The three sons of murdered Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia have issued a call for Europe’s main human rights watchdog to press the Mediterranean island state’s new prime minister to tackle corruption.
Matthew, Andrew and Paul Caruana Galizia published an open letter on Wednesday to members of the Council of Europe’s parliamentary assembly, warning that Robert Abela had “yet to commit to reform or to even acknowledge the depth of the country’s institutional crisis” after his predecessor Joseph Muscat was forced to step down.
Mr Abela has said the Muscat government’s near seven years in office did “a lot of good”, but has also acknowledged mistakes that he said would not be repeated. A Council of Europe parliamentary assembly monitoring committee is due to discuss Malta today Thursday.
