#Daphne'sLaw, the EU anti-SLAPP directive, was inspired by the horrific experience of Daphne Caruana Galizia who faced 48 abusive lawsuits at the time of her assassination in 2017. Help make Daphne's Law a reality across the EU. Sign here: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-04...

Protect people, not corporate bullies
The powerful always get what they want, right? Not if our governments finally start protecting people, instead of corporate bullies. A law to shield the people speaking up against injustices is ready....

1️⃣ 10 yrs after #PanamaPapers, Malta’s govt plans to scrap ministers’ asset declarations. 🚨 Ministers would no longer have to disclose: • assets • financial interests • offshore companies or trusts. ⚠️ Corrupt ministers could hide their profits from conflicts of interest and criminality.

🚨 Public procurement is one of the highest-risk areas for corruption. We analysed Malta’s procurement legislation and shared our findings with Transparency Int. to feed into the EU’s review of public procurement rules 🇪🇺 What’s decided now will apply to all Member States, including Malta.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated 8 years ago today. Malta must confront its failure: ensure her killers face full justice, & reform the broken systems that enabled her murder. Nothing can bring her back, but Malta must change to honour her life and legacy.
