Illum saret laqg\u0127a ta’ konsultazzjoni msej\u0127a mill-Kumitat ta’ Esperti li kien \u0127atar il-gvern madwar 13 il-xahar ilu biex jag\u0127mel ir-rakkomandazzjonijiet tieg\u0127u dwar il-mod kif g\u0127andhom jitwettqu r-rakkomandazzjonjiiet tal-Im\u0127allfin tal-inkjesta dwar l-assassinju ta’ Daphne Caruana Galizia u dan bil-g\u0127an li ti\u0121i m\u0127arsa l-libert\u00e0 tal-kelma f’Malta.<\/p>\n
Ippermettuli nfakkar kif wasalna s’hawn.<\/p>\n
Daphne Caruana Galizia \u0121iet assassinata fis-16 ta’ Ottubru 2017. Aktar tard sirna nafu li nqatlet min\u0127abba x-xog\u0127ol tag\u0127ha b\u0127ala \u0121urnalista. Dawk li kienu nkixfulhom g\u0127awwarhom baqg\u0127u jgawdu mill-impunit\u00e0 u n\u0127olqot atmosfera li fiha l-assassini tag\u0127ha komplew jag\u0127mlu l-arja bil-libert\u00e0 kollha. Naf li dan kollu di\u0121\u00e0 tafuh. I\u017cda dan ktibtu g\u0127aliex kien l-assassinju ta’ Daphne li mhux biss wassal biex inbeda’ d-dibattitu dwar ir-riforma fix-xandir u fil-\u0121urnali\u017cmu f’Malta i\u017cda, paradossalment, kien ukoll il-qofol ta’ snin ta’ abbu\u017ci, ta’ intimidazzjoni u ta’ vjolenza finanzjarja, legali u psikolo\u0121ika li kienet sofriet Daphne Caruana Galizia. Din il-vjolenza kollha ma kienitx tqieset b\u0127ala wa\u0127da li kienet drammatika bi\u017c\u017cejjed biex titnieda diskussjoni dwar il-mod kif g\u0127andhom jinbidlu l-li\u0121ijiet bil-g\u0127an li Daphne tit\u0127alla ta\u0127dem ming\u0127ajr il-bi\u017ca’ li ti\u0121i eliminata fi\u017cikament. Kellu jkun l-assassinju tag\u0127ha li wassal g\u0127ad-dibattitu li jinsab g\u0127addej.<\/p>\n
Imbag\u0127ad saret l-inkjesta dwar l-assassinju tag\u0127ha li elenkat il-perikli li l-\u0121urnalisti jsibu ma’ wi\u010b\u010bhom huma u ja\u0127dmu f’dan il-pajji\u017c. Perikli li tant huma serji li wasslu g\u0127all-assassinju ta’ \u0121urnalista. Dan ma jistax \u0127lief ifisser li d-destin tal-\u0121urnalisti kollha jinsab marbut ma’ dak ta’ \u0121urnalista wa\u0127da.<\/p>\n
L-Im\u0127allfin tal-inkjesta temmew ix-xog\u0127ol tag\u0127hom f’Lulju 2021 u l-gvern baqa’ b’idejh fuq \u017caqqu g\u0127al xhur s\u0127a\u0127 u dan sakemm l-Oppo\u017cizzjoni fasslet abbozzi ta’ li\u0121ijiet bil-g\u0127an li jitwettqu r-rakkomandazzjonijiet tal-Im\u0127allfin. Dawn l-abbozzi twarrbu mill-gvern. U biex jidhru “po\u017cittivi” \u0127atru Kumitat ta’ Esperti li, skont il-gvern, kellu je\u017camina oqsma spe\u010bifi\u010bi \u0127afna tar-riformi li rrakkomandaw l-Im\u0127allfin. Oqsma li l-gvern ried li jibda’ bihom.<\/p>\n
Il-president tal-Kumitat tal-Esperti, Michael Mallia – ji\u0121ifieri l-istess bniedem li mexxa’ l-inkjesta dwar il-qtil ta’ Daphne – llum spjega li f’\u0120unju 2022 huwa bg\u0127at lista lill-gvern ta’ rakkomandazzjonijiet dwar il-kwistjonijiet li l-gvern ried li jag\u0127tihom prijorit\u00e0. G\u0127al 3 xhur s\u0127a\u0127 baqa’ ma sema’ xejn ming\u0127and il-gvern.<\/p>\n
