Attacks on the judiciary belong to a class of demogogue as Putin or Orban. They have no place in #Malta . If they persist they will lead to grave consequences at EU level. I will make sure of it.

Ursula von der Leyen Manfred Weber Věra Jourová

Freedom of movement is one of the most important rights in the EU, but not everyone can fully exercise this right.

Step up the inclusion of people with #disabilities through a European Disability and Parking Card!

Watch David Casa and S. Kympouropoulos. ⤵

A conduit for corrupt funds taken off the backs of Maltese patients and taxpayers and funnelled to none other than Joseph Muscat, that would rather be forcefully closed down than show its accounts.

What’s unfair is that the Maltese people were being robbed blind and you and your colleagues looked the other way so as to ensure your own noses remained firmly attached to the trough.

A courageous speech from our new President.

'Addiction to greed damages society as a whole. Don’t delay implementation of Daphne inquiry conclusions further.'

Her words augur well if she is to be a President for us all.

Heartfelt congratulations to friends and colleagues Portuguese MEPs Paulo Rangel, José M. Fernandes, Maria Graça Carvalho and Nuno Melo on their appointment as Ministers in the government led by the Prime Minister-designate Luís Montenegro ⛔Não oficial. Good luck for the future!

5 years after the Maltese took to the streets over a rule of law crisis, the progress made against corruption is abysmal. This Gov has exhausted its credibility knowing that ultimately it is citizens who will bear the brunt of its criminal disregard for anti corruption measures.

With today's EMPL Committee Press vote on the EU disability card and parking card, we are ensuring the freedom of movement for people with #disabilities throughout Europe. Now on to the vote in plenary to implement the common cards quickly and make Europe more inclusive! EPP Group

More spine-chilling court filings in Malta.

Whistleblowers are enticed with impunity.

Testimony about cabinet ministers given to the police is immediately leaked to same politicians.

Sheer impunity sacrificing the small fry to protect the criminals at the top.

With a strong result on the European Media Freedom Act, we have new safeguards against political and economic pressure on newspapers, pressures that subvert journalists' work and harm our democracies. After Daphne Caruana Galizia, this work is essential. Thank you Sabine Verheyen

I congratulate Ursula von der Leyen on her successful nomination as EPP lead candidate for the European Commission. We achieved a lot in the past years, challenging as they were. And there is much more the EPP can and will do.

Thank you Flutura Kusari for all your hard work from the very beginning of this long campaign. European Centre for Press and Media Freedom The CASE

APPROVED - 6 years since first calling for a European Anti-SLAPP Law, the European Parliament gives it final approval on DAPHNE's LAW. Now starts the process for a just transposition to protect journalists to the fullest extent possible.

Solidarity with my colleague Alessandra Mussolini. I am outraged that she was assaulted last night on the street in Strasbourg, where the European Parliament is in plenary.

Violence against women remains an ugly stain on our society, and we have so much more to do to eradicate it.
