The Story of Daphne Caruana Galizia
By Gattaldo
The life of this heroic woman journalist is an inspiration for people of all ages.
Daphne had a happy childhood on the island of Malta. A lover of books, she always wanted to become a journalist. As a teenager, she joined in peaceful protests about the way her country was being mis-managed. Daphne’s news stories uncovered organised crime and political corruption on an international scale. Her enemies tried to stop her in every way they could, but she refused to give up.
Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed by a car bomb on 16 October 2017. If her enemies thought that would be the end of her story, they were wrong. Her battle for honesty and justice in public life has become a vibrant example for everyone who believes in the rule of law and the victory of truth over concealment and lies.
