Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, the EU’s smallest geographic\ncountry-member, announced at the end of November that he will remain Prime Minister\nuntil 12 January 2020, when the Maltese Labour Party institutions will be\nconverging to elect their new leader. The reason for this decision    was the conclusion of the investigation\ninto the murder of researcher-journalist Daphne Anne Caruana Calizia (2017) in\nMalta, which is a finding involving his very narrow associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Muscat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Muscat began his career as a journalist, an EU supporter, an elected Parliament member since his 30 years of age, having taken over the Labour Party’s authority after its defeating in the 2018 elections. In the 2009 European elections he led his party to victory and in 2013 took over the Prime Ministry of the Republic of Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, and having four years in the Prime Minister’s post, he achieved a\n55% stake in the early elections he had been forced to call when his wife had\nbeen charged with illegal financial actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his Prime Ministry, he succeeded in achieving significant economic\nachievements for the Maltese economy, reducing the deficit of the state budget,\nreducing unemployment to the historic low rate of 4% per annum, while the\ndevelopment of Maltese economy has reached a growth rate of 6%, giving him the\nopportunity to raise wages and pensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of the end and the dishonorable self-launching<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 19, 2017, the rented car used by the researcher-journalist\nand blogger Daphne Anne Caruana Calizia aged 53 years blown up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her action was substantial and overwhelming for the illegal\neconomic and criminal circuits that cooperated in a smooth way with the\ngovernment and political corruption of Malta. This fact is evidenced by the\nfact that this researcher-journalist had already had 48 lawsuits for what was\nbrought to light in her personal web-blog that had the name Running Commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government corruption, money laundering, organised crime and actions, etc.,\nhave been targeted at her research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016 and 2017 respectively, Daphne Anne Caruana Calizia revealed very sensitive information and publicly accused Maltese politicians whose names connected with the well-known Panama Papers. These names included the closest associates of the Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and his own wife for illegal activities.\u00a0 Daphne Anne Caruana Calizia was found fighting alone against the monster of Malta’s corruption and financial crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mobilization after the assassination<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The global thrill and mobilization following the assassination of Daphne\nAnne Caruana Calizia (2017) caused the acceleration to unify forces by dozens\nof volunteer journalists who, in memory of the unfortunate murdered journalist,\nmade the Daphne Project team. Daphne Project (2018) was what revealed that a\ncompany called 17 Black mentioned in Panama Papers belonged to one of the\nrichest people in Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2019, the tangle of the stench of political and economic crime\nin Malta began to unfold slowly. It was proved by the interrogations and the basis\nof the findings that the perpetrator and mastermind behind the murder of the\njournalist was the closest associate of the Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and\ndirector of the Malta\u2019s Prime Minister\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maltese judiciary instead of imprisoning the Prime Minister’s specific associate, let him free, causing the wrath of the Maltese people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the Ministers council support for the opposition accusations of the\nPrime Minister’s intervention in the investigation to protect his partner,\nMaltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat officially announced that he will remain\nPrime Minister as of 12 January 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this Prime Minister\u2019s announcement closes a huge circle in the political life of Malta, whose political\ncircle will be purged by the exemplary punishments of the moral and natural\nperpetrators in the Maltese criminal courts for the murder of journalist Daphne\nAnne Caruana Calizia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The support and protection framework for researchers-journalists<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to avoid in the future to repeat the killings of\nresearchers-journalists who, in their revelations, defend the functioning of\nthe democratic regime and governance equally by protecting them against\ncorruption and organised crime all the countries of the West and not only them\nthey must establish a specific financial package which will be managed by an\nindependent authority to which prosecutors are involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are the citizens-taxpayers themselves in a well-known state favoured by these revelations,\nand they should know every time what is happening in their society, which is\nwhy they should indirectly be the ones who are bearing this funding through the\nstate budget.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in the EU, there should only be one independent authority\nwithout its branches in each member-country. Researchers-journalists will be\nable to receive direct funding from this independent authority at their request\nand in a specific cryptographic manner in order to fully protect their personal\ndata and not be able to be known to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors participating in this independent authority will be obliged to ensure the protection of the personal data of these investigative journalists, while providing them with the necessary protection for their lives and as long holds the completion of their investigation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The funding that researchers-journalists will receive from this independent\nauthority will be used for their investigations and subsistence costs and for\nas long as their investigation lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a policy will enable small and independent groups of\nresearchers-journalists such as the Daphne Project-to be shown that their\nvocation will be to expose illegal acts of political and economic power\nrespectively as well as organised crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, these independent teams of researchers-journalists will be able to\nchoose to collaborate with any newspaper for the publication of their\nrevelations and given that they will have first passed a bill obliging the\nminimum one big newspaper to be obliged to publish their revelations in the\nextreme case that no newspaper wants for its own reasons to make the\npublication of their surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The establishment of the Daphne \nAnne  Caruana  Calizia Award awarded to every\nresearcher-journalist for his work will be a moral reward for the work of this\njournalist and for all those researchers-journalists who fight every day with\nthe beasts of the scourge of modern societies, protecting the smooth\nfunctioning of democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the real reward for the sacrifice of the murdered journalist will be\nthe exemplary punishment of the moral and natural perpetrators and the\nprotection of all journalists-researchers in the world. These are the modern\n“Templars” of democracy when they do their vocation properly, because\nthey protect the citizens from the arbitrariness and corruption of the power of\nauthority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
