Alessandra Dee Crespo

Alessandra Dee Crespo has a background in theology, as she was the first woman and first person ever to graduate from the university course normally read by men who prepare for the priesthood, and is therefore accustomed to questioning the system. On Monday 16th October 2017, she realised that an even larger system had killed a journalist and was trying to make us forget about it. She immediately joined #occupyjustice in the same month and also joined Repubblika as it was formed in January 2019. She was subsequently elected to its Executive Committee in October 2019. One year later, she was voted as Vice-President of the Organisation and shall put in the nomination for the post of President of the Organisation in March 2023. She curated the installation book Justice for Daphne is Justice for Our right to know which was shortlisted for the National Book Prize, and edited The Third Siege of Malta by Manuel Delia. She also writes for The Times of Malta and sometimes blogs for Truth Be Told.
