that the content was around things I didn’t care about. Not to mention it put me to sleep half the time. And that’s when it hit me – create a platform that genuinely helped people stay ahead in this information heavy world. Filter out the nonsense, deliver on high-value content.
The test phase…
I spent a couple hours looking up any Facebook group that was related to starting side hustles, escaping the 9-5 grind, online businesses etc. Once I came up with a small list of about 8-10 groups, I spent the next few days posting about the newsletter. One caveat for me when looking for which groups to post in: they needed to have more than 50K users. I wanted my posts to have some reach and didn’t want to waste my time in groups that were smaller and were barely active. I also designed some GIFs (I drew inspiration from the early Milk Road days when they posted funny GIFs / memes about their newsletter all over social media) but that didn’t work. Like at all. So, I shifted gears.
The first day, I posted about the newsletter in 8 different groups and got about 45 subscribers the next day. Over the next two weeks, I spent a couple of hours each day making similar posts within these groups and tried finding other groups I can post in. This proved to be successful. Making consistent posts got people engaged and subscribing to the newsletter. It was starting to gain some steam. And this is what lead to my first 1,100 subscribers in the first 14 days.
Why this worked…
1. Value creation: The best ideas appeal to what people want, and more importantly, need. It helps solve a problem. And in this case, people want high quality content that helps them make informed decisions, educates them along the way and is a joy to read.
2. Helps identify trends before they happen: Understanding emerging trends and market dynamics is crucial for staying ahead. This knowledge allows people to adapt quickly, innovate effectively, and capitalize on new market opportunities.
3. Sparks innovation and creativity: Exposure to different perspectives and new information sparks innovation and creative thinking. Staying informed about global trends, tech advancements, and industry breakthroughs inspires new ideas and approaches.
Things to keep in mind…
What I’ve realized is that you want your ideas to generate a “natural pull” from the world. It shouldn’t be something you “push” onto people. Trying to convince people they need something that doesn’t help improve their lives or satisfy a need is a waste of time. Listen to what people want. And build from there.
I’ve had multiple profitable businesses and the common theme between them all is that they cost me less than $100 to start and get product / market fit. I won’t lie, sometimes I let my ego get in the way when I put an idea out there and it got rejected. And trust me when I tell you, that’s happened more often than I’d like to admit. I spent way too much time and money putting something together even when I knew it wasn’t worth pursuing.
How does that saying go…the one about Thomas Edison and his attempt at building the first light bulb after trying and failing 1000 times. “I haven’t failed. I just found 1000 different ways how not to build a lightbulb.” And that’s just it…who cares if the idea didn’t work. Hate to break it to you, but most will. Instead, focus on the skills you’ve picked up and learned along the way while building this business and apply it to the next.
Anyways, I hope this post helps at least one person grow their business, subs count, social media presence. Now that I’ve grown my audience to over 10K subscribers organically, I’m looking into using paid ads to grow even more from here. The problem is I have no idea how to do that! So, if anyone has any tips or tricks, I’d love to hear them.
Good luck my friends.

