The Sette Giugno monument is to be temporarily placed at Hastings Garden in Valletta until it is incorporated in the new Parliament building project, the government announced today.

It said that maintenance work on the monument was carried out in the past few weeks while site preparation at Hastings starts tomorrow.

The work will be completed by June 7, when the events of June 7, 1919 are recalled.

The monument was removed from Palace square when that square was rehabilitated.
