Malta says "yes" to the divorce. The referendum for the legalization is passed by a clear majority of 54% of the vote. The island had been the last European country that has not yet recognized this institution. The Maltese voted in net despite an intensive campaign by the Church, who last night before the polls closed, he issued a note of apology to the voters for a few messages that were deemed "not to insult or clear" by of some members of the clergy.
