Photos, testimonies, and growing unease from Qala residents challenge the public narrative.
This is Valerie Cassar Meila, a Nationalist Party councillor in Qala, Gozo.
Publicly, she parades herself as a defender of the Rule of Law, one of the self-styled moral crusaders of the Defnisti clique. A champion of legality, order, and righteousness. At least, that’s the image she wants you to swallow.
But reality has a way of intruding.
As I already pointed out earlier today, this self-declared guardian of the Rule of Law appears to have a peculiar definition of it. One that conveniently bends when it suits her. Even more telling, she seems perfectly comfortable glorifying Daphne Caruana Galizia, the queen of hatred, as a hero.
Since this morning, several residents of Qala have contacted me directly. What they are reporting paints a very different picture.
From the information and photographic evidence I am receiving, it appears that Valerie Cassar Meilaq does not truly believe in the Rule of Law at all. What she seems to believe in is her own private version of it: a Kingdom of Law, where rules are selective, principles are elastic, and accountability applies only to others.
This is not an isolated whisper. It is a growing chorus from people who live there and see what is happening on the ground.
More details will follow in the next article.
