‘Malta's investigation of high-level corruption remains lengthy,’ European Parliament hears

Malta featured in a rule of law debate held at the European Parliament on Thursday morning, with European Commissioner Vera Jourova saying that while there have been good reforms done in the...

latest comment from adrian borg cardona, 30/03/2023 11:24: Ms Jourova it’s not only the investigations that are lengthy, it’s also the EUs reaction to the ever disappearing rule of law in Malta. You’re being too polite with a government that has no shame in indulging in corruption, breaking ethical rules, capturing almost all of our institutions and granting impunity to its friends. Wake up before it’s too late and you have a dictatorship as an EU member.

latest comment from adrian borg cardona, 29/03/2023 19:40: For those who don’t know, in the 1980s the police would arrest those Labour wanted to silence, release them without charge after 48 hours and re-arrest them again as soon as they stepped out of Police HQ. That’s how Labour respects the rule of law. PN should never trust Labour - especially as they seem so keen on this law.

latest comment from Spiru Friggieri, 30/03/2023 01:42: PN says that five-and-a-half day arrest period is ‘exaggerated’ and ‘against human rights.’ Most definitely!!! In case of serious crimes there would be already enough evidence to proceed so there is no need to exceed beyond 72 hours!!!!

latest comment from Spiru Friggieri, 30/03/2023 02:03: PN spokesmen or spokeswomen keep endlessly attacking public officers for the simple reason that they can hit back! This is shameful and unacceptable! If this public officers are defaulting there are other ways how to drive home your point and not to keep mounting pressure on them to resign without any redress for them!! Shameful!!!
