Freedom of the press is fundamental to our democracy. This is why we fought so hard for Daphne’s Law to address SLAPPs against journalists and activists. Now we are watching its application closely. drilled.media/news/EU-SLAPP

2025 Rule of Law Report on #Malta: No progress on the public inquiry recommendations into Daphne’s assassination. No progress on high level corruption convictions. No progress on protecting journalists. For Government of Malta 🇲🇹 to welcome such an indictment is astounding ineptitude.

good morning to passengers who started a diet then landed in Italy 🍝

The Partit Nazzjonalista has called for an immediate end to “the #genocide in #Gaza,” while simultaneously condemning prime minister Robert Abela's continued failure to recognise Palestinian statehood despite repeated promises. #Malta #LocalNews newsbook.com.mt/en/pn-abela-mu…

Starmer is correct: the Gaza situation is intolerable. High time for European leaders to advance their influence to end the unbridled devastation in Gaza and the Middle East. That includes recognising Palestine. After France, now the UK. What is Malta doing, Robert Abela ?

I welcome the decision to recognise the State of Palestine, but let’s be clear: this isn’t the 1st time Robert Abela has made this announcement. Back in June, he said the same thing. Now he’s saying in September. So instead of dragging it out again, the Gov should act now.

Following closely as world leaders meet in #Alaska for the US-Russia summit. Decisions made here will shape global security and diplomacy for years to come. Good to hear Trump is speaking with EU leaders after his meeting with Putin, as reported by Al Jazeera.

Revolting. Violence against women is no joke. This councillor thinks otherwise. Partit Laburista must now prove it doesn’t. timesofmalta.com/article/counci…

An incomprehensible precedent for the head of state to represent Robert Abela at EUCO level. The country merits an explanation as to why our Prime Minister was absent from a meeting of European heads of government. newsbook.com.mt/en/president-r…

EPP President Manfred Weber congratulates the newly elected Leader of Partit Nazzjonalista Alex Borg. As International Secretary, I remain committed to working closely with our Leader to strengthen #Malta’s and #Gozo’s standing within #Europe. 🇲🇹🇪🇺 EPP Group

As candidates, our duty is to put the interests of the people first, not the financial interests of a few. Partit Nazzjonalista Alex Borg’s pledge on party financing reform is a step forward for good governance and transparency, values we must uphold in #Gozo & #Malta timesofmalta.com/article/alex-b…

The EU has suspended trade benefits with Israel in response to atrocities in Gaza. Partit Nazzjonalista insists #Malta must fully support this decision. Silence is complicit. Malta must stand for human dignity, international law & peace. PN’s reaction to European Commission’s proposal:

Dear Viktor, I understand that there is an election campaign in your country, and that this time you are truly being challenged for power. But we do not interfere in your election campaign, nor do we want to become part of it. Sweden and the Swedish people have always been

The pro-European EPP party PAS 🇲🇩 of Maia Sandu, leads #Moldova’s parliamentary elections with 45% after 86% of votes counted. The pro-Russian party trails at 28%. A win, not only for Moldova, but also for Europe 🇪🇺 and Ukraine 🇺🇦.

We can now safely predict that the governing party of the Republic of Moldova has secured an absolute majority of seats in today’s Parliamentary election. Moldova remains firmly anchored on the pro-European path. Good news for the people of Moldova! Good news for Europe!

In the midst of a corruption-fuelled rule of law crisis in #Malta, Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR) reports that the constitutional right to public interest information is still being hindered, not least with publicly funded legal battles to deter journalists. mfrr.eu/freedom-of-inf…

Imagine the humiliation: embassies lay tributes to Daphne, and a taxpayer-funded government employee trashes them. Eight years on, this government has learnt absolutely nothing. Disgraceful. timesofmalta.com/article/watch-…