Imbag\u0127ad, b\u0127al sajjetta fil-bnazzi, l-Ministru Jonathan Attard bg\u0127at g\u0127all-esperti u qalilhom li kien bi \u0127siebu jxandar abbozzi dwar tibdiliet fil-li\u0121ijiet li bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tag\u0127hom kienu ser jitwettqu 87% tar-rakkomandazzjonijiet li kienu saru. L-esperti tg\u0127idx kemm fer\u0127u.<\/p>\n
U dan sakemm Jonathan Attard sejja\u0127 konferenza stampa biex i\u0127abbar ix-xandir tal-abbozzi tal-li\u0121ijiet, liema abbozzi l-esperti stess u a\u0127na lkoll kellna l-opportunit\u00e0 li niflu g\u0127all-ewwel darba dak li l-gvern kellu f’mo\u0127\u0127u li jag\u0127mel.<\/p>\n
Huwa minnu li 13% biss tar-rakkomandazzjonijiet kienu twarrbu. I\u017cda lkoll tbella\u0127na hekk kif intba\u0127na fiex kienu jikkonsistu dawn it-13%. Imma\u0121inaw li tkunu \u0121ejtu mistiedna g\u0127al ikla tal-Milied biex idduqu d-dundjan imsajjar. I\u017cda mbag\u0127ad ssiru tafu li l-la\u0127am tad-dunjan twarrab mill-men\u00f9. U jservukom biss platti mimlijin \u0127axix u zalza tal-\u0127ob\u017c.<\/p>\n
Il-president tal-Kumitat ta’ Esperti Michael Mallia llum stqarr li hu, flimkien mal-membri tal-kumitat tieg\u0127u, kienu \u0121ew kritikati talli kienu naqsu li jikkonsultaw mal-pubbliku qabel g\u0127addew biex ippre\u017centaw ir-rakkomandazzjonijiet tag\u0127hom. Tabil\u0127aqq kien hemm kritika qawwija u jien kont fost dawk li g\u0127amlu l-kritika. I\u017cda llum nammetti li din il-kritika ma kienitx f’lokha. Kif illum spjega \u010bar Mallia, l-Kumitat ta’ Esperti qatt ma kien ing\u0127ata l-awtorit\u00e0 biex jidde\u010biedi dwar il-kontenut tal-abbozzi tal-li\u0121ijiet. Setg\u0127u biss jippruvaw jipperswadu u t\u0127allew fil-g\u0127ama dwar dak li ried iwettaq il-gvern. Gvern li wera’ li ried jag\u0127mel fattih biss.<\/p>\n
Il-gvern ukoll \u0127ass il-pressjoni tal-kritika qawwija li kienet saret dwar in-nuqqas ta’ konsultazzjoni i\u017cda ma kienx bi \u0127siebu jammetti li kien \u017cgarra. U, minn fuq, il-gvern wa\u0127\u0127al fil-Kumitat tal-Esperti talli dawn – skont il-gvern – naqsu li jikkonsultaw. G\u0127aldaqstant talabhom biex jikkonsultaw u jissottomettu rakkomandazzjonijiet riveduti.<\/p>\n
Affarijiet li bilkemm jitwemmnu! Il-Kumitat tal-Esperti – fil-fehma tieg\u0127i bl-aktar mod \u0121enwin – a\u010b\u010betta li jag\u0127milha tal-kuntrattur g\u0127all-gvern u da\u0127al flok il-ministru, flok il-\u0127addiema ta’ ta\u0127tu u flok l-awtoritajiet nazzjonali biex jisma’ dak li kellhom x’ig\u0127idu l-\u0121urnalisti u tas-so\u010bjet\u00e0 \u010bivili dwar it-tibdiliet li g\u0127andhom isiru fil-li\u0121ijiet li jolqtuhom direttament u li jolqtu t-t\u0127addim tad-demokrazija.<\/p>\n
