- The Institute of Maltese Journalists (IGM) have threatened to withdraw support from Malta’s government-backed media reform over claims it does not do enough to protect journalists and was not subject to public consultation.
- The government ignored offers from international media organisations to offer technical support and assistance with implementing changes, and the speed at which the committee and laws have been completed has also been widely criticised.
- With the anniversary of Caruana Galizia’s death looming, preparations are underway for commemorative events, but nothing is on the agenda for the ruling party apart from a political event at a small town headquarters.
