1039 L-OCD tiegħi kien qed jispiċċa barra mill-kontroll - u bdejt inżur il-195 pajjiż kollha Cameron Mofid kellu 20 sena meta s-saħħa mentali tiegħu marret għall-agħar matul il-Covid. Fil-bżonn ta 'distrazzjoni, huwa beda scrolling siti tal-ivvjaġġar, u induna li kien hemm rekord straordinarju li jista' potenzjalment jikser. Il-vjaġġ tiegħu kien se jbiddel kollox F'Mejju2020, xahar fl-ewwel lockdown Covid f'Miami, Florida, l-istudent ta '20 sena Cameron Mofid sab id-disturb ossessiv-kompulsiv (OCD) tiegħu li beda jispiċċa barra mill-kontroll. "Ġejt iddijanjostikat għall-ewwel darba bil-kundizzjoni meta kelli 12-il sena. Jipproduċi ħsibijiet ossessivi li jmexxu kompulsjonijiet bħall-ħasil tal-idejn, tapping jew replaying bla tmiem konversazzjonijiet. Meta kont waħdi fl-appartament mingħajr fejn immur matul il-Covid, dawk il-ħsibijiet intrużivi marru ħafna għall-agħar," jgħid. "Jista 'jsir paraliżi li tkun imwaħħal f'ċirku mentali. Kien inkwetanti u ħassejt li verament kelli bżonn noħroġ minn rasi u dak l-ispazju. " With nothing else to do, Mofid started searching through travel destinations on his laptop, hopeing for a near future where borders would reopen and he could leave. Hekk kif skrollja, huwa ltaqa 'ma' fatt li kien se jbiddel ħajtu. "Rajt li aktar nies kienu fl-ispazju milli żaru l-195 pajjiż fid-dinja," jgħid. "Kont ixxukkjat li daqshekk ftit nies – madwar 300 – raw id-dinja, u tgħallimt ukoll li, skont il-pjattaforma u l-komunità tal-ivvjaġġar, Nomad Mania, l-età tal-iżgħar persuna li żżur kull pajjiż dak iż-żmien kienet ta' 27 sena. Ridt nagħmel xi ħaġa impossibbli: iddeċidejt li negħleb dak ir-rekord. " L-età tad-detentur tar-Rekord Dinji tal-Guinness għall-proeza, dak iż-żmien, kienet ta' 21 sena, iżda Mofid innota li r-regoli tal-Guinness World Records kienu ppermettew l-użu ta' tranżiti fl-ajruport biex jiksbu bolol ġodda tal-fruntiera, minflok fil-fatt iqattgħu ħin f'kull pajjiż. Mofid ried jikser ir-rekord skont ir-regoli ta 'Nomad Mania, li kien ifisser li jistabbilixxi lilu nnifsu l-isfida żejda li mhux biss jitlaq mill-ajruport f'kull pajjiż iżda wkoll iqatta' mill-inqas ftit jiem hemmhekk. Mofid in North Korea, having completed his 195-country odyssey. Ħames snin wara, fis-6 ta' April 2025, ftit ġimgħat biss wara għeluq il-25 sena tiegħu, Mofid qasmet il-linja tal-finitura u kisbet ir-rekord fi Pyongyang, il-Korea ta' Fuq. Huwa kien wieħed mill-ewwel barranin li daħlu fil-pajjiż f'sitt snin, u kien parti minn delegazzjoni li tħalliet tidħol fil-belt biex tmexxi maratona. "Ma stajtx nemmen li kien reali," jgħid. "Kien hemm 50,000 persuna fl-istadium jifirħuna u l-adrenalina tiegħi kienet tant għolja li f'punt wieħed ħsibt li nista 'saħansitra nirbaħ it-tellieqa!" Waqt li jitkellem mid-dar tal-ġenituri tiegħu f'San Diego, Kalifornja, fejn ilu jgħix għal dawn l-aħħar erba' xhur mir-ritorn tiegħu, Mofid għandu daqna maqtugħa mill-qrib u huwa mimli enerġija u entużjażmu, minkejja li jiddeskrivi kif, matul il-ħames snin tiegħu jivvjaġġa, esperjenzaw kollox minn mard sever fl-Alġerija għal priġunerija f'Ġibuti, detenzjoni fl-Afganistan, u xhud ta 'faqar orribbli fin-Niġerja. "Mhix esaġerazzjoni li tgħid li tbiddel il-ħajja," jgħid. "L-OCD tiegħi kien ħafna aħjar għaliha u rajt it-tjubija fl-umanità, kif ukoll ix-xorti li tara lil xi wħud minna jitwieldu fil-privileġġ u oħrajn fil-faqar terribbli. Issa rrid nagħmel xi ħaġa mal-bqija ta 'ħajti li għandha skop. " ‘It’s no exaggeration to say it’s been life-changing’ … Mofid in Afghanistan. Growing up in the coastal neighbourhood of La Jolla, San Diego, Mofid was raised by Egyptian and Persian American parents who encourage him to take an interest in the wider world. "Kont nilgħab logħba fejn in-nanna tiegħi sejħet l-ismijiet tal-pajjiżi u kelli nsibhom fuq mappa tad-dinja li kellna fil-garaxx," jgħid. "Kont affaxxinat bid-dinja u sirt verament interessat li nżur postijiet bħal Lesotho u s-Somalja - mhux il-postijiet tas-soltu li tifel jista 'jispiċċa fuq vaganza." Filwaqt li l-ġenituri tiegħu kienu jeħduh kull sena lejn l-Eġittu, fejn in-nanna tiegħu eventwalment rilokat, kien fil-fatt permezz tal-imħabba tiegħu għat-tennis li Mofid beda jivvjaġġa b'mod aktar wiesa'. Jitħarreġ bħala plejer junior promettenti, huwa kiseb klassifikazzjoni internazzjonali u ta' 17-il sena mar Napli, Florida biex jingħaqad ma' akkademja tat-tennis. Kien hemm li kiser minkeb tiegħu u, wara żewġ operazzjoni, kien sfurzat jirtira mil-logħba ta' 18-il sena. Iffaċċjat mingħajr futur fl-isport, Mofid iddeċieda li jqatta 'sena gap jikteb dwar tournaments għar-rivista Florida Tennis. "Qattajt dik is-sena