His destructive antics are proven wrong time and time again. Yet the Nationalist Party continues to publicly embrace and shelter him, willing to risk its credibility and political standing by continuing its association with a figure increasingly defined by controversy and dishonesty. Former Nationalist MP and Repubblika lawyer Jason Azzopardi has once again found himself at the centre of serious controversy after being found guilty of contempt of court. The conviction arose following an incident where Azzopardi secretly filmed Prime Minister...

Darren Carabott falsely claimed that Maltese soldiers were involved in training Ukrainian troops. As if it were not enough to attempt to imprison members of the Maltese Armed Forces (AFM), the Nationalist Party (PN) continues its efforts to tarnish the reputation of the AFM and its soldiers. Yesterday, during a session in Parliament, PN MP Darren Carabott resorted...

The Court's decision shows how critical it is to uphold justice and integrity in legal proceedings, rather than using them as a tool for political attack. It couldn't be more evident that the only aim of the Nationalist Party and Repubblika in these instances is not to seek justice, but rather to tarnish the reputations of individuals for political gain. The Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Neville Camilleri, has dismissed the appeal presented by lawyer and ex PN deputy Jason Azzopardi, representing Repubblika, seeking an investigation against Minister Silvio Schembri. This decision follows a similar ruling...

Jason Azzopardi’s opposition to the proposed reform on Magisterial Inquiries, which seeks to impose clear timelines, suggests that he wishes for an inquiry concerning him to fade into obscurity. The introduction of time limits, which would ensure that no inquiry remains unresolved indefinitely, threatens to disrupt this. Former Nationalist MP Jason Azzopardi became a central figure in the discourse surrounding the reform of magisterial inquiries. Paradoxically, he is also the subject of a magisterial inquiry that could shed light on actions during his tenure as Parliamentary Secretary...

How can they justify supporting the perpetuation of a system that opens the doors for baseless allegations to derail someone’s life or career? Is the PN so blinded by their political agenda that they are willing to sacrifice fairness in the name of partisan interests? The actions of the Nationalist Party in recent days have demonstrated a staggering disregard for justice. The party, led by Bernard Grech, has taken an utterly irrational stance against the judicial reform regarding magisterial inquiries, which now requires concrete...

Azzopardi had made serious allegations of money laundering and corruption against Vella, but his claims were found to be baseless and unsupported by any substantial evidence. In yet another legal blow to Jason Azzopardi, the Court of Magistrates, led by Magistrate Philip Galea Farrugia, dismissed his request for an inquiry into Robert Vella, the Chief Executive Officer of the Lands Authority. Azzopardi had made serious allegations of money...

The €9 million figure that Jason Azzopardi is citing in the Gozo Pool project only refers to one tender of the project: the construction tender. This is being misrepresented by Azzopardi in an attempt to create the false impression of financial wrongdoing. Clint Camilleri, the Minister for Gozo, has strongly condemned the repeated attempts by former Nationalist Deputy and Repubblika lawyer Jason Azzopardi to undermine his reputation. Camilleri responded to Azzopardi’s third call for an inquiry into his actions, accusing...

The public, quite rightfully, expects politicians to act responsibly and to speak with caution, particularly when making accusations that could damage reputations and influence public opinion. Azzopardi has shown a disturbing disregard for these expectations. His actions breed mistrust, fuel political division, and diminish the credibility of the political process itself. Jason Azzopardi has once again showcased his alarming irresponsibility and lack of political maturity. Before we delve into his latest embarassment, let’s keep in mind his excessive obsession with magisterial inquiries, often using them to throw shade on...

Jason Azzopardi’s career offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of political figures who prioritise their own interests over the public good, and who maintain a public image that is at odds with their actions behind the scenes. Jason Azzopardi has long been the subject of controversy. His involvement in a new scandal perfectly exemplifies the contradiction between his public stance as an advocate for justice and the dubious decisions he made while in power. Azzopardi’s double-faced...

Filming inside the law courts without consent is not a minor oversight. It is a serious breach that can result in arrest, expulsion, or a fine: consequences that Jason Azzopardi probably knew he was inviting. Does he care? All we know is he definitely thrives in the spotlight. Jason Azzopardi is not a helpless figure, but a lawyer well-versed in the intricacies of the law. As a former MP and a seasoned legal professional, Azzopardi knows the boundaries of what is permissible and what is not in the courtroom. Azzopardi’s arrest came after he...

Jason Azzopardi is inventing an opportunity to target Malta's nominee, just as he did before Glenn Micallef’s European Commission nomination. Jason Azzopardi, acting on behalf of the political group Repubblika, has lodged a legal complaint against several individuals, including Glenn Micallef, the European Commissioner nominee for Malta. Micallef, who has just successfully passed intense scrutiny during his...
