Malta: an overpopulated and unwelcoming island | ARTE.tv Documentary 

In their countries the wages are lower than imaginable or, they don't even have work at all. It's a really complicated situation.

@ntombicumalo Yeah I know, I lived in Malta for more than a year and thank God I left. There are all sorts of jobs there, but they pay very little, food and housing are expensive for everyone and for the Maltese themselves!! A country for tourism and that’s it!!

@@TD-wk2dz you are right. I was there but only as a tourist and enjoyed myself. But, as I wrote previously, the metropolises are the most overpopulated ones than the countryside. This is all by design to control us. There must be something hidden behind the mass migration.

That's how we roll 😎

Only the Maltese didn't need English subtitles lmao 🇲🇹

The reporter is actually from Italy (South Tyrol)

the maltese dont want to do certain jobs. if they shut the borders they need to pick up the slack and do undesirable jobs.

Nonsense it has been overpopulated for donkeys years, it's such a tiny island.

It is a miserable state of affairs. Consider the size of the island - Late at night with empty roads you go from the furthest point north west to the furthest south east in less than 30 minutes. In peak traffic it would take an hour or more. And we get peak traffic multiple times a day.

800k in reality and maybe 900k on a serious count. The lies are big.

@@stevefarrugia-dc7qt That's insane, I mean what? If I was the government i'd be tackling that instantaneously, give people a valid option of getting rid of their cars & encourage the behaviour via making it free to decompose them etc. Build public infrastructure, on such a small island all you really need are trams, busses & cycle lanes. There's a few main things the Maltese government needs to do, 1) tackle the trash problem, 2) tackle overpopulation, 3) tackle poor infrastructure & mismanagement of space and 4) diversify their economy.

The usual mistakes of opinion .Economy is ultra diverse.Trash problem is in one dense area,over rated.All infrastucture is new and two challenges are being fixed.Overpopulated,yes but will not stop.@@Anonymoose66G

knock out. That is a valid accusationYou are all part of a network of organized crime.Big like.

Are you on cocaine malta should not welcome anyone no tourist nothing. Malta is for Maltese only

Cannot really compare a city with an island nation. In NYC not everything has to be in Manhattan, whereas an island nation has no choice but to have all functions of a nation from airport to administration to business to housing to water treatment and garbage recycling.

@@yo2trader539 NYC has all those things and more within the city limits.

It's not an infrastructure problem either, we definitely have the capability to build flats to keep up with demand, and this was only the first time our electrical supply broke down BECAUSE of high demand. The main problems are corruption, overpopulation and bad governments Our population is decreasing and the only thing they did was import migrants to fill up empty job roles, overpopulating the islands causing more traffic and air pollution along with a demand of eyesore flats that replace traditional maltese buildings and the environment, meanwhile more cars need more parking taking up even more space, but we can't destroy the environment too much or our endemic species will become endangered the same way NYC lost its oyster reef, now we could fix all of this but we have a corrupt government with no alternative government to save us so there is no solution until the rich crooks are put behind bars and the people retake their voice.

@@JackMicTube I'm not criticizing or being condescending in any way; I'm curious about what would you do if you were in charge

This is a cultural problem first and foremost, regredless of what journalist try to picture ... People come to Malta expecting to continue their cultural habits - some of which are not compatible with the Maltese way of living - and expect the Maltese to be totally fine with this

Because employers know they will work for less than native Maltese, obviously...Why are you praising exploitation and wage suppression?

@@AscendingGoogle123 But where did i praise exploitation? I am just sharing my experience.

@@AliClay It sounds like you're implying that wage exploitation of foreigners in Malta is a good thing. It quite obviously isn't, especially since it suppresses wage growth for native Maltese people.

Depends which area, and your safety level (as everywhere else) depends on what gender you appear as.

I bet you haven't visited Malta in the last years?

That was once the case but sadly not anymore. Sadly diversity and third worlders have infiltrated Malta bringing in all their crap with them.

make a start

malta is very similar to Monaco and Andorra in that respect just another tax haven and playground for the very rich.

No thanks! Go somewhere else. Language might be similar, but culture and religion is completely different. Go somewhere else. No room here anyway. In fact all the island's inhabitants should be relocated to the continent and Malta revert back to a nature preserve free of humans.

Practically all those who bought passport do not even reside here. The income generated by the passport scheme helped Malta enormously during the pandemic.

Considering it's an island, rather than a city, there's very little places which aren't chaotically overpacked.

That’s quite a lot, it’s literally 4 times the population density of India and South Korea who are already packed.

Are you this ignorant? 1700 per sq km is A LOT which is a population density of about 5x more than the UK

This ignores the fact that a very small number of people create most of the pollution. Overpopulation is a myth, we were belching out coal since the dawn of the Industrial age. Large groups can live sustainably , if they CHOOSE to, but it’s a select few who cause most of the damage.

I would not agree a lot with you. I will give you an example. South Africa had a population of 59,39 million by 2021, it is 3 times bigger than Germany which has now a population over 82 million. There is no overpopulation as such, only that people are collected together in the cities. There is so much empty land outside but, who wants to live in the countryside where there are no infrastructures. We people have learned to beg our governments, we cannot even bake the bread ourselves, cut the hair or wash the clothes. And this is what our rulers want. We must use our brains, be analytical, question everything and, stop believing everything the mainstream media says. This is only my opinion. I don't want to make anyone angry.