tkopri tournaments professjonali fi bliet bħal Hong Kong, Marrakech, Milan, Londra u Singapor, u kienet l-ewwel darba li ħassejt xi ħaġa li tinbidel fija," jgħid. "L-ivvjaġġar tani tip ta 'ħarba mill-OCD tiegħi. I was breaking away from stressful situations in my mind and exploring new environments that my OCD had not seeped in. Ma ħassejtx maqbud bl-istess mod. " Ladarba rritorna u rreġistra fl-Università ta 'Miami fl-2019, Mofid kompla jivvjaġġa, bħala ħarba mis-sintomi tal-OCD tiegħu u l-konfini tal-kamra tad-dormitorju tiegħu. Huwa beda jaħdem iljieli bħala promotur tal-klabb f'Miami, ibiegħ biljetti tad-dħul u pakketti lil dawk li jmorru l-festi, biex jiffinanzja vjaġġi fi tmiem il-ġimgħa lejn il-Gwatemala, il-Beliże, El Salvador u n-Nikaragwa. Sa meta d-dinja waqfet matul il-Covid, huwa jistma li kien diġà kien f'50 pajjiż. Xorta waħda, jekk kellu jegħleb ir-rekord li żar kull nazzjon fid-dinja, kien hemm ippjanar li jsir u l-flus li jsiru - sabiex jilħqu l-145 post l-ieħor. Huwa ħa krediti żejda fil-kulleġġ sabiex ikun jista 'jiggradwa qabel, filwaqt li espanda l-promozzjoni tal-klabb freelance tiegħu f'negozju tal-ħajja ta' billejl, u organizza avvenimenti madwar il-belt. "Jien kont fil-kulleġġ matul il-ġurnata u mbagħad naħdem iljieli, ħafna drabi sal-4am, niskannja l-biljetti u nittratta ma' żgħażagħ fis-sakra ta' 21 sena," jgħid. "F'Marzu, matul il-waqfa tar-rebbiegħa, kellna 30 avveniment wara xulxin. Kont eżawrit imma kien worth it biex tiffinanzja l-vjaġġ tiegħi. " Mofid in Sudan in his graduation gown, with local villagers. Sa Diċembru 2022, Mofid kien temm l-istudji tiegħu - inkluż MBA mnaqqas minn sentejn għal seba' xhur - u kien bena master spreadsheet ta 'pajjiżi biex iżuru, rotot ippjanati u spejjeż tal-linji tal-ajru. "Il-ġenituri tiegħi kienu inkwetati dwar li mmur f'postijiet bħall-Afganistan u l-Iraq, imma ħadt l-aħħar eżami tiegħi, ippakkjajt il-borża tad-duffel tiegħi u l-għada filgħodu ttajjar lejn is-Sudan," jgħid bi tbissima. "Mort fil-piramidi Nubjani antiki sitt sigħat minn Khartoum, libbes il-libsa tal-gradwazzjoni tiegħi u ltqajt lill-irħula biex jieħdu ritratti miegħi. Kont tlift il-gradwazzjoni lura d-dar imma dan kien diġà ħafna aktar memorabbli. " Planning trips by region, Mofid spent the next two years veering between running his nightlife business in Miami and heading off for a month or two to tick off as many countries as possible on his list. "Kont inżur xi ħaġa minn seba 'sa 20 pajjiż f'daqqa, u nippjana kollox bir-reqqa biex inżomm baġit verament strett. Normalment, hekk kif wasalt id-dar minn vjaġġ wieħed, kont tant eċċitat li nippjana dak li jmiss l-għada filgħodu," jgħid. "L-itwal stint li marru fuq kien tliet xhur, li kien it-tieni sal-aħħar vjaġġ tiegħi. Bdejt fl-Oman u mbagħad mort l-Iran, Dubai, l-Armenja, il-Ġeorġja, l-Ażerbajġan u r-Russja, u mbagħad xarabank u mixi lejn l-Estonja." At the barber’s in Pakistan. Meta Mofid sar jaf li l-ivvjaġġar bl-ajru kien sospiż lejn l-Afganistan waqt li kien diġà fi triqtu permezz tal-Emirati Għarab Magħquda, kellu jidħol permezz tal-fruntiera notorjament perikoluża ta 'Torkham bejn l-Afganistan u l-Pakistan. Fixer lokali ħeġġeġ lilu biex jilbes ilbies Afgan u biex jikber daqna sabiex jitħallat, iżda huwa ġie immedjatament arrestat mill-pulizija Pakistani mal-wasla, li kienu konfużi dwar għaliex ċittadin Amerikan kien qed jaħbi lilu nnifsu. "Ġejt interrogat dwar il-vjaġġi tiegħi u ppruvajt nispjega li jien kont biss turist, mhux spija, filwaqt li quddiemi raġel ieħor kien qed jiġi msawwat. Kien tal-biża'," jgħid. "B'xorti tajba, ġejt meħlus - u hekk kif qsamt fl-Afganistan, membru tat-Taliban li kellu mitralja enormi offrieli tè." F'Ġibuti, sadanittant, bejjiegħ tas-suq ċempel lill-pulizija wara li ra lilu jieħu ritratti tas-sustanza psikoattiva khat. "Kulħadd imdawwar lili u ppruvajt nitkellem mill-ħabs imma ttieħdet direttament fil-ħabs lokali," jgħid. "Kien 43C (110F), ħadu t-telefon tiegħi u kelli titjira biex naqbad dak il-lejl. Wara nofs ġurnata ta' stennija, wasal il-kap tal-pulizija nazzjonali biex jinterrogani. Ladarba raw selfies tiegħi f'diversi postijiet indunaw li jien biss turist u ħelsieni, imma qaluli biex ma nerġax lura." At a waterfall in Laos. Filwaqt li xi wħud jistgħu jaraw dawn l-esperjenzi bħala naive, Mofid huwa ħerqan li jenfasizza l-importanza ta 'dak li tgħallem fuq il-vjaġġi tiegħu. "L-ivvjaġġar għamilni ħafna aktar sintonizzat mal-istejjer tan-nies u l-kumplessitajiet ta 'dak li qed jiġri fid-dinja," jgħid. "Xejn mhu iswed u abjad, u rridu nibdew nittrattaw lill-migranti bl-umanità. In-nies, fil-qalba tagħhom, huma intrinsikament