Hello religion. Let me explain my story and then follow up with questions I have pertaining to it.
I grew up in a secular household. During my first summer vacation being at home rather than day care I decided to spend it researching various different religions before broadband existed, on my dial-up America Online Internet. This was when I was 12. I had my epiphany when I was 14 and over the course of several decades looked for a religion that aligned with it. I eventually found the fictional religion of Earthseed that seemed to, in a very vague way, agree with what I came to believe two decades ago.
However, between the epiphany and discovering Earthseed, I had an interesting journey. Several Christians trying to convince me of their religion and me rejecting it. Several people calling me an atheist because of that. Several other religions I looked into and some of them I tried to become a devout believer, but couldn't.
Out of those religions one of them was the Baha’i Faith. I tried to become a Baha'i at one point but ultimately found myself in a spiral of self-denial when I did the rituals. I wanted to be Baha'i but I couldn't force myself because the religion denies many fundamentals of my beliefs.
I also tried Unitarian Universalism. Out of any religion that has ever existed, UUism really does feel like a choice. However, my politics does not align with theirs, and after I moved out of the city, lost interest. I don't own a car and getting to the church would now take over an hour to do. There is the Church of the Larger Fellowship who connect online and I could partake in that, but after listening to several sermons online about their apathetic nature to theology, and the lack of enthusiasm my Chalice Circle had to talking about religious topics, I lost my interest in the religion and I don't think I have a choice to go back because I would be forcing myself to do something I don't want to do.
I'm still a declared Baha'i and UU and get magazines from both religions in the mail, but at this point I don't consider myself a member of either. Or if I am I am a lapsed member. My point is, before I found Earthseed I found these religions and they sounded good on paper to me, which was the reason why I decided to follow and try to practice them, but for one reason or another, felt like I was denying myself for who I really was. For the Baha'i Faith I was denying my basic theology and for UUism I was denying the fact that my family and I identify and lean more into conservativism and Republicanism.
So my question is, after explaining this short story is, do we actually have a choice as to what religion we can be? I know there are people who can self-deny and compartmentalize themselves to fit in the mold of basically any religion that offers the most support for them. My best friend does this exceptionally well in fact. But I'm not the kind of person who can do that. I can't be of a certain religion unless I consider myself orthodox to the other members and the only religion my views align with is Earthseed.
But did I really choose my own beliefs? Did you choose your own beliefs? Do people in general choose their beliefs, or are their beliefs given to them by their parents or environment? As my parents never really spoke to me about these issues and don't really have much of an opinion on them I was raised in secularism and honestly even with the religion I am orthodox to, I still live a secular lifestyle. My parents themselves are ex-Catholic atheists and gave me the time to allow me to explore my own beliefs. And there have been conversations with them that I've influenced them, as much as they don't like to admit it.
But really think about it. You're born and raised in a religion or not. You exist somewhere where certain churches are closer to you. No matter how creative or logical you can be, your brain cannot understand the whole picture going on, no matter how you research religion on the Internet. And your experiences you live through will over time shape your thoughts and feelings on the matter. Does anyone ever honestly have an unbiased choice when deciding which religion they follow? Is there such a thing as an unbiased choice regarding religion?
It literally took me over a decade of research and I had to broaden my research deeply to find out about Earthseed. Even though I was in my 30s by the time I found it, I firmly consider myself a believer of it since I was 14, because in The Parable of the Sower I came to the same conclusions the protagonist did when she was forming Earthseed. Which is three main things: process theology, syntheism and cosmism. The Baha'i Faith simply doesn't believe that, the Unitarians don't focus on it, and I feel like even though I had called myself agnostic for a long time, this religion, albeit fictional in nature, is the closest I've come to believing in an orthodox creed.
But do I, and by extension we, actually have the capability of making that choice or are we just a product of our environment and experiences? Is there an inherent bias to every religious belief that we're influenced by? Does free will truly exist when deciding a religion?
Let us know what you think below.

i'm 5'3.7 and about 173 pounds and pretty lean. i've had no libido or anything for about 1 yr and 7 months and i havent gotten it checked buy a doctor or anything because i was in a deficit of about 1500 calories for a few months and noticed it completely go in a week out of nowhere and hasn't returned since i came off of deficit about 8 months ago and i'm only now on the nhs list waiting for an appointment. The only reason i didn't get help sooner when i notice it disappear is i knew that a calorie deficit can cause low libido and so i was like it makes sense but i should have realised it was an issue when it had COMPLETELY gone. I eat healthily, workout 6 days a week strength training, and i sleep very well. i also notice the tactile sensation feel on my penis is different since the loss of libido aswell as the pressure feel and sensitivity feeling. i got a full blood count test from a gp and it said my vitamin b12 and folate was normal, testosterone was ''normal'' but didn't even give a number and blood sugar was normal. after researching online i think it's caused by a dysfunction thyroid or hormone imbalance with testosterone or any of the major hormones involved with sexual function and desire because my lifestyle is really good. i take a mens multivitamin aswell as 50mg zinc, 1500mg magnesium with 315mg elemental magnesium, vitamin d3 k2 4000iu. i also react to sexual stimuli by getting an arection but there is no pleasure masturbating or anything, i still produce precum, but i notice the erection go down quickly if im not looking at stimulation like porn and its hard to keep it at 10/10 strength, it's normally at like a 8. it's weird because i dont feel any adverse affects of low hormones and low testosterone like fatigue/mood swings/bad sleep/hair loss and all those symptoms.
I drink caffeine quite alot about 3 to 5 pepsi max cherries a day for the majority of the time this has happened but only recently i've cut down to 1 a few days.
even with my gf i dont get sexual desires or horniness for her at all, even physically tocuhing theres nothing.
i dont smoke or do any alcohol or anything.
And my mental health is fine no depression, no stress, no anxiety. so im kinda completely lost on what to do other than wait for a urologist to treat me.

OK so I know a lot of people already hate Steam here but like nobody mentions just how shit the reviews are.
I find it utterly ridiculous that so many shit games get a positive rating when they're literally amateur games clearly made by a fucking "how to make 'blank' tutorial" and yet all these crappy games get positive scores!
If I want honest reviews I'm always having to look at the negative reviews simply because 95% of fanbitches are simping for their garbage game nobody wants to play in the first place.
I mean yes it's obvious that Steam has it's issues, but am I the only one that's just annoyed by the clutter of shovelware and hentai shit that's getting positive ratings!? I'm not even shaming anyone for porn but the games on Steam are terrible quality. Why do people even buy that shit when they can just look it job for free online!?

