Almost 7K Signatures In 2 Days For Sofia Public Inquiry Petition

Jul 9 2023

An online petition has been started by Isabelle Sofia Bonnici, the mother of the late Jean Paul, who died after a building collapse in Corradino, with over 6,900 signatures reached as of time of writing.

The petition urges members of parliament in Malta to support the launch of a public inquiry into the death of Jean Paul, after it was announced that a magisterial inquiry will be launched instead.

This call has been made by Sofia’s mother, friends, activists and many of the Opposition’s MPs, with the petition aiming to reach 7,500 signatures.

‘As a mother who lost her only son at Ta’ Kordin Tragedy, I still have questions that only a Public Inquiry will answer. I would like to be able to ask questions and play an active role in the Inquiry. In Malta, it is only through a Public Inquiry that I can do this,’ wrote Isabelle.

The call to action was echoed by various PN MPs, including Jerome Caruana Cilia and Eve Borg Bonello, who continue to mount pressure on the government to open a public inquiry as they question who is ‘being defended’ behind the magisterial inquiry.

If you wish to sign and support, you can find the petition here.