tajbin. F'pajjiż wara pajjiż, ġejt milqugħ b'ġentilezza. Fis-Surinam, raġel tani kenn u ikla fil-barrakka tiegħu waqt maltempata, u f'Bagdad, kull fejn mort, in-nies offrewli tè u ospitalità, irrispettivament mill-fatt li jien Amerikan. Nies li ma kellhom kważi xejn kienu lesti li joffruli kollox; Indunajt li iktar ma tivvjaġġa, iktar tirrealizza kemm ftit taf fil-fatt." Fin-Niġerja, il-115-il pajjiż li żar, Mofid qatta 'ħin fil-makoko slum fil-periferija ta' Lagos, li huwa parzjalment mibni fuq stilts fuq l-ilma. "Kien l-agħar faqar li qatt rajt, b'aktar minn 100,000 persuna jgħixu fuq l-ilma tad-drenaġġ," jgħid. "15% biss tat-tfal f'dik is-sezzjoni ta 'Makoko jmorru l-iskola u huma totalment maqtugħa mill-bqija tal-belt. L-iskola waħda li żorna, l-għalliema ma tħallsux fix-xhur u l-biċċa l-kbira tal-istudenti ma kellhomx provvisti. Iddeċidejt li kelli nagħmel xi ħaġa biex ngħin u għalhekk waqqaft GoFundMe. " Jiġbor ftit eluf ta 'dollari minn studenti sħabi tal-kulleġġ, Mofid kien wasal biex itemm il-kampanja f'Jannar 2023 meta donazzjoni għal $ 45,000 waslet mill-plejer tal-NBA Kyrie Irving. "B'dak l-ammont ta 'flus, ħassejt li kelli r-responsabbiltà li nkun kustodju," jgħid. "Kont ġejt id-dar bejn il-vjaġġi tiegħi u nara lin-nies iwaqqgħu $ 50,000 f'lejl barra f'Miami; dan huwa biżżejjed biex tiffinanzja skola sħiħa f'Makoko. Mhuwiex kif id-dinja għandha taħdem. Ħallejt in-negozju u x-xahar ta 'wara waqqaft il-karità Humanity Effect bħala mod biex nappoġġja dik il-komunità. " The Humanity Effect school in Nigeria in Makoko Sentejn u nofs wara, Mofid temm il-kostruzzjoni tat-tieni skola, bena orfanatrofju għal 40 student u mexxa missjoni medika f'Makoko. Il-karità issa hija l-fokus ewlieni tiegħu. "Disgħin fil-mija taċ-ċirkostanzi attwali tagħna fil-ħajja hija bbażata fuq it-twelid tagħna, hija l-akbar xorti li għandna," jgħid. "Dawn it-tfal kellhom xorti ħażina u li ngħinhom hija l-ħaġa f'ħajti li jien l-aktar kburi biha." Mofid jiddeskrivi wkoll l-OCD tiegħu bħala "l-aħjar li qatt kien" minn meta beda juża l-vjaġġi tiegħu bħala terapija ta 'espożizzjoni għal triggers bħal ħmieġ jew sitwazzjonijiet soċjali mhux familjari. "Permezz ta 'waqfien f'postijiet li kienu mimlijin dud jew brimb jew ma kellhomx ilma ġieri, sibt l-għodda biex nimmaniġġjah u nassigura lili nnifsi li kont OK," jgħid. "L-ivvjaġġar jista 'jkun iżolat ħafna u għallimni nkun kuntent fil-kumpanija tiegħi stess. Issa, nista 'nara l-OCD bħala s-superpotenza tiegħi, peress li tagħtini kurżità bla waqfien - xi ħaġa li ħadmet din il-missjoni biex inżur kull pajjiż. Qed nitgħallem naċċettaha u ngħix magħha. " Mofid kiseb ir-rekord tiegħu, iżda jista 'jkun diġà twaqqa'. Skond Nomad Mania, żagħżugħ ta '23 sena reċentement temm l-isfida madwar id-dinja. Iżda Mofid jemmen li l-esperjenza nnifisha kienet jiswa l-isforz. "L-ivvjaġġar jgħallmek il-valur tal-kurżità u l-empatija, u hemm ħafna postijiet li nixtieq immur lura u nesplora b'mod aktar maħsub," jgħid. "Fuq nett tal-lista huwa l-Ġappun u mbagħad probabbilment l-Iraq. L-ewwelnett, għalkemm, qatt ma kont New York, allura għad hemm ħafna x'tara d-dar, u ħafna ħin issa biex nasal hemm. "

Niġbor il-basktijiet tiegħi, inħares madwari u għalkemm waqt li kont hawn għamlet ix-xita l-ġurnata kollha, issa sejra. Nixtieq li nista' nibqa'. SUSAN DAVIS Għaliex taħseb li l-kittieba tixtieq li setgħet tibqa' fl-aħħar? Kemm taħseb li huwa importanti t-temp għal btala? Nibqgħu d-Dar Kultant in-nies jiftaħru dwar il-postijiet eċċitanti li sejrin fihom għall-btala, u dan jista' jagħmel nies oħra li mhux sejrin għira jew skuntenti. X'inhuma s-sentimenti ta' Jane f'din il-poeżija? 140 L-Aħħar Jum tat-Terminu tas-Sajf Noqogħdu bilqiegħda fil-klassi Niskambjaw pjanijiet għall-vaganzi: Il-ħafna uċuħ familjari - ta' Kate, Maud u Anne! Kate qed tqatta' xahar f'Brighton; Joan sejra Pariġi; Maud sejra għand zija fl-Iskozja, u Anne fin-Norfolk Broads Nisma', għajjura u siekta, Jew nagħmel ix-xogħol tal-ġurnata: Innaddaf; inpoġġi l-kotba; jew naqra b'nofs qalb.

Imma fl-aħħar spiċċa kollox, spiċċa kollox; U nimxi lura d-dar ma' Sue. U noqgħod ħdejn il-bieb tagħha, waqt li titkellem dwar x'se jagħmlu: Krew karavan għall-vaganzi 'l isfel fil-Gżira ta' Wight: "Se nitilqu bil-karozza llejla - Se nivvjaġġaw il-lejl kollu.... "Ah, sew! Addiju sa Settembru! Immur id-dar waħdi; Insib iċ-ċavetta tiegħi, u nidħol fid-dar tal-vaganzi tiegħi. Id-dar hija qrib u kwieta; Ftit ward niexef ixerrdu l-petali tagħhom wieħed wieħed fuq it-tieqa sħuna. Vit iqattar fil-kċina; Żewġ dubbien iżejnu fuq il-ħġieġa; Hemm nota fuq il-mejda tal-kolazzjon: Żewġ linji mingħand Ommi.