G\u0127andi ng\u0127id li r-rieda tajba m’hix sku\u017ca g\u0127aliex il-kumitat li llum qed iniedi l-konsultazzjonijiet m’g\u0127andux l-i\u010bken idea liema 13% mir-rakkomandazzjonijiet li ser jag\u0127mlu ser jitwarrbu mill-gvern. Li hemm ag\u0127ar huwa l-fatt li, huma u jda\u0127\u0127lu tibdiliet ko\u017cmeti\u010bi u ineffettivi g\u0127al-li\u0121ijiet jew tibdiliet li ser jirrendu aktar iebsa l-\u0127ajja g\u0127all-professjoni tal-\u0121urnalisti f’Malta, ser ikollhom il-wi\u010b\u010b imorru jg\u0127idu li t-tibdiliet li ser isiru huma frott il-konsultazzjonijet li saru.<\/p>\n
Lanqas biss indenjaw ru\u0127hom jattendu g\u0127al laqg\u0127a ta’ konsultazzjoni. Il-Ministru Jonathan Attard bg\u0127at ig\u0127id li kien sar jaf bil-laqg\u0127a tard wisq u ma setax i\u0127assar l-appuntamenti li kellu. Ng\u0127id jien, il-gvern ma setax bg\u0127at wie\u0127ed mill-konsulenti legali u ri\u010berkaturi tieg\u0127u biex isir jaf x’qed jipproponu l-\u0121urnalisti u l-membri tas-so\u010bjet\u00e0 \u010bivili dwar li\u0121ijiet li suppost qeg\u0127sin hemm biex ma jse\u0127\u0127ux assassinji b’karrozzi-bomba fid-dawl tax-xemx ta’ \u0121urnalisti li jistg\u0127u ikunu l-kaw\u017ca ta’ skumdit\u00e0 g\u0127alih?<\/p>\n
Il-verit\u00e0 hi li l-gvern kuntent jarana nit\u0127addtu ma’ xulxin dwar kif g\u0127andna ntejjbu l-\u0127arsien tal-\u0121urnalisti, i\u017cda fl-a\u0127\u0127ar mill-a\u0127\u0127ar nafu li xorta wa\u0127da ser jag\u0127mel fattih, nit\u0127addtu kemm nit\u0127addtu.<\/p>\n
L-Unjoni Ewropea qed ta\u0127dem fuq sensiela ta’ direttivi li, \u0121aladarba jidda\u0127\u0127lu fil-li\u0121ijiet, fit-teorija g\u0127andhom i\u0121ieg\u0127lu lill-gvern itejjeb materjalment l-ambjent li fih ikollhom ja\u0127dmu l-\u0121urnalisti. I\u017cda dan il-gvern g\u0127andu \u0127abta li d-direttivi Ewropej ida\u0127\u0127alhom fil-li\u0121ijiet b’mod li ji\u0127gura li dawn ma jkunux jistg\u0127u jit\u0127addmu u jitwettqu fil-prattika. E\u017cempju klassiku huwa l-mod kif idda\u0127\u0127let il-li\u0121i dwar il-Whistleblower. <\/em>G\u0127aliex, fl-a\u0127\u0127ar mill-a\u0127\u0127ar, kull min jitlob li jing\u0127ata status<\/em> ta’ whistleblower<\/em> jkun effettivament qed jirriskja li jintbag\u0127at il-\u0127abs sempli\u010bement biss g\u0127aliex ikun talab li jing\u0127ata dan l-istatus<\/em>.<\/p>\n Bi\u017c\u017cejjed insemmu l-abbozzi ta’ li\u0121ijiet li xandru f’Settembru li g\u0127adda ming\u0127ajr ma kkonsultaw ma’ \u0127add. Jitkellmu u jabbozzaw dwar l-importanza tal-\u0121urnali\u017cmu g\u0127ad-demokrazija tag\u0127na i\u017cda mbag\u0127ad ida\u0127\u0127lu l-emendi f’artiklu 2 tal-Kostituzzjoni li ma jag\u0127ti protezzjoni ta’ xejn g\u0127aliex ebda qorti ma tista’ tinforzahom.