Deep dives
Malta's history and political system
Paul Carranikalitsia's book explores the history of Malta and its political system, shedding light on a concept called moral familiism. This concept describes a social structure in which family bonds are stronger than loyalty to the rule of law or democracy. In such a system, the family becomes more important than the state, leading to implications for governance and weakening of state institutions. This context is crucial to understanding the issues that Paul's mother, Daphne Carranikalitsia, reported on as an investigative journalist, particularly regarding corruption and kleptocracy in Malta.
