On his part, Prime Minister Robert Abela emphasised the people’s right to vote for who they want to be leading the country.

He said that this is why the 8th of June will be important as this will once again give the people the power to choose and not fall under the influence of who want to manipulate how the country is run.

He ended by saying that neither he, nor the court, nor the establishment possess the power to lead the country.

Meanwhile, Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech said the justice system is being attacked by the chief of the executive – the prime minister – as they influence how the justice system works and who it serves justice against.

He accused the Prime Minister as knowingly lying and that he can do this as he is only interested in the upcoming elections and the seats of power.

This comes as the court case opened by the Nationalist Party has been extended once again.

‘Wake Up & Protect Journalists’: Institute Of Maltese Journalists

May 3 2024

On World Press Freedom Day 2024, the Institute of Maltese Journalists (IGM) demanded urgent government action to enact laws safeguarding journalists.

Despite nearly a year’s delay, the promised white paper remains elusive, leaving journalists vulnerable. The IGM emphasized the critical need for legislation to create an environment conducive to media professionals fulfilling their democratic duties effectively.

This call comes amidst the government’s procrastination despite its expert committee’s recommendations to shield journalists from legal harassment, particularly SLAPPs. Despite rhetoric acknowledging the media’s crucial role in democracy, tangible progress has been lacking.

Additionally, unresolved recommendations from the inquiry into Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination underscore the urgency for action. The IGM proposed initiatives including a robust media council and formal recognition as Malta’s inaugural journalists’ trade union to address challenges in media independence and sustainability.

Collaboration with civil society is highlighted as crucial to fortifying Malta’s media landscape and democracy itself.

Despite a notable 11-place improvement to 73rd out of 180 countries on the World Press Freedom Index, Malta remains second-to-last among EU member states, highlighting persistent challenges.

The government’s failure to implement recommendations from the Caruana Galizia inquiry, coupled with unresolved issues in media protection and sustainability, constrains progress.

Although Malta’s adoption of the European Media Freedom Act offers hope, the global press freedom situation remains grim, with only eight countries enjoying a “good” status. RSF underscores the vital role of journalism in democracy and calls for concerted efforts globally to safeguard press freedom.
