Current PM Robert Abela also shared a few words, stating that he loved Malta as he loved its workers and will remain an example for many. Meanwhile, Nationalist Party and Opposition leader Bernard Grech called the former PM “a person who worked with strength and determination for that which he believed in.”

Amongst other notable moments in his political career, KMB, as he was widely known, also served as Minister of Employment and Social Services and Minister of Education.
