May I make a suggestion towards solving the present impasse regarding the national and public holidays issue.

I believe that having five national days is carrying it a bit too far and many still remember how this was arrived at in that historic compromise.

Leaving untouched all religious feasts for obvious reasons, I would suggest a general consensus to axe once and for all June 7, Freedom Day and L-Imnarja, retaining Republic Day and Independence Day as national days.

Is this asking too much?
