Zammit Dimech said that while in Malta the government and its officials are using culture and heritage as an excuse to denigrate and attempt to erase the memory of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, artists want to celebrate her legacy. He said that culture and art were being used at the European Parliament to honor press freedom and Daphne Caruana Galizia's work. He said that people will continue to seek the truth and justice.
