“A citizen who was only guilty of waking up in the morning and going to work”, Borg Bonello described Sofia, who tragically lost his life at age 20 after a multi-storey building collapsed while he was working.

Borg Bonello went on to highlight a misdirection of justice, highlighting how a youth erecting a banner calling for justice for Jean Paul, was arrested on orders of the Police Commissioner.

Beyond the Parliament’s walls, a national front calling for a public inquiry into the tragedy is being held, with Jean Paul’s mother Isabelle Bonnici supported by various organisations across Malta.

In the meantime, Bonnici has set up a change.org petition titled ‘Petition to Members of Parliament to support a Public Inquiry on the death of Jean Paul‘, so if you want to support the cause make sure you sign.