Hey folks -- I'm paring back my collection and looking for a buyer for the whole thing. I won't sell individual pieces. I've got an offer from one of the online stores for $1250 for store credit, so that's my minimum, and you pay shipping (it's ~7 file boxes full). Let me know if you're interested. It contains...

i've had no libido or anything for about 1 yr and 7 months and i havent gotten it checked buy a doctor or anything because i was in a deficit of about 1500 calories for a few months and noticed it completely go in a week out of nowhere and hasn't returned since i came off of deficit about 8 months ago and i'm only now on the nhs list waiting for an appointment. The only reason i didn't get help sooner when i notice it disappear is i knew that a calorie deficit can cause low libido and so i was like it makes sense but i should have realised it was an issue when it had COMPLETELY gone. I eat healthily, workout 6 days a week strength training, and i sleep very well. i also notice the tactile sensation feel on my penis is different since the loss of libido aswell as the pressure feel and sensitivity feeling. i got a full blood count test from a gp and it said my vitamin b12 and folate was normal, testosterone was ''normal'' but didn't even give a number and blood sugar was normal. after researching online i think it's caused by a dysfunction thyroid or hormone imbalance with testosterone or any of the major hormones involved with sexual function and desire because my lifestyle is really good. i take a mens multivitamin aswell as 50mg zinc, 1500mg magnesium with 315mg elemental magnesium, vitamin d3 k2 4000iu. i also react to sexual stimuli by getting an arection but there is no pleasure masturbating or anything, i still produce precum, but i notice the erection go down quickly if im not looking at stimulation like porn and its hard to keep it at 10/10 strength, it's normally at like a 8. it's weird because i dont feel any adverse affects of low hormones and low testosterone like fatigue/mood swings/bad sleep/hair loss and all those symptoms.
And my mental health is fine no depression, no stress, no anxiety. so im kinda completely lost on what to do other than wait for a urologist to treat me.

I’ll start with a little background. I’m 29 F with a 28 M. My boyfriend and I got together almost 2 years ago, I knew his mom passed away about a year and a half or 2 years prior but a few months in the relationship I could tell he was depressed. His family doesn’t believe in therapists and medicine for mental health so it took me some convincing for me to get him to give it a try, I just knew how I benefited from it and I wanted to see him happy! He got on depression medication and 4 months into the relationship we got pregnant! Yeah I know it was fast but we love our beautiful girl (8mths) so much! Anyways I had some hormone issues for the first month and a half and wasn’t feeling sex atp. Then things went back to normal and I was ready for sex again. Then he didn’t want to have sex much he said the pregnancy thing was messing him up to go with the medication messing with his sex drive. Then I found condoms in his wallet (he said he found them in his old apartment as he was cleaning it out because he was moving in with me, so he just picked them up and put them in his wallet 🙄) PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE YOUR OPINION ON THAT! IVE NEVER GOTTEN THE TRUTH. Now that our baby girl is 8 months old we have had sex maybe 2-3 times since she was born and since we didn’t really get a chance to get to know each other I’m learning that I don’t really like the person he is! He is not a very compassionate person, he is not romantic, he is quite an asshole to everyone( he says you cant go around being nice to people or you will get f'ed over), he doesn’t communicate well, he doesn’t have really and personal or life goals, he is stubborn, he is not open minded at all and if he doesn’t want to do something he will not do it even if it wouldn’t take much effort to please me he just refuses. On the flip side he allows me to stay home with the baby (I do teach online and do hair on the side) and he pays the rent. I love him but I don’t like him.
Any advise? I can handle it lol

Hey everyone!
I recently completed a fun project that I think fans of "An Understated Dominance" will appreciate, especially those who have struggled with reading the novel online due to website clutter and distractions.
I've created a clean, distraction-free EPUB version of the novel that you can download and read on your preferred device. You can get it here: EPUB Download.
Why I did this: The original website hosting the novel has a lot of distractions that can take away from the reading experience. My goal was to provide a seamless reading experience that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the story without unnecessary interruptions.
Project Details: For those interested in the technical side, here's a brief overview of how I created the EPUB:

• Web Scraping: I used Python with libraries like requests and BeautifulSoup to scrape all 2240 chapters of the novel.
• Concurrency: Leveraged concurrent.futures to speed up the scraping process.
• Retries: Implemented retry logic with tenacity to handle any request failures.
• EPUB Creation: Used ebooklib to compile the scraped content into an EPUB file, complete with chapter headers and a cover image.

You can check out the full code for this project on my GitHub: GitHub Repository.
Feedback & Collaboration: I’d love to hear your thoughts on the EPUB. Feel free to download, read, and let me know if you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvements. If you're interested in collaborating on similar projects or have any ideas, I'm all ears!
Enjoy the novel, and happy reading!
