Maltese PM Joseph Muscat to resign in January following pressure for the truth about the 2017 car bombing that killed a journalist
In a televised message, Muscat said he has informed Malta’s president that he will quit as leader of the governing Labor Party on January 12 and that"in the days after I will resign as prime minister."
Hours earlier, thousands of Maltese protested outside a courthouse in the capital, Valletta, demanding that he step down. The prime minister insisted that he will see to it that “justice is for everyone,’’ and said the investigation is still ongoing. The slain reporter had written extensively about suspected corruption in political and business circles on the European Union nation, which is a financial haven for many investors.Caruana Galizia was the subject of lawsuits by some of her subjects, including in government. While many celebrated her as an anti-corruption champion, some on the island whose dealings she exposed scorned her work.
