The following are the top stories in the national press today.

Minister's Konrad Mizzi's Panama company continues to dominate most of the newspapers today.

Times of Malta says Energy and Health Minister Konrad Mizzi said he will close down his contentious Panamanian company as the Opposition called a national protest against corruption. The newspaper also speaks to Justice Minister Owen Bonnici who defended his judicial reform Bill saying it was constitutionally sound. Opposition spokesman Jason Azzopardi, however, warned that there will be no consensus unless it was changed from scratch.

The Malta Independent also leads with Dr Mizzi’s statement that he will be closing his Panama company “to avoid baseless speculation and also to respond to genuine feedback”.

In-Nazzjon dedicates most of its front page to a news conference given by Opposition leader Simon Busuttil yesterday evening during which he announced the national protest against corruption.

L-Orizzont says that PN president Ann Fenech’s company Fenech & Fenech Advocates was given 150 contracts by direct order from Air Malta to a total value of €510,000.
