@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli I'm guessing that she didn't mention this to you -

timesofmalta.com/articles/view/…

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli Her husband harassed a journalist - @muscatcar on a case she reported on. The case involved a company of which @helenadalli and her husband owned a 99% shareholding.

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar One cannot help wondering how high her commitment and ability to fight for press freedom is seeing that she was unable or unwilling to do so in this matter.

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar Moreover after her husband lost the case, he proceeded to issue @muscatcar with a threat on social media.

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar You will also find @helenadalli 's claim to have always championed good governance to be a blatant lie if you dig deep enough. She forms part of a government that has corrupted #RuleOfLaw in #Malta to the extent that Malta can hardly be called a democracy any more.

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar This has been flagged by the @EuropeUnion @Europarl_EN @EU_Commission as well as @coe @VeniceComm

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar The corruption and impunity in #malta under the @MaltaGov has been under the microscope too and rightly so. #Greco #Moneyval reports on Malta are a must read if you are really interested in the state of affairs in #Malta.

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar Re #RuleOfLaw in #Malta you would do well to refer to the @VeniceComm report on Malta as well as the @Europarl_EN relevant committee reports.

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar The deterioration of #ruleoflaw and #democracy can also be followed in indices as can be #FreedomOfSpeech.

@FitzgeraldFrncs @helenadalli @muscatcar Frankly I would be extremely hesitant to call the @Europarl_EN 's questions to @helenadalli a grilling. It seemed to be more of an interview for a junior clerk than a @EU_Commission Commissioner. Cc @vonderleyen
