The WhatsApp group seen by MaltaToday reveals messages from Nationalist MPs insisting that they would make their own plans for attending the protest organised by Civil society network. Over the last two days several Nationalist MPs had agreed that they would not walk with their leader Adrian Delia and would make it a point to attend the protest but keep a safe distance from Delia. Marlene Farrugia, in a Face book post this afternoon, called on Delia to resign before he inflicted more damage to Malta and the Nationalist Party.

During the same period MaltaToday had also carried in depth investigative stories on some of Delia's business history and client base, with reports on UK police investigations into links with London brothels and these offshore companies. In turn Delia had lashed out at Caruana Galizia inferring that she was a hate monger and 'a sort of journalist' (bicca gurnalist). He also opened five defamation cases against her allegations, which he later decided to withdraw after her murder in a bomb blast last Monday. Only this afternoon, The Malta Independent online portal where Pierre Portelli was until two months ago Content director carried a short announcement that Delia would not be participating in the Civil society network protest to be held this afternoon. All political parties have said they will attend. But Prime Minister Joseph Muscat announced on One Radio that he would not be attending as he felt that he was not welcome and did not wish to provoke any reaction. Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne will attend in his stead.

  • Submission to the Human Rights Committee by the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation
    Submission to the Human Rights Committee by The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation 130th Session, 12th October 2020​ - 6th November 2020 Malta’s third periodic review Under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights I. Introduction 1. Submitting Parties The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation welcomes the Human Rights Committee’s (HRC) request for information regarding human rights issues concerning the ‘State Party’ of Malta. The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation is a ​non-profit, independent and non-governmental organisation registered in Malta and was established by the family of the investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was assassinated in a car bomb attack in Malta on 16th October 2017. 2. The Foundation’s mission is accordingly; ensuring the public interest of full justice for Daphne’s assasination; supporting efforts to protect investigative journalists; ending impunity for the murder of journalists; ensuring the guardianship of Daphne’s work; promoting a culture of public interest litigation; supporting independent, non-partisan media.1 In doing so, we advocate for the complete fulfilment of the core values of international human rights laws, including but not limited to, the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to which Malta is a state party. 3. Our submission will focus specially on the failures to implement Article 2, Article 14, Article 17 and Article 19 of the ICCPR in Malta. The Foundation hopes that our assessment of these issues will contribute towards the Human Right Committee’s evaluation of Malta’s adherence to their obligations under international law. We support the full adherence to the 2018 Venice Commission recommendations to Malta, many of which are outstanding.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Word from the Founder and Director|
    2017 - 2020 IMPACT REPORT A word from the founder and director| In October 2017 as we were preparing to launch a collaborative " network of journalists dedicated to pursuing and publishing the work of other reporters facing threats, prison or murder, prominent Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was horrifically silenced with a car bomb. Her murder was a cruel and stark reminder of how tenuous the free flow of information can be when democratic systems falter. We added Daphne to the sad and long list of journalists whose work Forbidden Stories is committed to continuing. For five months, we coordinated a historic collaboration of 45 journalists from 18 news organizations, aimed at keeping Daphne Caruana Galizia’s stories alive. Her investigations, as a result of this, ended up on the front pages of the world’s most widely-read newspapers. Seventy-four million people heard about the Daphne Project worldwide. Although her killers had hoped to silence her stories, the stories ended up having an echo way further than Malta. LAURENT RICHARD Forbidden Stories' founder Three years later, the journalists of the Daphne Project continue and executive director. to publish new revelations about her murder and pursue the investigations she started. Their explosive role in taking down former Maltese high-ranking government officials confirms that collaboration is the best protection against impunity. 2 2017-2020 Forbidden Stories Impact Report A word from the founder and director| That’s why other broad collaborative On a smaller scale, we have investigations followed. developed rapid response projects.

  • MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 1
    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 Annual Festivals & Traditions The Maltese Islands have a number of religious festivities and cultural events that take place every year. Feast days are the life of the Islands and some holy days are actually national holidays, such as the feast of Santa Marija in mid-August. Others, such as the harvest festival of Mnarja at the end of June, are steeped in folklore. However, the most important events to all villages are their individual festas, honouring their parish patron saint. Religious holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, are highly celebrated, with the traditional festivities that go along with them. As families tend to be quite close-knit, the holidays are a time to strengthen the sense of community as well as reinforce family bonds. Church services play a large role during this time of year and during the Holy Week of Easter, many flock to the churches in great numbers for the‘seven visits', the visit of seven churches, to pay homage to the Altars of Repose. The festive commemorations are also a time of food, drink and merriment which brings out the Mediterranean roots of the locals. Families prepare large Christmasand Easter lunches; giving thanks for all that they have with their relatives. During these festas the streets are lined with carts, selling a wide assortment of differentfoods as well as the more traditional sweets and delicacies. Introduced relatively recently, cultural events such as the Malta Fireworks Festival, the Malta International Arts Festival, Notte Bianca, the Malta Jazz Festival , the Malta World Music Festival and Mediterranea in Gozo are becoming traditions in their own right.

  • Public Inquiry Into Assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia
    Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group Dr Robert Abela Office of the Prime Minister Auberge de Castille Valletta VLT 1061 Malta Subject: Public inquiry into the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia 9 December 2020 Dear Prime Minister Abela, On December 7th, you signalled to reporters that you do not wish for the Public Enquiry into the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia to be extended beyond the currently set end date of next week Tuesday December the 15th. As indicated in our previous letter of 29 September 2020, the Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group of the European Parliament's LIBE Committee believes it is of crucial importance to see the full truth emerge. As highlighted in that letter, the continuation of the Public Enquiry beyond the one-off extension to December 15th would allow for all the elements to be fully assessed. I also wish to add that the family members of Daphne Caruana Galizia are opposed to the looming cut-off date for the Public Enquiry. I would therefore like to reiterate our request to allow urgently the inquiry to run for as long as needed to fully uncover all relevant elements. With kind regards, Sophie in 't Veld, MEP Chair of the Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG) Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, European Parliament CC: David-Maria SASSOLI, President of the European Parliament Juan Fernando LÓPEZ AGUILAR, LIBE Chair Aaron ABDILLA, Chef de Cabinet .

    Daphne Caruana Galizia 16 October 2017 Bidnija, Malta So, even as the country was reeling from the news of her murder, some openly welcomed it. DAPHNE In the aftermath of her death, Caruana Gali- zia’s opponents directed their anger at her family for linking the murder to a weakening in Malta’s rule of law. One theory even held that the family had orchestrated her killing – ostensibly, according to some, to destabilize the government. ‘We were given no time to grieve,’ said Mat- thew Caruana Galizia, the eldest of her three CARUANA sons and part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team of journalists behind the Panama Papers investigation. He is now also a leading figure in an intensified rule-of-law campaign. ‘There was one day, for literally 12 hours, when we just sat at home talking to each other. That was 17 October. And during that time, the gov- ernment was going on the offensive against us GALIZIA and against my mother. That’s when we real- ized we couldn’t let things be, or there would definitely be no justice.’ Justice has become a watchword since then. On 16 October 2017, Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed Three men have been arrested and charged by a powerful car bomb minutes after leaving her home. with executing the murder. They’re pleading Caruana Galizia was Malta’s best-known and most innocent and have yet to face trial. Meanwhile, widely read journalist – and also its most divisive.

  • Where's Everybody
    OPINION POLL 3YEARS PL GOVERNMENT SURVEY CONDUCTED BY MALTAPOLLS 11/ 03/ 20 16 1. SURVEY METHODOLOGY 1.1 The survey was based on a questionnaire composed of four opinion questions and four demographic questions. 1.2 The study is based on a set of 600 completed telephone interviews, with a simple random sample drawn from Maltese registered voters who have a telephone installed at home. Statistically, at the 95% confidence level, the maximum sampling error for this type of study is estimated to be ± 4.2% (on issues with an expected 50/50 split points). To reduce the maximum 4.2% (as per mentioned above) to a maximum of 3%, the sample size would have to be increased to 1100, which is not recommended for this kind of project. 1.3 Respondents were selected through a one-step probability sampling procedure based on the last issue of the Electoral Register, which was matched with the telephone directory for this purpose. Respondents who do not subscribe for a GO telephone service were looked up in the Hello directory. If still untraceable, such persons were replaced. A random seed was used to identify the first respondent points; subsequent respondents were selected at regular intervals from the Maltese Electoral Register. In order to minimise the sampling error, the electoral register was divided into six equal parts. 1.4 A total of 1416 contacts were made, 600 of which accepted to be interviewed. 1.5 Interviews were carried out between Monday 7th and Thursday 10th March 2016 between 9am and noon and between 4pm and 8pm.
