People were seen waiting today in front of polling stations in the capital Valletta for the Maltese general election.
Local media say that Prime Minister Robert Abela is expected to take another term in the small Mediterranean country, still shocked by the mafia murder of a well-known investigative journalist.
Sources also speak of voter apathy after a lukewarm campaign and opinion dominated by fears of war.
Despite the trumpeting of the media, the ruling Labor Party is still tainted by deep corruption and the murder of journalist Dafne Galizia, with a car bomb that shocked the world in 2017.
Investigations last year revealed that former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had created a “culture of impunity” against government collaborators and allies.
Muscat resigned in January 2020 following public protests against the protection of allies being investigated into the journalist’s death.
His successor Abela has said he will strengthen governance and press freedom but Galicia activists and family members say investigations have failed.
