The European Democrat Students (EDS) have expressed their support towards the initiative of 45 journalists from 18 different international media houses, to continue investigating corruption and money laundering cases first revealed by assassinated Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.
"In view of the latest revelations relating a Maltese Cabinet Minister with one of the alleged murderers, as well as the publication of money trail from Azerbaijan and energy projects to bank accounts linked with another Maltese Cabinet Minister and the Maltese Prime Minister's Chief of Staff, EDS is expecting an appropriate reaction from the Maltese Government, which has not taken action so far."
"EDS is also expressing its support to the Maltese people in their quest to having the rule of law respected, and independent institutions fully functioning without any political interference. Maltese youth want to live in a truly European democratic country. EDS notes the efforts made by the European Parliament throughout the past months, through representations of its President, Antonio Tajani, various resolutions, votes and also the launch of the Malta rule of law delegation. This is another example through which the European institutions are seen as the shield of the European citizens."
"It is in this light, that we strongly urge other European institutions to ensure that the rule of law is functioning in all EU Member States, including Malta."
