It is not over yet. Our work will continue in the coming months.
I promise to do my utmost to see that the proposal gets through @europarl_en. As I have done in past years, I will continue making the case for journalistic protection across Europe, for the sake of our democracy.

Today I personally thanked @VeraJourova for believing in our work to protect #journalists following yesterday’s announcement of an anti-#SLAPP Directive.
The anti-SLAPP package has an official name. But to VP Jourová and to all of us, it is Daphne's law.

RT @VeraJourova: Glad to discuss our brand new proposal on abusive litigation against #journalists and civil society with @CASECoalition.
Many thanks for your work against #SLAPPs.
I wanted to call it Daphne's law, as I felt that #DaphneCaruanaGalizia was working with us on that.

I have nominated @daphnefdtn (a project seeking justice for #DaphneCaruanaGalizia’s assassination) for the European Citizen’s Prize.
Its ethos is rooted in European fundamental rights: it strives for the promotion of rule of law, prioritising justice & the end of impunity.

I have been proud to support the Iranian people in their struggle against totalitarianism. It was moving to meet representatives of the Iranian Opposition earlier today, who presented me with a poignant publication documenting the massacre of political prisoners in #Iran.

Dr Laura Codruţa Kövesi, the first European Chief Prosecutor, visited Malta and was not impressed.
“Someone was always ready to point to someone else who was absent unfortunately and unable to answer our questions.
That really did make things difficult for us.”

Pope Francis' visit to #Malta has moved @presidentmt to reflect on the needless loss of life in Ukraine. There is not much he can do there. So I remind him about the needless loss of life in the war against corruption. That war is not over yet.
