Germany's top news magazine and probably Europe's number 1, Der Spiegel published an in depth feature on the state of play in Malta. It is available in English here. This is a short quote: "It's not particularly easy to speak with the Maltese about politics. The political camps in the country, which spent 150 years [...]
From my article in The Sunday Times today: "Daphne was swept away challenging our partisan dogmas. She was killed because our institutions failed in their mission of standing on the side of law rather than raw power.

The government has not yet denied Melvin Theuma was ever on their records as a government employee. Quite what Mario Cutajar is waiting for to deny this is beyond me. If he [...]
Sent in by someone known to me. Practice what you preach, will you? As parents, we preach endlessly to our children how to handle a bully. Tell someone, get help, stand up for yourself. We try to show kindness, to respect, to help others, to value life, to follow basic rules of conduct and behaviour. [...]
Christian Peregin, who is churning out one top notch commentary after another, wrote at one point that it would be a mistake for the Labour party to try to project the ongoing crisis as a tribal issue between Laburisti and Nazzjonalisti. When Michael Farrugia said protesters amounted to "PN", NGO Aditus was furious. They have [...]
After being distracted for a week or so it appears Neville Gafa' has been delivering from Keith Schembri's house the hymn sheet for Labour ministers and parliamentarians to sing from. One MP after the other is standing up to accuse protesters of "wanting bloodshed". Quite how they know what protesters "want" if protesters haven't actually [...]