L-Imsieħba tal-Kandidati tal-PN Jaqsmu l-Esperjenzi Personali tal-Kampanja Aġġornat fl-4 ta’ Awwissu 2025 L-Imsieħba tal-Kandidati tal-PN Jaqsmu l-Esperjenzi Personali tal-Kampanja Gist: In-nies qed jistaqsu x’inhu jiġri wara l-kwinti fil-politika, u issa, Cynthia Galea u Sarah Bajada, l-imsieħba ta’ Adrian Delia u Alex Borg, rispettivament, se jitkellmu dwar il-pressjoni u l-isfidi li jiffaċċjaw matul il-kampanja għat-tmexxija tal-Partit Nazzjonalista. Din l-intervista ġdida fuq il-podcast “Times Talk” se tagħti ħarsa lejn in-naħa umana tal-ħajja politika, fejn is-sieħeb jew sieħba jkollhom jgħixu l-ħajja privata tagħhom waqt li jappoġġjaw lil min qiegħed fil-politika.

X’inhu jiġri wara l-bibien magħluqa? Il-ħajja politika tista’ tidher sempliċi minn barra, bil-kandidati jidhru fuq il-palk u fit-televiżjoni. Imma, fil-verità, wara kull politiku hemm familja, ħbieb, u s-sieħeb jew sieħba tiegħu, li jgħixu l-isfidi kollha. Cynthia Galea u Sarah Bajada, li huma fl-attenzjoni pubblika minħabba l-imsieħba tagħhom Adrian Delia u Alex Borg, li t-tnejn qed jikkompetu għall-kariga ta’ Kap tal-Partit Nazzjonalista (PN), se jipprovdu ħarsa rari lejn din il-ħajja. L-intervista mistennija titfa’ dawl fuq kif jinnavigaw il-kumplessità tal-politika filwaqt li jżommu ħajjithom personali u professjonali. Kuntest Fl-aħħar ġimgħat, il-kompetizzjoni għat-tmexxija tal-PN saret suġġett jaħraq. Wara li l-eks Kap Bernard Grech irriżenja f’Ġunju 2025, Adrian Delia, li kien Kap qabel, u Alex Borg, Deputat ġdid, it-tnejn tefgħu l-ismijiet tagħhom għat-tellieqa.1 Din it-tellieqa hija importanti ħafna għall-PN biex jiddeċiedi min se jmexxih lejn l-elezzjoni ġenerali li jmiss. Ir-relazzjoni bejn Delia u Borg kienet suġġett ta’ spekulazzjoni minħabba li Delia kien jappoġġja lil Borg fil-bidu. Issa, bl-imsieħba tagħhom jitkellmu, it-tema qed titneħħa mill-politika u ssir aktar personali. Impatt fuq Malta Meta l-imsieħba tal-politiċi jitkellmu, l-impatt fuq Malta jista’ jkun sinifikanti. Minflok ma jaraw biss ir-retorika politika, in-nies ikunu jistgħu jifhmu aħjar il-pressjonijiet veri li jiffaċċjaw dawk fil-politika u l-familji tagħhom. Dan jista’ jgħin biex jinbena rabta aktar b'saħħitha bejn il-politiċi u n-nies, għaliex jurihom li l-politiċi huma nies ordinarji bħalna, li jiffaċċjaw sfidi, stress, u emozzjonijiet. Li nifhmu l-esperjenza tal-imsieħba jista’ jagħmilna iktar empatiċi lejn dawk li jgħixu fil-politika, u jwassal biex ikollna dibattitu aktar ċivilizzat. Jista' juri wkoll il-bżonn li jkun hemm bilanċ bejn il-ħajja personali u dik professjonali, anke fil-politika. * Sors 1: Rapport tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea dwar ir-rwol tan-nisa fil-politika. Dan ir-rapport juri l-isfidi li jiffaċċjaw in-nisa u l-familji fil-ħajja politika madwar l-Ewropa. * Sors 2: [suspicious link removed]. Dan l-istudju jispjega l-effett tal-attenzjoni pubblika fuq il-ħajja privata tal-politiċi. X'Tista' Tagħmel Int Kif tista’ tieħu sehem f'din id-diskussjoni? Li tieħu sehem mhuwiex diffiċli. L-ewwel, nistednuk tisma’ l-podcast meta jinħareġ. Tkun tista’ tifforma l-opinjoni tiegħek stess minn dak li tisma’, mingħajr ma tħalli lil ħaddieħor jgħidlek x’għandek taħseb. It-tieni, ikkunsidra li tistaqsi mistoqsijiet meta tipparteċipa f'diskussjonijiet fuq il-midja soċjali jew mal-ħbieb, bħal: “X’impatt taħseb li l-ħajja privata tal-politiċi tista’ jkollha fuq id-deċiżjonijiet li jieħdu?” Dan jgħin biex id-diskussjoni tibqa’ rispettuża u aktar produttiva. * Ħares lejn kif ħaddieħor qed jirrispondi għal din l-intervista u ara jekk il-kummenti humiex rispettużi jew le. Verifika tal-Fatti * Fatt Verifikat: Adrian Delia u Alex Borg huma l-uniċi żewġ kandidati għat-tmexxija tal-Partit Nazzjonalista f’din it-tellieqa partikolari. Il-proċess ta' verifika jinkludi t-tiftix ta' rapporti minn sorsi tal-aħbarijiet ewlenin lokali li jikkonfermaw ir-reġistrazzjoni tal-kandidati. * Opinjoni: Li nisimgħu l-esperjenzi tal-imsieħba tagħhom se jgħin lill-PN biex jerġa’ jikkonnettja man-nies ordinarji. Din hija opinjoni għax hija twemmin dwar dak li se jkun l-effett tal-podcast, u mhux dikjarazzjoni li tista’ tiġi ppruvata jew imkejjla. * Dikjarazzjoni Mhux Fatti: Il-pressjoni fuq il-familji tal-politiċi hija aktar intensa f'Malta milli f'pajjiżi oħra. Din id-dikjarazzjoni hija diffiċli biex tiġi ppruvata b'mod konklużiv minħabba n-nuqqas ta' data komparattiva bejn il-pajjiżi. Huwa diffiċli li tkejjel kemm-il darba u b'liema mod il-pressjoni hija aktar intensa, għalhekk ma jistax jitqies bħala fatt. Għal min irid ikun jaf aktar... Immaġina li l-politika hija bħal pjanċa taċ-ċess. Il-politiċi huma l-biċċiet ewlenin, bħar-re u r-reġina, li jiċċaqalqu b’mod strateġiku. Imma x'jiġri bil-bqija tal-biċċiet, il-pedini, it-torrijiet, l-isqfijiet, u l-familja, li jgħixu fuq l-istess pjanċa? Din l-intervista tista’ tgħinna naraw id-diskussjoni minn angolu differenti, mill-perspettiva ta’ min qiegħed ħdejn il-biċċa ewlenija, iżda li xorta jbati l-konsegwenzi ta' kull mossa. Dan jista' jgħinna nifhmu li wara d-deċiżjonijiet politiċi hemm stejjer personali. Mistoqsija għall-Futur: Din it-tip ta’ trasparenza dwar il-ħajja privata tal-politiċi tista’ tgħin biex in-nies jafdaw aktar lill-politiċi, jew tista' tagħmilhom iżjed kawti li jitkellmu dwar il-ħajja personali tagħhom?

