Rocco Chinnici was assassinated by the Mafia, alongside 3 innocent others, 40 years ago today.
To prevent violence from unseating order, we must remember those who lost their lives fighting against the corrupt. Chinnici serves at once as an example, and a warning against omertà.

The Finance Minister has been evading an answer for months & is now caught lying about forking over €774k to his handpicked man.
No shame in trampling on our right to know where our taxes go. A mockery of his due accountability to the Parliament.
@ClydeCaruana must answer.

When the police raided his house, Muscat complained of needless theatrics used to humiliate him. With evidence of corruption and money laundering, it's no wonder he is so desperate to challenge the judiciary at every turn. Letting the institutions work only when it suits him.

31 years ago today, the world was shaken by a blast in Palermo that took the life of Paolo Borsellino. It came two months after Falcone's, both assassinations of the Mafia.
Their deaths are meaningful only if we continuously stand up to the violent and the corrupt. https://t.co/zUOjaNK8Zz

Co-Chairs of the @europarl_en Media Working Group, @RamonaStrugariu and I condemn the targeting of journalists by @presidentaz. Azerbaijan must abide by its international obligations and uphold basic rights. Europe must be a safe place with full rights to freedom of expression.

One of Joseph Muscat's tyrant friends, Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, is still threatening journalists sheltering from state-sanctioned violence on EU soil.
@Mirzali_FR and others will have their rights upheld in Europe. Their rights are also ours.

"The efficiency of the justice system has further deteriorated and raises concerns."
@EU_Commission's RoL Report confirms corrupt @PL_Malta is Malta's biggest obstacle to a healthy democracy. Media takeover persists, justice remains weak, no progress on human rights protection.

The strong confirmation of the JURI position on Daphne's law is another decisive step in the long journey to protect journalists from vexatious proceedings from those with deep pockets intolerant of scrutiny.

For any progress to be made in protecting journalists and the free press across Europe, we must retain an ambitious piece of legislation in the form of the anti-SLAPP Directive.

Today marks 31 years since Giovanni Falcone's assassination. His murder was an unambiguous message, that anyone challenging the Mafia's grip on power should be petrified.
If we don't fight the Mafia, it grows. Falcone's legacy remains a lesson for those who care about justice.
