The acting leader of the Labour Party, Charles Mangion, insisted this evening that people must not be sidelined because of their political views.
Speaking at a ceremony at Castille Place to mark the 87th anniversary of the death of Manwel Dimech, Dr Mangion said Dimech had battled for freedom of expression and freedom of thought. Those rights had been achieved, and people should not now be sidelined for exercising them.
A small society such as Malta’s needed to make use of all the talents available to it, Dr Mangion added.
Furthermore, no one should be denied his rights.
He also recalled the importance which Manwel Dimech gave to education and said that education was even more important now,
He praised Dimech for having shown a new light for Malta’s political and social progress.
Dr Mangion laid flowers at the foot of the Manwel Dimech monument, followed by deputy leader Michael Falzon and the party’s sections.