Political life can seem straightforward from the outside, with candidates appearing on stages and television. But in reality, behind every politician is a family, friends, and their partner, who live through all the challenges. Cynthia Galea and Sarah Bajada, who are in the public eye due to their partners Adrian Delia and Alex Borg, both competing for the post of Nationalist Party (PN) Leader, will provide a rare glimpse into this life. The interview is expected to shed light on how they navigate the complexities of politics while maintaining their personal and professional lives. Context In recent weeks, the competition for the PN leadership has become a hot topic. After former Leader Bernard Grech resigned in June 2025, Adrian Delia, a former Leader, and Alex Borg, a new Deputy, both submitted their names for the race.2 This race is crucial for the PN to decide who will lead them to the next general election. The relationship between Delia and Borg has been a subject of speculation since Delia initially supported Borg. Now, with their partners speaking out, the topic is being shifted from political to personal. Impact on Malta When the partners of politicians speak, the impact on Malta can be significant. Instead of seeing only political rhetoric, people can better understand the real pressures faced by those in politics and their families. This can help build a stronger connection between politicians and the public, by showing them that politicians are ordinary people just like us, who face challenges, stress, and emotions. Understanding the partners' experience can make us more empathetic towards those living in politics, leading to a more civilized debate. It can also highlight the need for a work-life balance, even in politics. * Source 1: European Commission report on the role of women in politics. This report highlights the challenges faced by women and families in political life across Europe. * Source 2: [suspicious link removed]. This study explains the effect of public attention on the private lives of politicians. What You Can Do How can you participate in this discussion? Taking part is not difficult. First, we invite you to listen to the podcast when it is released. You can form your own opinion from what you hear, without letting others tell you what to think. Second, consider asking questions when you participate in social media discussions or with friends, such as: "What impact do you think politicians' private lives can have on the decisions they make?" This helps keep the discussion respectful and more productive. * Look at how others are responding to this interview and see if the comments are respectful or not. Fact Check * Verified Fact: Adrian Delia and Alex Borg are the only two candidates for the leadership of the Nationalist Party in this particular race. The verification process includes searching for reports from major local news sources that confirm the registration of the candidates. * Opinion: Listening to the experiences of their partners will help the PN reconnect with ordinary people. This is an opinion because it is a belief about what the effect of the podcast will be, and not a statement that can be proven or measured. * Unfactual Statement: The pressure on politicians' families is more intense in Malta than in other countries. This statement is difficult to prove conclusively due to the lack of comparative data between countries. It is hard to measure how often and in what way the pressure is more intense, so it cannot be considered a fact. For those who want to know more... Imagine that politics is like a chessboard. The politicians are the main pieces, like the king and queen, who move strategically. But what happens to the other pieces, the pawns, rooks, bishops, and the family, who live on the same board? This interview can help us see the discussion from a different angle, from the perspective of those who are next to the main piece, but still suffer the consequences of every move. This can help us understand that behind the political decisions there are personal stories. Question for the Future: Can this type of transparency about politicians' private lives help people trust politicians more, or could it make them more cautious about talking about their personal lives?

Kif L-Imħabba Tibdel Kollox: In-Nisa ta’ Alex Borg u Adrian Delia Jiftħu Qalbhom 4 ta’ Awwissu 2025 Kif L-Imħabba Tibdel Kollox: In-Nisa ta’ Alex Borg u Adrian Delia Jiftħu Qalbhom Gist: F’intervista reċenti, Sarah Bajada u Cynthia Galea, is-sħab tal-politiċi Alex Borg u Adrian Delia, qasmu l-esperjenzi personali tagħhom dwar kif il-karrieri politiċi tal-irġiel tagħhom bidlu ħajjithom.1 Għal ħafna minna, naraw il-politiċi biss fuq l-iskrin, iżda dawn in-nisa wrew in-naħa umana u l-isfidi li jiffaċċjaw dawk li jkunu qrib persuni fil-pubbliku. Spjegaw li r-relazzjonijiet tagħhom issa jinvolvu sagrifiċċji, inqas ħin flimkien, u l-ħtieġa li jappoġġjaw lil xulxin f’din il-ħajja impenjattiva, b’mod speċjali minħabba l-kwistjoni globali tal-politika u l-impatt tagħha fuq il-ħajja ta’ kuljum.