<\/p>\n Sadattant l-istess tibdiliet li qalulna li g\u0127andhom itejbu l-libert\u00e0 \u0121urnalistika, ser jag\u0127tu lill-gvern id-dritt li jg\u0127asses fuq il-\u0121urnalisti \u2013 suppost g\u0127as-sigurt\u00e0 tag\u0127hom stess – u dan ming\u0127ajr ma jkun hemm \u0127add li jg\u0127arbel dak li jag\u0127mel il-gvern (b\u0127al xi m\u0127allef jew kumitat parlamentari) u l-\u0121urnalist ma jing\u0127ata ebda \u0127jiel li jkun qed ji\u0121i ng\u0127asses minn xi a\u0121ent sigriet tal-gvern jew – jekk jog\u0127\u0121obkom emmnuni dwar dan – minn xi membru tal-militar. Affarijiet b\u0127al dawn kienu jse\u0127\u0127u wara l-purtiera tal-\u0127adid.<\/p>\n It-tibdiliet li qed jipproponu fil-li\u0121ijiet ser iservu ta’ twissija g\u0127all-\u0127addiema tas-servizz \u010bivili li jkollhom jiffa\u010b\u010bjaw konsegwenzi gravi kemm il-darba jg\u0127addu informazzjoni lill-\u0121urnalisti. G\u0127aliex, tafu intom, b’hekk biss inkunu nistg\u0127u nwerwru lil min ikun xhud ta’ illegalitajiet u ta’ korruzzjoni. Meta l-gvern jitkellem dwar il-\u0127arsien tal-whistle-blowers,<\/em> ikun qed ig\u0127addina mill g\u0127ajn il-labra.<\/p>\n U biex ikun jista’ jsikket lill-\u0121urnalisti, l-gvern qed jipproponi dak li qed isejja\u0127 b\u0127ala li\u0121ijiet anti-SLAPP<\/em>. B\u0127ala wie\u0127ed li kemm il-darba kien vittma ta’ pro\u010beduri b\u0127al dawn, g\u0127andi seba’ mitt sena li jkolli l-opportunit\u00e0 li lill-gvern ng\u0127idlu f’wi\u010b\u010bu biex ma jippruvax jg\u0127addini bi\u017c-\u017cmien. Il-li\u0121i anti-SLAPP tid\u0127ol fis-se\u0127\u0127 biss meta l-\u0121urnalist jissottometti talba fil-qorti fejn ori\u0121inarjament tkun saret il-kaw\u017ca. Dan ifisser li jekk ti\u0121i m\u0127arrek fl-Istat ta’ Arizona – kif kienet \u0121iet im\u0127arrka Daphne – ikollna problema, hux hekk?<\/p>\n Dawn ming\u0127alihom li jkunu qed i\u0127arsu lill-\u0121urnalisti bid-d\u0127ul ta’ klawsola dwar i\u010b-\u010ba\u0127diet ta’ kaw\u017ci ta’ libell, mhux g\u0127ax dawn ikunu vessatorji, iservu biex jintimidaw jew b’mod strate\u0121iku jippruvaw jeqirdu l-parte\u010bipazzjoni tal-pubbliku, i\u017cda g\u0127ax ikunu “manifestament infondati”. B\u0127al dak li qallu g\u0127ad ikun hawn xi \u0127add li jag\u0127mel kaw\u017ca “manifestament infondata” kontra xi \u0121urnalist bil-g\u0127an li jwerwruh!<\/p>\n G\u0127aldaqstant l-abbozz li ilu li n\u0127ema minn Settembru li g\u0127adda ma jiswiex karlin. Dan l-abbozz sa\u0127ansitra j\u0127alli barra u jonqos li jittratta kwistjonijiet importanti li \u0121ew identifikati mill-Im\u0127allfin tal-inkjesta. Kwistjonijiet li jittrattaw dwar il-protezzjoni effettiva tal-\u0121urnalisti sabiex dawn jit\u0127allew iwettqu x-xog\u0127ol tag\u0127hom ming\u0127ajr xkiel. Il-gvern g\u0127adu lanqas biss beda’ jiddiskuti r-riforma fil-li\u0121ijiet dwar il-libert\u00e0 tal-informazzjoni,\u00a0 dwar kif l-infiq tal-gvern fil-mezzi tax-xandir g\u0127andu ji\u0121i regolat, dwar kif ir-regolamenti g\u0127andhom jitjiebu sabiex ix-xandir jin\u0127eles darba g\u0127al dejjem mill-propaganda parti\u0121\u0121jana, dwar kif g\u0127andhom jit\u0127arsu tassew il-whistle-blowers<\/em> b’mod spe\u010bjali dawk li ja\u0127dmu fi \u0127dan il-gvern u dwar kif g\u0127andu jkun regolat u mg\u0127arbel ix-xandir pubbliku.