Disinformation Watch: A man of many opinions
1 month ago
As soon as he was appointed Minister for Justice, Equality and Governance, Edward Zammit Lewis, hit – metaphorically speaking, of course – the ground running. 2020 proved to be a demanding year for him, given that he was tasked with implementing the Venice Commission’s recommendations on the rule of law reforms in Malta.
And as luck would have it, the public is able to keep up with the minister’s industriousness over the past year thanks to his numerous contributions in different media outlets in which he repeatedly writes about his ministry’s progress and achievements. What is striking about these articles is not only their frequency but also what is left out of them.
Rule of Law, IIEA Event, 2 February 2021
I would like to thank the IIEA for the invitation to join this event and indeed for the work you have done in bringing it together in these challenging times.
The Institute has done an excellent job in adapting to the circumstances and I know that a huge amount of work goes on behind the scenes to bring these events together.
I would also like to thank Minister Varga for joining us to expand on Hungary’s position on the rule of law.
The pandemic has given us many challenges. Among the less serious but still important is the reduced frequency of our in-person engagements.
