The Times of Malta gives prominence to another of the stories to emerge from the Daphne Project, this time about the negative impact of the deal made with Azerbaijan on gas purchases. It also carries an appeal by the President of Malta for more time to debate the amendment to the IVF law. She also offered to mediate.

The Malta Independent follows up on the petition for the removal of the head of Valletta 18, Jason Micallef, with the committee that selected Valletta as cultural capital saying that he was a symptom of a 'bigger' democratic problem. It also writes that magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera is being considered for the next post of judge.

In-Nazzjon picks up on the Azerbaijan story, asking where the €40 million went, and also on the Jason Micallef petition.

L-Orizzont notes that unemployment had gone down below 2,000 and would fall further, and also writes that it was threatened by former Opposition Leader Simon Busuttil over the revelation that his car had been used for posters put up by Occupy Justice. So much for freedom of expression and protection of journalists, it says.
