## Transcript

It was a very positive meeting. There was a lot of dialogue, there was a lot of good dialogue and good constructive conversations with everybody between the cardinals, the archbishops and between all the survivors. And so but at the same time we told them that it is important that things happen, and that there's radical change. I thought the meeting was very productive and that the The four organizers were quite receptive to what we had to say. In my case in particular, I presented the letter to the Archbishop Scicluna about how he could he make transparency be effective. And much to my delight, he was very, very Very receptive to my message.

They know better but they are not doing better. And I don't know where the hold up is because we asked. What's the problem? What is the problem what is the holding up in implementing zero tolerance? Like tell us we are here. Nobody. It's like we already have the law We just need to implement the laws. Obviously the laws aren't working because children are being raped right now. So what's the problem?
