PHOTOGRAPHY BY Just six days prior to E-Day, Gonzi once again launched an appeal to the thousands of vot- ers who as yet have not collected their voting documents. “It is very important. We only have five seats in the European Parliament. Each vote is worth gold. Maybe we’ll get the sixth seat, God be willing. I genuinely appeal to everyone – make the right choice. Go and vote.” Gonzi urged PN supporters to vote for each and every National- ist candidate. “I am trusting you. On 6 June go and pick your preferences, make the best choices. Don’t leave any candidate out.” Lawrence Gonzi accused the Labour Party of being irrespon-irrespon- sible for shrugging it shoulders over important issues suchuch as im- migration. “We can make mistakes.akes.

  • Public Inquiry Into the Assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia Written
    Public Inquiry into the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia Written submission 31 March 2021 Authored by: Supported by: This submission has been coordinated by the Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR), which tracks, monitors and responds to violations of press and media freedom in EU Member States and Candidate Countries. This project provides legal and practical support, public advocacy and information to protect journalists and media workers. The MFRR is organised by a consortium led by the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) including ARTICLE 19, the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), Free Press Unlimited (FPU), the Institute for Applied Informatics at the University of Leipzig (InfAI), International Press Institute (IPI) and CCI/Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso Transeuropa (OBCT). The project is co-funded by the European Commission. www.mfrr.eu Introduction 1. Our organisations, experts in freedom of expression and media freedom who work on research and advocacy on freedom of expression in Malta, are grateful for the opportunity to contribute our submission to this important process. Our submission will focus on the following areas of the Terms of Reference1: ● “To determine whether any wrongful action or omission by or within, any State entity facilitated the assassination or failed to prevent it. In particular whether (a) any State entity knew or ought to have known of, or caused, a real and immediate risk to Daphne Caruana Galizia’s life including from the criminal acts of a third party and (b) failed to take measures within the scope of its powers which, judged reasonably, it might have been expected to take in order to avoid that risk; ● “To determine whether the State has fulfilled and is fulfilling its positive obligation to take preventive operational measures to protect individuals whose lives are at risk from criminal acts in particular in the case of journalists.” The Establishment of the Public Inquiry 2.

    Restricted AS/Jur (2019) 23 20 May 2019 ajdoc23 2019 Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination and the rule of law, in Malta and beyond: ensuring that the whole truth emerges Draft report Rapporteur: Mr Pieter OMTZIGT, the Netherlands, Group of the European People’s Party A. Preliminary draft resolution 1. Daphne Caruana Galizia, Malta’s best known and most widely-read investigative journalist, whose work focused on corruption amongst Maltese politicians and public officials, was assassinated by a car bomb close to her home on 16 October 2017. The response of the international community was immediate. Within the Council of Europe, the President of the Parliamentary Assembly, the Secretary General and the Commissioner for Human Rights all called for a thorough investigation of the murder. Ms Caruana Galizia’s murder and the continuing failure of the Maltese authorities to bring the suspected killers to trial or identify those who ordered her assassination raise serious questions about the rule of law in Malta. 2. Recalling the recent conclusions of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) and the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) concerning Malta, the Assembly notes the following: 2.1. The Prime Minister of Malta is predominant in Malta’s constitutional arrangements, sitting at the centre of political power, with extensive powers of appointment; 2.2. The Office of the Prime Minister has taken over responsibility for various areas of activity that present particular risks of money laundering, including on-line gaming, investment migration (‘golden passports’) and regulation of financial services, including cryptocurrencies; 2.3.

This report has been published with the kind financial support of the Justice for Journalists Foundation. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARYN On 16 October 2017, journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated by a car bomb that detonated near her home in Bidnija, Malta – an act that was previously unthinkable in an EU state. Caruana Galizia was the country’s most prominent journalist, known for her courageous investigative reporting exposing official corruption in Malta and beyond, including her reporting on the Panama Papers. A full two years on, there has still been no justice for this heinous assassination, which has shed light on broader systemic failings with regard to Malta’s press freedom climate, rule of law, and democratic checks and balances.

  • Commissioner for Standards in Public Life Case Report K/010
    CASE REPORT Case No: K/010 Complaint: Use of public funds for the promotion of personal social media pages of Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries. Complainant: Christian Peregin, Chief Executive Officer, Lovin Malta Complaint Date: 14 August 2019 Report Date: 7 May 2020 The Complaint On 14th August 2019, I received a complaint by email from Mr Christian Peregin, Chief Executive Officer of Lovin Malta (the Complainant), requesting me to investigate whether taxpayer funds are being used by ministers and parliamentary secretaries for the administration of their personal social media pages and advertising on said pages (email attached and marked Document A). The email (the Complaint) consisted of four points. In his first point, the Complainant states as follows: “…Practically every Ministry and Parliamentary Secretariat (e.g. Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Equality, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Health etc) no longer has its own official social media pages. Instead, these entities promote their work through the personal pages of the ministers or parliamentary secretaries. This means that when taxpayer money is used to buy Facebook advertising on behalf of a ministry, the page running the campaign and getting the added promotion is the personal page of the politician rather than the ministry itself. ___________________________________________________________ Office of the Commissioner for Standards in Public Life, 11, St Paul Street, Valletta VLT 1210, Malta (+356) 27 269 593 [email protected] www.standardscommissioner.com The Complainant argues that this situation blurs the line between the political and the personal, making it difficult for taxpayers to judge whether public funds are being truly used in the public interest.
