The public attack launched by Matthew Caruana Galizia on European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is not about Gaza. That’s just camouflage.
The truth is far more personal — and far more bitter. This is about Adrian Delia.
The Betrayal They Never Saw Coming
Daphne Caruana Galizia’s political legacy rested on a singular narrative: Adrian Delia must never be trusted. Her attacks on him were vicious, obsessive, and relentless.
So imagine the shock in Bidnija when Roberta Metsola — the EU’s golden girl and supposed ally of “Daphne’s cause” — began courting Delia behind the scenes and eventually supporting him as a potential PN leader.
In doing so, Metsola sent a clear message to the Caruana Galizia family:
“Daphne was wrong about Delia.”
It was the ultimate insult wrapped in political diplomacy. And the Caruana Galizia camp — built on self-righteousness and eternal victimhood — could not handle the betrayal.
The Fallout: Matthew’s Public Rage
Isolated and bitter, Matthew Caruana Galizia erupted. His supposed outrage over Gaza was little more than a smokescreen for his resentment toward Metsola.
This wasn’t about Palestine.
This was about a personal vendetta, triggered by the realization that Malta’s elite no longer rally around the Caruana Galizia narrative.
Even Manwel Delia, long considered one of their foot soldiers, appears to have drifted away — cosying up to Georg Sapiano while openly ignoring Matthew’s latest tantrum.
Meanwhile, Daphne’s sister recently took to social media to rehash old insults against Delia, doubling down on the family’s view that the man is sleazy, untrustworthy, and unfit for leadership.
But no one’s listening anymore.
The Bitter Truth: The Clique Is Crumbling
The Caruana Galizia family always operated as a clique of moral absolutists. You were either with them — or smeared, shamed, and silenced.
Now, as the world moves on and former allies defect, they’re discovering what it means to be politically irrelevant.
The very people who once echoed Daphne’s words are now quietly walking away — and some, like Roberta Metsola, are rewriting the story entirely.
Conclusion: The War They Can’t Win
Matthew Caruana Galizia’s latest outburst is a symptom of a broader truth:
The Caruana Galizia legacy is no longer sacred.
Roberta Metsola’s support of Delia was a dagger — and Matthew knows it.
This is not about justice. It’s about ego, control, and a family watching their empire of influence collapse in real time.
Let them rage.
The rest of Malta has moved on.
Editor’s Note:
For years, the Caruana Galizia family was untouchable — wielding influence, commanding loyalty, and spinning narratives to suit their agenda.
But that era is ending. And the war now raging between Roberta Metsola and Matthew Caruana Galizia is proof of just how isolated — and desperate — the once-powerful family has become.
