Abela said that that was a moment where he could have explained things better and where all the ‘legal nuances’ should not have intruded into a much more personal and human matter.

He went on to say that he remained in contact with Jean Paul Sofia’s parents and that the episode continued to strengthen one of his values – empathy.

‘You need to always put yourself in someone else’s shoes – especially when there’s suffering. And what worse suffering is there than losing your child’, the Prime Minister concluded.

Jean Paul Sofia died tragically at the age of 20 years old in 2022 when a construction site collapsed at the Corradino Industrial Estate.
