No journalist, editor or independent media house is lobbying the government to introduce “constitutional protections” for journalists. This gimmick is being promoted by the pseudo-consultative committee with Robert Abela’s personal allies and propagandists including Carmen Sammut and Saviour Balzan. The main material and actual reform that the government is proposing, is to actually restrict the free press in publishing “private details” on any individual.
Now, Prime Minister Robert Abela is openly promoting restrictions on journalists and the press under the guise of “obligations”. So, basically, the Prime Minister will introduce the gimmicky constitutional amendments to have an excuse to in turn introduce “obligations” that basically, include a ban on the press on publishing “private details” of any individual.
This is Robert Abela’s dirty campaign to muzzle the press. We should accept none of it.