<\/p>\n S’issa \u0127add mill-gvern g\u0127adu tniffes dwar dawn is-su\u0121\u0121etti. Il-Kumitat ta’ Esperti qed jittama li dawn il-kwistjonijiet g\u0127ad ji\u0121u trattati fil-\u0121ejjieni. Mhux a\u0127jar tif\u0127tu ftit g\u0127ajnejkom? G\u0127addew 6 snin mill-assassinju ta’ Daphne u g\u0127adna qed nitkellmu dwar l-ewwel kapitlu tar-riformi li di\u0121\u00e0 kien messhom da\u0127lu meta kienet g\u0127adha \u0127ajja. Li kienu dawn idda\u0127\u0127lu meta kellhom jidda\u0127\u0127lu, Daphne kienet tkun im\u0127arsa mill-ambjent tossiku li nibbet dan il-gvern.<\/p>\n Il-gvern qed juri m’g\u0127andux g\u0127a\u0121\u0121la jda\u0127\u0127al it-tibdiliet li mal-mog\u0127dija ta\u017c-\u017cmien qed isiru dejjem aktar ur\u0121enti. Illum il-Kumitat ta’ Esperti g\u0127amel anali\u017ci tal-abbozzi ta’ li\u0121ijiet li xxandru f’Settembru li g\u0127adda u \u0121ibed l-attenzjoni g\u0127all-g\u0127ibien tad-dundjan mill-mejda tal-ikla tal-Milied. Naf fi\u010b-\u010bert g\u0127ax rajt b’g\u0127ajnejja li din l-anali\u017ci ilha li tlestiet minn Ottubru.<\/p>\n Dan ifisser li in\u0127lew erba’ xhur s\u0127a\u0127. M’jinix inwa\u0127\u0127al fil-Kumitat ta’ Esperti. Ma kienx xog\u0127olu li jimbotta. Il-gvern g\u0127andu responsabbiltajiet fil-konfront tal-pajji\u017c. Meta l-Im\u0127allfin tal-inkjesta tkellmu dwar in-nuqqasijiet u fallimeti tal-istat, kienu qed jitkellmu fuq in-nuqqasijiet u dwar il-fallimenti tal-gvern. Fix-xhur u s-snin ta’ qabel is-16 ta’ Ottubru 2017 ma sar xejn dwar dawn in-nuqqasijiet u dwar dawn il-fallimenti. U minn dakinhar ‘l hawn, il-gvern baqa’ xorta wa\u0127da m’g\u0127amel assolutament xejn.<\/p>\n Issa g\u0127andhom il-wi\u010b\u010b sfiq li jwa\u0127\u0127lu fil-Kumitat ta’ Esperti. Kumitat li qed jaqla’ fuq rasu mill-\u0121urnalisti u mis-so\u010bjet\u00e0 \u010bivili min\u0127abba n-nuqqasijiet u l-fallimenti tal-gvern.<\/p>\n Il-verit\u00e0 hi li l-gvern m’g\u0127andu ebda intenzjoni li jda\u0127\u0127al tibdiliet fil-li\u0121ijiet li jkunu tibdiliet effettivi tabil\u0127aqq\u00a0 li j\u0127arsu l-libert\u00e0 \u0121urnalistika.<\/p>\n Li kieku kien minnu li l-gvern iqis lill-\u0121urnali\u017cmu \u0127ieles b\u0127ala pilastru ewlieni tad-demokrazija, kien ikun huwa stess li jie\u0127u l-inizjattiva biex, flimkien mal-\u0121urnalisti, jiddiskuti r-riformi li huma me\u0127tie\u0121a biex f’pajji\u017cna l-\u0121urnalisti j\u0127ossuhom liberi li jwettqu x-xog\u0127ol tag\u0127hom ming\u0127ajr bi\u017ca’.<\/p>\n Il-gvern dan \u010bertament mhux ser jag\u0127mlu.
