AD Chairperson Carmel Cacopardo welcomed the Greens in the European Parliament initiative to send an urgent mission to look at the rule of law in Malta after the recent revelations around the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. AD also welcomes a debate about the recent revelations in Malta in the December Plenary.

Carmel Cacopardo said: “As a European Union country Malta has been in the spotlight. Our systems are weak and Prime Ministers in Malta are all powerful. The current situation shows us that this is dangerous, subject to abuse, and must change.” 

“The European Parliament mission must investigate all potential links of the criminal underworld to the Prime Minister who has protected and defended Ministers Konrad Mizzi and Chris Cardona for so long, and whose former Chief of Staff with access to sensitive information is heavily implicated in the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. Malta must adhere to the rule of law and European values.”
