Roberta Metsola pays tribute to Daphne Caruana Galizia, 5 years after her assassination!

Five years ago, Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Maltese investigative journalist, was horrifically assassinated outside her home. They used a car bomb to kill a woman in an attempt to try to silence her to stop her exposing corruption and organised crime. #eudebates the unique initiative aiming to promote debate, dialogue, knowledge, participation and communication among citizens. #Malta #Daphne #Galizia #Metsola #EuropeanParliament This parliament has been at the forefront of calls for justice, for respect, for the rule of law and for media freedom. And for the last half a decade, we have stood with Daphnis parents, sisters and children. We have legislated, we have demanded answers and we have scrutinised. Last night as president of this house, I addressed thousands who gathered in Malta and I promised that this house will channel grief into determination to ensure not only better laws for all, but justice for all of those involved in her murder and justice for the stories that Daphne died to bring to light. So from here, I would like to say the European Parliament will always stand on the side of truth seekers on the side of democracy, on the side of our values.
