Partit Nazzjonalista To Go Ahead With Independence Events

Sep 16 2024

Karl Gouder’s family expressed their wish for the Partit Nazzjonalista to proceed with the planned events for the 60th anniversary of Independence, which will also serve to honor Karl’s memory.

During a press conference this morning, PN General Secretary Michael Piccinino revealed that while the party initially considered canceling the events following Karl’s passing, his family urged them to continue with the commemorations, especially since Karl had been actively involved in organizing the celebrations.

Piccinino added that it would have certainly been Karl’s desire for the work to carry on. This year’s PN Independence activities, themed ‘il quddiem (Going Forward), will reflect that vision.

Partit Nazzjonalista’s Executive Secretary, Stefan Caruana, announced that the activities will kick off on Wednesday, 18th September, with a discussion at Pjazza Tritoni, starting at 7:30 pm.

After the discussion, an evening event will be held to honor Karl Gouder’s memory, featuring performances by several local singers.

A children’s zone and a cycling activity will also be organized, reflecting Karl’s passion for sports and his dedication to promoting such spaces.

On Thursday, 19th September, at Pjazza Tritoni, Times of Malta journalist Mark Laurence Zammit will interview PN Leader Bernard Grech. This will be followed by a variety show on the main stage.

The project will create areas for community activities, including a picnic area, basketball court, and a reservoir for irrigation. Modern lighting, CCTV for safety, and photovoltaic panels will also be installed, while existing trees will be preserved and new ones planted.

Accessibility improvements include the addition of a pelican crossing and maintenance of on-site parking. Farrugia also visited the restoration work on the De Rohan Arch, funded through an agreement with 54 local councils.
