NGOs condemn Malta's SLAPP legislation for lacking coverage in domestic cases.

NGOs, including the Daphne Foundation, criticize Malta's anti-SLAPP legislation for not covering domestic cases, only meeting minimum EU requirements. They call for a comprehensive approach, including amendments, awareness-raising, and support for those targeted by abusive lawsuits. Malta has a high number of SLAPP cases in Europe, and the recent legislation is seen as a limited response compared to Ireland's approach.
