Continues from Part 2 published yesterday. Written by a guest writer known to me. The incumbent Nationalist MEPs have done a good job in protecting Malta and its economy from Labour’s rapacious beast. They have attempted  to show the EU that it is  a group of corrupt politicians that are the problem, not the Maltese [...]

Articolo 21 is an Italian free speech NGO. Their website interviewed me yesterday on World Press Freedom Day. Here's a link to the interview (in Italian).

Are EU citizens and their rights to a just society sufficiently protected and guaranteed? Is the EU doing enough? Can it do more? What constraints currently exist? During this talk, we will take a cursory look at the development of the principle of the rule of law within the European Union. This will be followed [...]

Nineteen months after Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated, justice has not been served. We must continue to demand it. Join Repubblika, #occupyjustice and this website at the Great Siege Memorial in Valletta on 16 May 2019 at 19:30.

The BBC featured this magnificent article by Matthew Caruana Galizia on World Press Freedom Day. "Supporters of the government openly celebrated the assassination, reminding me of those who celebrated the shooting of Turkish-Armenian newspaper editor Hrant Dink," Matthew Caruana Galizia wrote. "Others insinuated that I had planned the murder myself, or that my mother had [...]

The pervasive, rampant, bloody-minded racism of this country is breathtaking and it is led from the very top. Joseph Muscat knew that remark he made yesterday during his debate with Adrian Delia about foreigners picking up rubbish while native Maltese work as doctors in air-conditioned rooms (having their rubbish picked up by the foreigners) was [...]

Continues from Part 1 published yesterday. Written by a guest writer known to me. In just three years Labour has managed to undo much of the constructive work successive Nationalist administrations carried out in three decades. Labour’s Malta has now become the Venezuela of Europe. The West was relieved by Chavez’s death but the continuation [...]

At Zurich airport today. Your identity, your heritage, your culture, your nationhood, your pride, your citizenship. Put a price on it and let them take it away.

On World Press Freedom Day tomorrow, I’ll have the honour to speak about the life and work of Daphne Caruana Galizia at a public sit-in protest organised by the Italian National Press Federation (FNSI) at the Piazza Santi Apostoli in Rome just outside the offices of European institutions in the Italian capital. Other speakers at [...]

You see a news story like this on the national broadcaster about a man who marked May Day with 11 mannequins outside his main door presumably discarded by a factory showroom selling corporate uniforms or a second rate sex shop whose line of blow-up dolls has been withdrawn because of reported spontaneous combustion … And [...]

Today we start our sixteenth year as members of the European Union. On 30th April 2004, if you asked me to picture what hell for me would look like, I would have said it would be an eternity of this before my eyes. More fool me for thinking two days later that future was no [...]

Minister Owen Bonnici said today he’s publishing a bill to split the prosecutorial from the advisory role of the Attorney General. He says he’s implementing the recommendations of the Venice Commission but in reality, he’s doing no such thing. He’s staying clear of all the material suggestions the Venice Commission has made, making this a [...]

This is the first in a three-part series prepared by a guest writer known to me. Muscat’s economic policy is reminiscent of the gang of wreckers in Daphne Du Maurier’s novel ‘Jamaica Inn’. These wreckers made a fortune by tricking ships laden with goods into steering themselves on the rocks. The goods were then plundered [...]

Sometimes the old excuse that Daphne Caruana Galizia refused protection so that’s all the state could do about that comes up again. Mark Anthony Falzon’s piece on The Sunday Times made many arguments that at first I felt needed response. Until of course you realise that it is his piece which is itself a response [...]

If there’s “no inquiry”, they need not appeal Konrad Mizzi told the Constitutional Court his fundamental rights are breached simply by the fact that the law allows anyone, you included, to complain about him committing a crime and ask for an inquiry to start. The argument is well and truly absurd. Try to apply this [...]

If the Prime Minister is making you feel it’s all for nothing, his strategy is working Joseph Muscat is no idiot. Of course he knows Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri are now suspects in a criminal investigation. That in itself is not proof of wrongdoing and they continue to deny the wrongdoing. Innocent until proven [...]

There is a country that has a leader with an unwavering base of supporters. It would seem he can do no wrong in a surprising number of people’s eyes. It does not matter what he says or doesn’t say; it does not matter how many people close to him are accused of crimes and corruption, [...]

Konrad Mizzi, Keith Schembri, Brian Tonna and other accomplices today are a step closer to facing justice for crimes discovered by the Panama Papers leaks and Daphne Project revelations, after Magistrate Doreen Clarke ruled Repubblika and Simon Busuttil filed documents that “lend credibility to their request to have the evidence about their allegation preserved”. Magistrate [...]

"Malta f'qalbna," Joseph Muscat says. Which perhaps is why his chief of staff and his favourite Minister set up their money handling structures in Panama, New Zealand, Dubai, the British Virgin Islands and whatever other banana republic was prepared to cover for them. The theme of Labour's campaign is made to look happy hey ho [...]

Italian anti-mafia NGO Libera contro le mafie is naming its Ragusa headquarters for Daphne Caruana Galizia. In a statement the Sicilian offices of Libera announced the naming ceremony due tomorrow that will be addressed by the founder of Libera Don Luigi Ciotti. The ceremony is also being attended by Daphne’s sister Corinne Vella. Libera promoted [...]
