Caruana Galizia’s Teenage Niece: ‘At School, I Was Told l Should Have Been Blown Up Too’
Daphne Caruana Galizia’s teenage niece told a crowd of thousands that people at her school have said she should have been blown up just as her aunt was.
“The past two years have been a blur of people abusing me, of being verbally abused in the street and of being told at school that it would be better if someone put a bomb under my seat too,” Amy Mallia said. “This is what our normal has become. What our family goes through daily shouldn’t be normal but Malta isn’t a normal country or else a journalist wouldn’t have been killed by a car bomb.”
Amy said she remembers exactly where she was when she found out her aunt had been murdered two years ago.
“I was in a lesson at school and I was asked what I’d like to be in the future,” she said. “I said I wanted to be a journalist and then went home to find out my aunt had been murdered. It was almost as though I knew something had happened to her.”
