@Brent Condorato Apparently, she was killed trying to expose the truth. Did you ever see that 1970s French language film "I as in Icarus"? It is loosely based on the Warren Commission's investigation into the Kennedy assassination. In the film, a commission is convened in order to investigate the assassination of the president of a fictional country. One member of the commission (brilliantly played by the late French actor Yves Montand) refuses to accept the Commission's conclusion that a lone gunman acted alone and starts his own investigation into the matter. He calls his investigation Icarus. But as he gets closer to the truth, he is murdered. The significance of the name Icarus is later revealed. As with the mythical Icarus - who flew too close to the sun and got burned - whoever gets too close to the truth will get burned as well because in the Icarus myth, the sun represents the truth. This is what happened to this journalist so IMO she is also a hero.

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

@Brent Condorato The fact is Brent, and you even admitted it yourself, she was killed because of what she was saying. And in the end that's all that matters.

It is utter nonsense that this documentary is biased from such an opposition perspective. Why didn’t you ask the normal civilians living in Malta? Yes, there are some cases of corruption like any other country after-all (Anna Maria Gomez is implicated for corruption for example) but the Maltese are economically stable and can afford certain luxuries that never afforded before! It's totally unprofessional to treat Malta as a 2nd class country while having the highest level of economic increase in Europe for the past 3 years. Utterly disgusted

[@paulcamilleri2134]

I disagree that this is a protester's (PN) view. After the protesters uproar, members of Cabinet (most notably Minister of Education - Evarist Bartolo) have spoken against the filth and corruption that has been going on so evidently in Castille.

[@paulcamilleri2134]

Is it a coincidence that both candidates for JM's position (Abela & Fearne) do NOT want Konrad Mizzi in Cabinet? I don't think so. Open your eyes mate.

[@brandonfranciscaruana3355]

@@paulcamilleri2134 I never said that there isn't corruption but it isn't entirely fair that all the good that provided by this government is to be put at stake. May I remind you that Malta is quite familiar to such protests like from 2014-2017, yet the vast majority of the island still voted for this government. May I also remind you that the most notably Mr. Evarist Bartolo has faced certain allegations of corruption regarding our education, and as a student I was on the front line protesting against such allegations. But over emphasising the same allegations over and over will only ruin my and our future generations opportunities overseas. My only pledge is to solve this problem within our own country and not ruin our reputation overseas. Yet Mr. Camilieri I appreciate you taking your time to answer me with such a valid response from your perspective. Good Day.
