Isabelle Bonnici made a powerful statement yesterday evening when she placed a portrait of her son, Jean Paul Sofia, with candles in front of Castille. Her message was clear: it is time to launch a public inquiry.
Jean Paul died on December 3rd while working at a construction site in Kordin. Isabelle Bonnici and her family are seeking justice and want to know what led to her son’s death. However, they are not only seeking justice for their son. A public inquiry will also make recommendations to amend or introduce new laws to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
Isabelle Bonnici invited the public to join her in placing a candle in front of her son’s picture on Castille’s lawn. Sadly, the tribute was removed overnight, causing outrage among the public. The opposition leader, Dr. Bernard Grech, took to social media to criticize the government, stating that they cannot remain stubborn on this issue. He joined Jean Paul’s mother in calling for a public inquiry.
Despite the setbacks, Isabelle Bonnici remains committed to her cause and thanked the public for their support. She vowed to continue seeking justice for her son until her last breath.