Il-Qalb Taħt il-Politika Bosta drabi naraw lill-politiċi f’dibattiti jaħarqu jew f’laqgħat tal-massa, iżda rari naħsbu fuq il-ħajja personali tagħhom. F’intervista ma’ ġurnalisti, Sarah Bajada u Cynthia Galea tawna daqqa t’għajn ġewwa d-dinja tagħhom. Huma spjegaw li l-ħajja ma’ politiku hi differenti ħafna minn dik ta’ persuna komuni. Bajada, sieħba ta’ Alex Borg, qalet li għalkemm hi stess ma kinitx imdorrija bil-politika, irrealizzat li l-politika hija parti mid-DNA ta’ Borg u għalhekk ma setgħetx twaqqfu.2 Galea, sieħba ta’ Adrian Delia, spjegat li l-politiċi jitgħabbew b’ħafna responsabbiltà u ħafna drabi jkunu 'l bogħod mid-dar. Dawn id-diskussjonijiet juru li wara kull deċiżjoni politika, hemm familja li tagħmel sagrifiċċji kbar. Id-Diffikultà tal-Ħajja Pubblika Wieħed mill-aktar punti interessanti li tqajmu kien l-iskrutinju pubbliku. Il-politiċi, u b’estensjoni l-familji tagħhom, qegħdin dejjem taħt lenti. Bajada rreferiet għal kummenti li saru dwarha fuq l-internet, fejn in-nies jgħidu li s-sbuħija tagħha tgħin lill-karriera politika ta’ Borg.3 Hija rrispondiet billi qalet li hija indipendenti u li s-suċċess tagħha ġej mill-ħidma tagħha, u mhux mir-relazzjoni tagħha ma’ Borg. Dan juri l-pressjoni enormi li jiffaċċjaw in-nisa tal-politiċi. It-tnejn li huma enfasizzaw li jappoġġjaw lil sħabhom f’kull deċiżjoni, anke jekk dan ifisser li jridu jibdlu l-pjanijiet personali tagħhom. Kuntest Adrian Delia, li kien kap tal-Partit Nazzjonalista bejn l-2017 u l-2020, u Alex Borg, li huwa Membru Parlamentari ġdid, it-tnejn li huma reċentement ħabbru li se jikkontestaw għall-kariga ta’ kap tal-Partit Nazzjonalista.4 Din id-deċiżjoni ġiet ftit wara li l-kap preżenti Bernard Grech irriżenja mill-kariga tiegħu. Il-fatt li ż-żewġ persuni qed jikkontestaw, minkejja li kien hemm spekulazzjoni li se jappoġġjaw lil xulxin, ġibed ħafna attenzjoni. Il-kummenti li saru min-nisa tagħhom jagħtu perspettiva ġdida u personali fuq il-proċess politiku. Impatt fuq Malta Dawn l-intervisti huma importanti għal Malta għax jagħtuna ħarsa lura lejn il-bniedem wara l-politiku. Il-mod kif in-nies iħarsu lejn il-mexxejja tagħhom jista’ jinbidel meta jifhmu s-sagrifiċċji li jagħmlu l-familji tagħhom. Hija lezzjoni dwar l-umanità tal-politika, u turi li l-politiċi mhumiex biss uċuħ fuq il-billboards, iżda nies bi problemi u ħajja personali. Din l-empatija tista’ tgħin biex in-nies ikunu aktar involuti fil-politika b’mod aktar kostruttiv u jifhmu li l-pressjoni fuq il-politiċi tkun kbira, li tista’ tinfluwenza d-deċiżjonijiet tagħhom. Din it-tip ta' storja tista' tispira aktar nies, b'mod speċjali nisa, biex ikunu aktar interessati fl-affarijiet pubbliċi, hekk kif jaraw in-nisa wara l-politiċi jitkellmu b'mod miftuħ. Skont l-Aġenzija tal-Aħbarijiet, din l-istorja ġiet segwita minn ħafna nies, u dan juri interess pubbliku f’tali suġġetti. Perspettiva Kulturali F’Malta, l-irwol tal-mara f’relazzjoni kien tradizzjonalment meqjus bħala appoġġiv. Hija perspettiva li għadha teżisti għal ħafna. L-intervisti ta’ Sarah u Cynthia, fejn jitkellmu dwar l-appoġġ inekwivoku tagħhom lejn sħabhom, jidħlu f'din l-idea kulturali. Huma juru li l-appoġġ huwa importanti ħafna, iżda fl-istess ħin it-tnejn li huma saħħew l-identità tagħhom bħala nisa indipendenti li għandhom il-karrieri u l-ħolm tagħhom. Din hi bidla sottili, iżda importanti, fil-mod kif naraw il-familji tal-politiċi Maltin, u turi l-evoluzzjoni tar-relazzjonijiet fi ħdan il-ħajja pubblika. X'Tista' Tagħmel Int Jekk tħoss li l-pressjoni pubblika hija kbira wisq, jew jekk inti sieħeb/sieħba ta’ persuna fil-pubbliku, huwa importanti li tfittex appoġġ. Tista’ titkellem ma’ ħbieb u familja, jew tfittex għajnuna professjonali. Li titkellem ma’ xi ħadd jista’ jgħinek tifhem l-emozzjonijiet tiegħek u tista’ ssib modi kif timmaniġġja l-pressjoni. * Appoġġja s-sieħeb/sieħba tiegħek: Anke jekk ma taqbilx ma’ kollox, kun hemm għalihom. Smahom, urihom li tafda fihom, u appoġġjahom fi żminijiet diffiċli. * Żomm l-identità tiegħek: Iffoka fuq dak li inti u fuq l-affarijiet li jogħġbuk. Ftakar li inti persuna sħiħa u indipendenti, apparti minn min hu sieħbek. Hawnhekk hawn riżorsa biex issib informazzjoni dwar kif wieħed jista’ jimmaniġġja l-istress: https://www.mentalhealth.gov/ Verifika tal-Fatti * Sarah Bajada u Cynthia Galea huma s-sħab ta' Alex Borg u Adrian Delia rispettivament: Fatti Verifikati. Dan ġie kkonfermat kemm mill-intervista kif ukoll minn diversi rapporti tal-aħbarijiet. * Alex Borg u Adrian Delia qed jikkontestaw għal kap tal-Partit Nazzjonalista: Fatti Verifikati.5 It-tnejn ħabbru pubblikament l-intenzjoni tagħhom li jikkontestaw għal din il-kariga. * Sarah Bajada qalet li r-relazzjoni tagħha ma’ Borg ma kinitx waħda faċli minħabba l-politika, u qabel iddeċidiet li tappoġġjah, qalet "assolutament le" għat-tiġrija għat-tmexxija: Dikjarazzjonijiet Mhux Fatti. Waqt l-intervista, Bajada qalet li kien diffiċli, iżda qalet li hija dejjem appoġġjatu għax il-politika tinsab fid-DNA tiegħu. Hija użat il-frażi "I said 'absolutely not'" biex tirreferi għat-talba ta’ Adrian Delia biex jerġa’ jikkontesta. * Adrian Delia u Alex Borg kellhom ftehim biex ma jikkontestawx lil xulxin: Ambigwità u Nuqqas ta' Ċarezza.6 Kien hemm spekulazzjoni minn sorsi, iżda t-tnejn li huma ċaħdu li kien hemm xi ftehim formali, u qalu li l-proċess għandu jkun miftuħ. Għal min irid ikun jaf aktar... * Q: X'inhu l-akbar sagrifiċċju li jagħmel wieħed biex jappoġġja politiku? * A: Ħafna drabi, l-akbar sagrifiċċju huwa l-ħin. Il-politiċi huma okkupati ħafna, u l-ħin li jqattgħu mal-familja huwa limitat ħafna. Hija bħal meta sieħbek ikollu xogħol fejn jaħdem sigħat twal ħafna u spiss ikun 'il bogħod mid-dar. Il-politiċi jġibu magħhom din il-pressjoni kollha, li tagħmel il-ħajja aktar diffiċli biex wieħed iżomm bilanċ. Il-futur tal-Partit Nazzjonalista jiddependi minn min se jintgħażel bħala kap ġdid. L-intervisti min-nisa ta’ Alex Borg u Adrian Delia juruna li din l-għażla mhijiex biss fuq min se jmexxi l-partit, iżda wkoll fuq liema tip ta’ familja u appoġġ qed joffri l-mexxej.

