Anne Applebaum: The subtler ways democracy can fail

For the first time since she was murdered by a car bomb six months ago, members of Daphne Caruana Galizia’s family have spoken publicly about the circumstances that led to her death. Caruana Galizia was a Maltese journalist who wrote about corruption and money laundering in a country that had turned a blind eye to it.

She was also reporting on a country that has undergone tumultuous change.
