When Yorgen Fenech conspired against his critics with his mates

The news of MaltaToday’s Saviour Balzan organising a lobby group with the Labour Party for the press is indeed, a very serious problem. It’s not just a matter of having the independent press captured by government subsidies and the control that this brings to the Labour Party over the press. MaltaToday has become the Labour Party’s English-language newspaper. It’s also a problem because, in this situation, the Labour Party has access to a press infrastructure which it can use to target and destroy its critics – this is exactly what the Labour Party does through Saviour Balzan and he did it once with Jason Azzopardi.

In 2019, before Yorgen Fenech was arrested, Yorgen was not just arming himself and buying weapons illegally, he was also conspiring with his allies to attack his critics and delegitimise them. Despite Saviour Balzan’s pleas that he was innocent in his service to Yorgen Fenech during that time, Balzan also told Yorgen Fenech at one point that he wanted to take revenge on Jason Azzopardi. This was at the same time when Yorgen Fenech was lobbying the Nationalist Party to remove David Casa, also one of his fiercest critics. Saviour Balzan helped pen a denial by Yorgen Fenech over the accusation by David Thake that Yorgen Fenech paid money to the PN to remove David Casa from the electoral list.

Coincidentally, when Yorgen Fenech and Saviour Balzan were conspiring together, Chris Cardona was also concluding his deal with the Dragonara Casino over the public land lease, and when the deal was announced, the Nationalist Party remained completely silent over the scandal bar Jason Azzopardi. Adrian Delia, then PN Party leader was threatening his critics in public at the same time that Yorgen Fenech was pressuring Adrian Delia over David Casa.

Yorgen Fenech didn’t just murder a journalist, but he used the press and his power over both political parties to hit back at his critics. Now, Saviour Balzan, the same propagandist who conspired with Yorgen Fenech, is making his alliance with the government and the Labour Party official, indirectly, rewarding and abetting more of the same behaviour in the future.

    […] This investigation was prompted and demanded by the NGO Repubblika after a lengthy struggle in the courts with the government. Most of the work to conduct this legal battle was made by Robert Aquilina, the previous head of the NGO, and Jason Azzopardi who is a previous government minister and currently an activist and a lawyer to the family of Daphne Caruanas Galizia in her murder case. Meanwhile, Robert Aquilina has been the target of constant threats, public incidents of harassment and constant attacks by the Labour Party, while Jason Azzopardi had to endure a defamation campaign of lies against him by Saviour Balzan and up to 439 articles against him by the demented and sick blogger Simon Mercieca. Yorgen Fenech also conspired against him. […]
