Larkin Zahra wins
Larkin Zahra
Larkin Zahra has won a Facebook contest to form part of an EU delegation which will receive the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in a few weeks' time.
He won a Facebook competition after beating off a surge by Italian voters last night.
Zahra was among 5,397 young Europeans who participated in a contest where participants were asked: What does peace in Europe mean to you?
Larkin's reply was: My grandparents would have said "a dream". My parents would have said "a process". I say that it's my everyday reality!
He and 15 other contestants were shortlisted and people could vote for the winner on Facebook.
The Maltese contestant received 8,094 votes, slightly more than the Italian runner-up.

Goes to show how much the rest of Europe cares about the EU and its gimmicks. From the Netherlands, with a population of some 16.7 million, over 40 times that of Malta, only 141 bothered to vote. Most were probably facebook friends and relatives of the candidate. Same applies to Poland. F'Malta biss għad hawn min hu ferħan għax baħnan, bl-eluf!

Sur Sammut, mid-dehra la int u lanqas xi hadd ta' madwarek ghadu m'ghamel uzu mill-opportunitajiet ENORMI li toffri l-UE fil-kamp ta' edukazzjoni, fil-kamp ta' tahrig, fil-kamp ta' esperjenza u fil-kamp ta' xoghol TA' KWALITA'! Tasal bhala bniedem maqtugh sew minn dak kollu li hi l-UE. Sfortuna.
