These are the stories which made it to the front pages of Monday's newspapers:

The Times of Malta leads with a message from the Archbishop Charles Scicluna on the perils of xenophobia, with his saying that we should not distinguish between citizens and migrants. It also reports on the political party leaders' Sunday meetings during which each was blaming the other for the country's ills, as the forthcoming elections approach.

The Malta Independent warns that the amount of irregular migrants crossing from Libya is set to increase due to the improving weather and worsening fighting there. It also reports that the owners of a small fuel station in Victoria are applying to move it out of the urban core - to a site in Birżebbuġa.

L-Orizzont also reports on the speech made by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat on Sunday, in which he said that the May 25 election would be all about the 'credibility' of promises made, as well as a story about someone whose suicidal intentions were thwarted after a Facebook post raised the alarm.

In-Nazzjon quotes from Opposition leader Adrian Delia's speech, in which he warns that the European Socialist Party in the European Parliament want to remove sovereignty over fiscal decisions.
