VALLETTA, Malta, March 07, SPA -- Malta holds parliamentary electionsthis weekend after a hard-fought campaign rife withaccusations of corruption and dominated by one issue:whether this tiny island wants change after two decades ofnearly uninterrupted rule by the same party, reported The Associated Press. Saturday's vote is the first since Malta joined theEuropean Union in 2004 and the euro zone earlier this year. In keeping with the tradition of a nation where all isquiet except politics, this campaign has been a fiercebattle featuring corruption charges, libel suits and even alast-minute arrest warrant for a party leader. --SPA www.spa.gov.sa/534160