They explained that their relationships now involve sacrifices, less time together, and the need to support each other in this demanding life, especially because of the global issue of politics and its impact on everyday life.8 We earn from qualifying purchases through this Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3Avoaxz Ready to dive deeper into the topics we are discussing?

The Heart Behind the Politics We often see politicians in heated debates or mass meetings, but we rarely think about their personal lives. In an interview with journalists, Sarah Bajada and Cynthia Galea gave us a glimpse into their world. They explained that life with a politician is very different from that of an ordinary person. Bajada, Alex Borg's partner, said that although she herself was not used to politics, she realized that politics is part of Borg's DNA and therefore she could not stop him.9 Galea, Adrian Delia's partner, explained that politicians are burdened with a lot of responsibility and are often away from home. These discussions show that behind every political decision, there is a family making great sacrifices. The Difficulty of Public Life One of the most interesting points raised was public scrutiny. Politicians, and by extension their families, are always under the microscope. Bajada referred to comments made about her on the internet, where people said that her looks help Borg's political career.10 She responded by saying that she is independent and that her success comes from her hard work, and not from her relationship with Borg. This shows the enormous pressure that politicians' wives face. Both of them emphasized that they support their partners in every decision, even if this means they have to change their personal plans. Context Adrian Delia, who was the leader of the Nationalist Party between 2017 and 2020, and Alex Borg, who is a new Member of Parliament, both recently announced that they will be contesting for the post of leader of the Nationalist Party.11 This decision came shortly after the current leader Bernard Grech resigned from his position.12 The fact that the two people are contesting, despite speculation that they would support each other, attracted a lot of attention. The comments made by their partners give a new and personal perspective on the political process. Impact on Malta These interviews are important for Malta because they give us a look back at the person behind the politician. The way people look at their leaders can change when they understand the sacrifices their families make. It is a lesson about the humanity of politics, and shows that politicians are not just faces on billboards, but people with problems and a personal life. This empathy can help people get more involved in politics in a more constructive way and understand that the pressure on politicians is great, which can influence their decisions. This type of story can inspire more people, especially women, to be more interested in public affairs, as they see the women behind the politicians speaking openly. According to the News Agency, this story was followed by many people, which shows public interest in such topics. Cultural Perspective In Malta, the role of the woman in a relationship was traditionally seen as supportive. It is a perspective that still exists for many. Sarah and Cynthia's interviews, where they talk about their unequivocal support for their partners, fit into this cultural idea. They show that support is very important, but at the same time they both strengthened their identity as independent women who have their own careers and dreams. This is a subtle, but important, change in the way we see the families of Maltese politicians, and shows the evolution of relationships within public life. What You Can Do If you feel that public pressure is too much, or if you are a partner of a public person, it is important to seek support. You can talk to friends and family, or seek professional help. Talking to someone can help you understand your emotions and find ways to manage the pressure. * Support your partner: Even if you don't agree with everything, be there for them. Listen to them, show them that you trust them, and support them in difficult times. * Maintain your identity: Focus on who you are and the things you like. Remember that you are a complete and independent person, separate from who your partner is. Here is a resource to find information on how to manage stress: https://www.mentalhealth.gov/ Fact Verification * Sarah Bajada and Cynthia Galea are the partners of Alex Borg and Adrian Delia respectively:13 Verified Facts. This has been confirmed both by the interview and by various news reports. * Alex Borg and Adrian Delia are contesting for the leadership of the Nationalist Party:14 Verified Facts. Both have publicly announced their intention to contest for this position. * Sarah Bajada said that her relationship with Borg was not an easy one because of politics, and before she decided to support him, she said "absolutely not" to the leadership race:15 Unverified Statements. During the interview, Bajada said that it was difficult, but she said that she always supported him because politics is in his DNA. She used the phrase "I said 'absolutely not'" to refer to Adrian Delia's request to contest again. * Adrian Delia and Alex Borg had an agreement not to contest each other: Ambiguity and Lack of Clarity.16 There was speculation from sources, but both of them denied that there was any formal agreement, and said that the process should be open. For those who want to know more... * Q: What is the biggest sacrifice one makes to support a politician? * A: Often, the biggest sacrifice is time. Politicians are very busy, and the time they spend with their family is very limited. It's like when your partner has a job where they work very long hours and are often away from home. Politicians bring with them all this pressure, which makes life more difficult for one to maintain a balance. The future of the Nationalist Party depends on who will be chosen as the new leader. The interviews from the partners of Alex Borg and Adrian Delia show us that this choice is not just about who will lead the party, but also about what kind of family and support the leader is offering. Which of these two men do the Maltese people think is more appreciated, experience or the new generation?

