I think I have overlooked this aspect when presenting my evidence against Rosianne Cutajar in her libel case, where basically, I argued that Rosianne Cutajar was bribed by Yorgen Fenech to defend him in both Parliament and the Council of Europe. Here is a clip below of Rosianne Cutajar describing Daphne Caruana Galizia as a “hate machine” a year after she was murdered and during the same time she was in contact with Yorgen Fenech.
Now, Prime Minister Robert Abela wants her back with the Labour Party as he rolls out the same old script Labour used against Daphne Caruana Galizia. This script, typical of an authoritarian regime, suggests that journalists are hateful and cruel people, while government ministers are portrayed as good individuals doing a commendable job, regardless of their actions.
By wanting her back in Parliament, Robert Abela’s chief propagandist, Aleander Balzan, knows very well what he is doing because he was the same person who used to script the Labour Party’s campaign against Daphne Caruana Galizia and other journalists. Alexander Balzan and Robert Abela know that by successfully pressuring the Labour Parliamentary Group to readmit her, the Labour Party is delegitimizing the press and reinforcing the idea that the courts, the press, and state institutions are always wrong and ineffective when it comes to the Labour Party. Robert Abela has the final say on justice, public opinion, state institutions, and ultimately truth itself. It’s a strategic move that ultimately serves his interests.
In addition, since mentioning the delegitimisation of the press, it is also good to mention that every media outlet reported my reaction to Rosianne Cutajar’s announcement that she is retiring her libel case except for the public broadcaster, ONE, MaltaToday and Illum – the last two both owned by Saviour Balzan.
