Скачать или смотреть Pete Buttigieg: 'I remember buying The Times and a ħobża for dad'

When Pete Buttigieg thinks of Malta, his memories begin not in the halls of power where he later made his name, but in the corner stores of his father’s hometown.

As a boy visiting family in Malta, the future US presidential candidate would clutch a few coins, buy a loaf of bread, and pick up a copy of the Times of Malta for his father. Decades later, and thousands of miles from Ħamrun, Buttigieg says that same newspaper remains his “window” into the country.

The former US Transport Secretary under Joe Biden, and a potential Democratic frontrunner in the next US election, Buttigieg shared his connection to Malta and highlighted the crucial role of journalism in a video message he sent to Times of Malta on its 90th anniversary.
