I started celebrating Christmas after 1991.

Back in the 80s, Mum and Dad always worried themselves sick about our future.

Now I worry about my kids.

Franco Debono is neither a Mintoffian nor a Nazzjonalist. Franco Debono is for Franco Debono.

I can still hear the echo of Mintoff calling a member of the opposition ‘ahdar, ahdar’ as if it is being said today. That was the Christmas spirit during Mintoff’s time.
