📢 Justice

The fallout from the Yorgen Fenech acquittal intensified as activists staged protests during Malta's official Victory Day ceremonies, directly confronting Prime Minister Robert Abela with demands for justice for Daphne Caruana Galizia. These demonstrations occurred as the Ministry for Justice, Research and Innovation officially condemned and warned against disparaging remarks targeting Attorney General Victoria Buttigieg and national institutions, emphasizing the need to uphold their integrity. Further developments in the high-profile case include Matthew Caruana Galizia's call for a retrial and the Momentum group's advocacy for a comprehensive overhaul of the justice system, including structural reforms. The public also gained new insight into the case with the release of Yorgen Fenech's police interrogation video on YouTube. Meanwhile, the Nationalist Party criticized the Attorney General's absence during the trial proceedings. In unrelated domestic news, a survey indicated that most respondents are not swayed by government incentives to have more children. Additionally, Lovin Malta announced its acquisition of Love Malta, strengthening its media presence. Tragic incidents included a motorcycle collision in Żejtun leaving a young man in critical condition and a man setting himself on fire in Marsalforn.
