Editorial: More to democracy than just voting
The safety of journalists is of paramount importance without whom we would lose a crucial component in the democratic functioning of the institution of our democracy
PEN Malta firmly supports the call to safeguard a healthy democratic culture, as highlighted in today’s Times of Malta editorial. Democracy is about fostering a culture where informed debate, accountability and the protection of fundamental freedoms thrive.