L-intervista mistennija titfa’ dawl fuq kif jinnavigaw il-kumplessità tal-politika filwaqt li jżommu ħajjithom personali u professjonali. Kuntest Fl-aħħar ġimgħat, il-kompetizzjoni għat-tmexxija tal-PN saret suġġett jaħraq. Wara li l-eks Kap Bernard Grech irriżenja f’Ġunju 2025, Adrian Delia, li kien Kap qabel, u Alex Borg, Deputat ġdid, it-tnejn tefgħu l-ismijiet tagħhom għat-tellieqa.1 Din it-tellieqa hija importanti ħafna għall-PN biex jiddeċiedi min se jmexxih lejn l-elezzjoni ġenerali li jmiss. Ir-relazzjoni bejn Delia u Borg kienet suġġett ta’ spekulazzjoni minħabba li Delia kien jappoġġja lil Borg fil-bidu. Issa, bl-imsieħba tagħhom jitkellmu, it-tema qed titneħħa mill-politika u ssir aktar personali. Impatt fuq Malta Meta l-imsieħba tal-politiċi jitkellmu, l-impatt fuq Malta jista’ jkun sinifikanti. Minflok ma jaraw biss ir-retorika politika, in-nies ikunu jistgħu jifhmu aħjar il-pressjonijiet veri li jiffaċċjaw dawk fil-politika u l-familji tagħhom. Dan jista’ jgħin biex jinbena rabta aktar b'saħħitha bejn il-politiċi u n-nies, għaliex jurihom li l-politiċi huma nies ordinarji bħalna, li jiffaċċjaw sfidi, stress, u emozzjonijiet. Li nifhmu l-esperjenza tal-imsieħba jista’ jagħmilna iktar empatiċi lejn dawk li jgħixu fil-politika, u jwassal biex ikollna dibattitu aktar ċivilizzat. Jista' juri wkoll il-bżonn li jkun hemm bilanċ bejn il-ħajja personali u dik professjonali, anke fil-politika. * Sors 1: Rapport tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea dwar ir-rwol tan-nisa fil-politika. Dan ir-rapport juri l-isfidi li jiffaċċjaw in-nisa u l-familji fil-ħajja politika madwar l-Ewropa. * Sors 2: [suspicious link removed]. Dan l-istudju jispjega l-effett tal-attenzjoni pubblika fuq il-ħajja privata tal-politiċi. X'Tista' Tagħmel Int Kif tista’ tieħu sehem f'din id-diskussjoni? Li tieħu sehem mhuwiex diffiċli. L-ewwel, nistednuk tisma’ l-podcast meta jinħareġ. Tkun tista’ tifforma l-opinjoni tiegħek stess minn dak li tisma’, mingħajr ma tħalli lil ħaddieħor jgħidlek x’għandek taħseb. It-tieni, ikkunsidra li tistaqsi mistoqsijiet meta tipparteċipa f'diskussjonijiet fuq il-midja soċjali jew mal-ħbieb, bħal: “X’impatt taħseb li l-ħajja privata tal-politiċi tista’ jkollha fuq id-deċiżjonijiet li jieħdu?” Dan jgħin biex id-diskussjoni tibqa’ rispettuża u aktar produttiva. * Ħares lejn kif ħaddieħor qed jirrispondi għal din l-intervista u ara jekk il-kummenti humiex rispettużi jew le. Verifika tal-Fatti * Fatt Verifikat: Adrian Delia u Alex Borg huma l-uniċi żewġ kandidati għat-tmexxija tal-Partit Nazzjonalista f’din it-tellieqa partikolari. Il-proċess ta' verifika jinkludi t-tiftix ta' rapporti minn sorsi tal-aħbarijiet ewlenin lokali li jikkonfermaw ir-reġistrazzjoni tal-kandidati. * Opinjoni: Li nisimgħu l-esperjenzi tal-imsieħba tagħhom se jgħin lill-PN biex jerġa’ jikkonnettja man-nies ordinarji. Din hija opinjoni għax hija twemmin dwar dak li se jkun l-effett tal-podcast, u mhux dikjarazzjoni li tista’ tiġi ppruvata jew imkejjla. * Dikjarazzjoni Mhux Fatti: Il-pressjoni fuq il-familji tal-politiċi hija aktar intensa f'Malta milli f'pajjiżi oħra. Din id-dikjarazzjoni hija diffiċli biex tiġi ppruvata b'mod konklużiv minħabba n-nuqqas ta' data komparattiva bejn il-pajjiżi. Huwa diffiċli li tkejjel kemm-il darba u b'liema mod il-pressjoni hija aktar intensa, għalhekk ma jistax jitqies bħala fatt. Għal min irid ikun jaf aktar... Immaġina li l-politika hija bħal pjanċa taċ-ċess. Il-politiċi huma l-biċċiet ewlenin, bħar-re u r-reġina, li jiċċaqalqu b’mod strateġiku. Imma x'jiġri bil-bqija tal-biċċiet, il-pedini, it-torrijiet, l-isqfijiet, u l-familja, li jgħixu fuq l-istess pjanċa? Din l-intervista tista’ tgħinna naraw id-diskussjoni minn angolu differenti, mill-perspettiva ta’ min qiegħed ħdejn il-biċċa ewlenija, iżda li xorta jbati l-konsegwenzi ta' kull mossa. Dan jista' jgħinna nifhmu li wara d-deċiżjonijiet politiċi hemm stejjer personali. Mistoqsija għall-Futur: Din it-tip ta’ trasparenza dwar il-ħajja privata tal-politiċi tista’ tgħin biex in-nies jafdaw aktar lill-politiċi, jew tista' tagħmilhom iżjed kawti li jitkellmu dwar il-ħajja personali tagħhom?

Political life can seem straightforward from the outside, with candidates appearing on stages and television. But in reality, behind every politician is a family, friends, and their partner, who live through all the challenges. Cynthia Galea and Sarah Bajada, who are in the public eye due to their partners Adrian Delia and Alex Borg, both competing for the post of Nationalist Party (PN) Leader, will provide a rare glimpse into this life. The interview is expected to shed light on how they navigate the complexities of politics while maintaining their personal and professional lives. Context In recent weeks, the competition for the PN leadership has become a hot topic. After former Leader Bernard Grech resigned in June 2025, Adrian Delia, a former Leader, and Alex Borg, a new Deputy, both submitted their names for the race.2 This race is crucial for the PN to decide who will lead them to the next general election. The relationship between Delia and Borg has been a subject of speculation since Delia initially supported Borg. Now, with their partners speaking out, the topic is being shifted from political to personal. Impact on Malta When the partners of politicians speak, the impact on Malta can be significant. Instead of seeing only political rhetoric, people can better understand the real pressures faced by those in politics and their families. This can help build a stronger connection between politicians and the public, by showing them that politicians are ordinary people just like us, who face challenges, stress, and emotions. Understanding the partners' experience can make us more empathetic towards those living in politics, leading to a more civilized debate. It can also highlight the need for a work-life balance, even in politics. * Source 1: European Commission report on the role of women in politics.

This study explains the effect of public attention on the private lives of politicians. What You Can Do How can you participate in this discussion? Taking part is not difficult. First, we invite you to listen to the podcast when it is released. You can form your own opinion from what you hear, without letting others tell you what to think. Second, consider asking questions when you participate in social media discussions or with friends, such as: "What impact do you think politicians' private lives can have on the decisions they make?" This helps keep the discussion respectful and more productive. * Look at how others are responding to this interview and see if the comments are respectful or not. Fact Check * Verified Fact: Adrian Delia and Alex Borg are the only two candidates for the leadership of the Nationalist Party in this particular race. The verification process includes searching for reports from major local news sources that confirm the registration of the candidates. * Opinion: Listening to the experiences of their partners will help the PN reconnect with ordinary people. This is an opinion because it is a belief about what the effect of the podcast will be, and not a statement that can be proven or measured. * Unfactual Statement: The pressure on politicians' families is more intense in Malta than in other countries. This statement is difficult to prove conclusively due to the lack of comparative data between countries. It is hard to measure how often and in what way the pressure is more intense, so it cannot be considered a fact. For those who want to know more... Imagine that politics is like a chessboard. The politicians are the main pieces, like the king and queen, who move strategically. But what happens to the other pieces, the pawns, rooks, bishops, and the family, who live on the same board? This interview can help us see the discussion from a different angle, from the perspective of those who are next to the main piece, but still suffer the consequences of every move. This can help us understand that behind the political decisions there are personal stories. Question for the Future: Can this type of transparency about politicians' private lives help people trust politicians more, or could it make them more cautious about talking about their personal lives?
