“Absolutely inexcusable”- MEP David Casa

“Coordinated attack based on fabrications driven by those seeking to prevent me from doing my work” 

Statement from Partit Nazzjonalista’s Head of Delegation in the European Parliament David Casa

"I am not shocked by today’s revelations concerning who really wrote “whistleblower” letters. It has been clear that, particularly following my work on the leaked FIAU report calling for police action against Konrad Mizzi, I have been a target. But this level of collusion, deceit and fabrication of “news” is unprecedented and completely inexcusable.

This revelation is not an isolated case. It has further exposed the systemic targeting of government critics by supposedly independent media acting on orders from Castille. It is outrageous.

This continuous tirade of fabricated nonsense is not investigative journalism. I have worked tirelessly for the protection of investigative journalism. I will continue to be committed to this cause now more than ever. Our country needs professional journalists who search for truth. I know that the majority of Maltese journalists are such, and encourage them to continue to be unwavering in holding power to account."
