Commissioner for Standards in Public Life George Hyzler was grilled before Members of CONT this morning pursuant to his nomination on the @EUauditors.
He was approved with an overwhelming 25 in favour, 2 against, 1 abstention.
Congratulations to Dr Hyzler for making Malta proud.
After pressure from @PNMalta, Robert Abela finally suspends #goldenpassports sale to Russians - a decision taken through convenience not conviction.
All past sales to Russians must be verified, in light of ongoing criminal case on graft in sale of passports to 3 Russians.
Rest in peace @EP_President David Sassoli. Your loss leaves us all saddened. Thank you for all your contribution towards social justice and #democracy. Your loss is a loss for all Europe.
Today, let us not only celebrate our country’s Independence, a vision that George Borg Olivier strived for, and achieved.
Let us celebrate the individual’s independence.
Let us celebrate everything we have achieved together that makes us independent.
These are not spoof websites. They are deep fakes.
They are part of a deliberate campaign of disinformation: false information spread to deceive.
The police need to catch those behind them and we must make sure our laws are ready for this sort of crime.

I condemn the culture of hate toward journalists and invite the Prime Minister to do the same immediately.
These attacks towards journalists, bloggers and politicians are weakening the pillars of Maltese democracy
We can’t remain silent in the face of threats and intimidation.
Heartbreaking scenes in Afghanistan.
So sad to see all the country’s progress disappear in the blink of an eye.
The world, including the EU, must stand together in a united response that seeks to protect Afghani women and other vulnerable groups.
The Government took millions from Maltese citizens, and tarnished #Malta's reputation because of the Electrogas deal.
In return, honest citizens get frequent power cuts during the night in the midst of a heatwave.
Malta deserves better.
After the PBS was found guilty of a lack of impartiality that contributed to creating an environment where a political murder could happen, Mark Laurence Zammit declares that he cannot carry on with his programme due to political interference.
The @PNmalta’s response to the conclusion of the public inquiry on the assassination of #DaphneCaruanaGalizia will be to work as hard as we can to enact the inquiry’s recommendations in the quickest time frame.
We are here to serve and lead by example.

Only a change to a Nationalist government will allow the institutions full freedom to do their jobs. Only a change to a Nationalist government will start to restore trust in Malta.
We owe it to Malta.

Congratulations to @BepGal on becoming the first Maltese to become Chairman of @edsnet, the largest student organisation in the EU. I have no doubt that you'll lead EDS professionally.
This is great news for #Malta, seeing one of its own reaching such heights in EU politics.
I'm glad to see the govt. take @PNmalta's proposal on board. It's not fair for un-vaccinated Maltese to not be allowed back in their country. However, the PM's incompetence in proper planning has cost these Maltese citizens a lot of money in cancelled flights, and re-booking.
Congratulations to Dr Christopher Barbara and his colleagues at the Toxicology Labs part of the Pathology Department at MDH on obtaining the highest overall performance score in this testing scheme.
Thanks for keeping us safe!
I would like to congratulate Cardinal Mario Grech on his appointment as member of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, the highest judicial authority of the Catholic Church.
