Lorry Sant had a giraffe.

Call it extravagant.

Actually the President was the late Censu Tabone.

Lorry Sant has a big – if not huge – monument in Casal Paola, known in Maltese as Ir-Rahal il-Gdid – The New Village.

Yes, I’d forgotten that. If he’d died within the last five years the statue would have been organised and paid for by the government, and placed in Castile Square.

Lou Bondi used to feel threatened and write about Ronnie Pellegrini. Now both are having their iced buns from the PL government:

It was Paul Xuereb, who was acting president during the last years of the Mintoffian regime under prime minister KMB and stayed on for a while under the Nationalist government.

Reconciliation does work, it’s only that it was never carried out as it should have, resulting in its failure.

Reconciliation should dovetail with justice being done and being seen to be done, even if it is to the detriment of the parties responsible for conflict and everything Labour caused. A spade needs to be called a spade and guilty parties exposed for what they are.

Unfortunately, moving straight from a situation of conflict to ‘national reconciliation’ has allowed the myth that the perpetrators of the ‘Golden Years’ were in the right to survive among their families and supporters.

Malta had an acting president at the time, Paul Xuereb.

Baxxter, further to your comment above, we do have a life-size bronze statue of Lorry Sant. It’s in a public square in Paola. It was organised by Ronnie Pellegrini, his henchman and now director of Malta Freeport.
