The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation has expressed strong objections to Glenn Bedingfield's appointment as home affairs minister, citing the public inquiry into the journalist's murder. The inquiry report identified Bedingfield, while in the Office of the Prime Minister, as a central figure in a campaign to dehumanize and delegitimize Caruana Galizia's journalism, primarily through social media and a dedicated blog he led. The foundation criticized the government's broader failure to implement the inquiry's recommendations since the report's 2021 publication, alleging stonewalling of collaborative reform efforts. This appointment, they stated, casts doubt on the government's commitment to addressing the climate of impunity that the inquiry concluded facilitated Caruana Galizia's October 2017 assassination.
