🕯️ Memorial

The ninth anniversary of the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia was marked in Bidnija with a banner stating that only the guilty ask for pardons. Speakers at the vigil described themselves as the noise the authorities did not want, urging the public not to hide when journalists face attacks. Prime Minister Robert Abela told an EU summit that the bloc’s budget must protect the interests of Malta and Gozo, specifically calling for more equitable funding to handle migration. He emphasized the need for joint solutions and fair funding to address immigration across the continent. A new Central Bank index has reconstructed the country's economic performance since 2001, tracking twenty-five years of volatility. Separately, a femicide observatory urged a change in social attitudes to prevent the murder of women, while a motorcyclist died in an accident in Ta' Qali late at night.
