President George Abela yesterday night publicly wished former President Guido de Marco a speedy recovery.

Prof. de Marco is currently in hospital recovering from complications he suffered before a scheduled angioplasty was to be carried out.

Dr Abela was speaking at the Ball of the August Moon, organised by the Malta Community Chest Fund, which he hosted at the Verdala Palace in Buskett and which was decorated for the occasion. The ball was attended by some 1,000 people.

The activity included the participation of the Armed Forces of Malta and the police cavalry and their bands. There was also the brass band Versatile.

The next MCCF activity is the Rockestra being held at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali on September 11.

The Labour Party said in a statement earlier today that its leader Joseph Muscat fractured his leg during the ball.
