Updated - Mintoff condition 'critical'
Mater Dei Hospital said this afternoon that Dom Mintoff, who was admitted to hospital late this morning, is in critical condition.
"He has been diagnosed to suffer from a severe chest infection and heart failure. His condition has been described as critical by the medical team responsible for his care," the hospital said.
The former Prime Minister and Labour leader, 95, was admitted to hospital several times last year as he became increasingly frail. He now spends much of his time in a wheelchair.

Do you people know the meaning of respect to fellow humans, regardless of what they did or didn't do?
No one ever taught you that when you have nothing good to say about someone who is not in the best of situations; it's better to just zip it and not say nothing at all?

No Mr. Sacco, did not have all the power, time and popularity to turn Malta into a Socialist State. The people did not want it. We nearly did turn into some kind of North Korea. You seem that you watch only ONE TV. Have you ever heard about Greece and its Socialist policies of Prime Minister Papandreou? Have you ever heard about Spain and its Socialist policies of Prime Minister Zapatero, once an idol of Joseph Muscat?

@ Joseph Carmel Chetcuti
As to the way he dressed:
Mintoff was his own advisor ie even wardrobe advisor. He created a meticulously managed image to attract the people whom he was trying to defend and to pull out of the abyss of ignorance. But he was far from being 'working class'.
Mintoff combined the simplicity of the workman; the sensitivity, the vision and determination of a Gandhi; and the refiniment of the aristocrasy (let's not forget that he married into nobility). Hard to come by such a combination.
Very few have understood this.
Sandro Galea
Feb 12th, 11:17
It is certainly out-of-order/naive to follow a path of either total adulation or condemnation,especially in the current situation - Mintoff was a once-in-a-generation figure, who did a lot of good to Malta, but who, like other statesmen before and after him, was only human after all.........

I wish the Maltese start putting things into perspective. This man, as controversial as he might have been and as unfortunate as it was to have some bullies around him, took up Malta in its early days so things in that case are always going to be tough. Malta is lucky that it didn't have what places like South Africa experienced - after its rebirth from Apartheid there was extensive bloodshed and crime.

There are more Maltese living overseas then in Malta. Like me, some 160,000 alone live in Australia, with more in the USA and similar numbers in in Canada. Like my family, many left during Mintoff’s regime because of his actions. Like all politicians, Mintoff did some good things for their country but at a cost. He also did a lot of stupid things which made hundreds of thousands of Maltese flee the country during his years in office. I don’t wish harm on anyone, but I will not shed any tears for him either.
ALBERT FENECH
Feb 12th, 08:58
Check your figures Mr Phillips. Facts are based on statistics and not emotional and generic statements. How many Maltese familes fled Malta during the 1960s - and were encouraged to do so by the administrations of the time? Many, many thousands went to Australia, Canada and the USA. One of the problems encountered during the Mintoff administrations from 1971 onwards were RETURNING emigrants, requiring the boosting of providing employment and greater strains on social security. If you don't have these figures please check them out and then publish them in these columns.

Dear Mr Phillips,
You comments are unfair towards the maltese people. Do not blame Mintoff for being a migrant. The Maltese who stayed in Malta have built a formidable country with the good or the bad of Mintoff.
Mr Alex Phillips
Feb 12th, 10:15
Mr. Fenech, My family and I were directly involved in the immigration process through the then Government of Malta. A Government run by Mr. Mintoff. The Government officials told my parents that never before had they processed so many people leaving the island as migrants. This was 1974. If you bothered to check the Cenus at the time you will see that there was stagnent growth in the population for a decade and a half of Mintoff's rule.Now Mr Fenech, unless you were directly involved at the time with a government agency processing those that left like my family, please don't judge someone who was directly affected!
ALBERT FENECH
Feb 12th, 11:24
Mr Phillips, I challenge you to publish the emigration figures from 1960 to 1970. Find them and publish them - otherwise your "facts" are just conjectures and emotional rhetoric.

Mr Alex Phillips
Feb 12th, 13:59
Mr Fenech, do the work yourself! I have nothing to prove, I was THERE and PART OF THE MASS MIGRATION. What were you doing? Look up the Census records, they are there on the web. At the end of the day all I am stating is that for everyone who thought that Mintoff did good for Malta, you will find an equal amount (more if you count all thoses who left Malta because of him) who felt that he did things the wrong way. I do not intend to change anyone's opinion and no one is going to change mine. So this is the last I am bothering to say on this matter.
ALBERT FENECH
Feb 13th, 06:03
Mr Phillips, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Those that can't stand the heat skip school and then blame the headmaster for all their woes. You made sweeping statements (quite paltry really) but failed to back them up by facts and statistics. It reminds me of the little boy who threw stones but then legged it rather than face the consequences. You have failed to back up your rhetorical conjectures because they are mere fantasy. The bulk of Malta's emigration was between 1960 and 1970 and no amount of huffing and puffing will change facts and history.

The plain truth is, a good percentage of the people loved and still love him for the good things he done, a bigger percentage (considering all or most PN supporters, the Church and LP/Alfred Sant followers who will never forgive him for bringing down his own government) probably hate him for the bad things he done . We all know that, however, the fact is, its getting late for get well soon/still have talent to offer kinda wishes and very soon, it will be time for him to rest in peace and become history for all of us.

Without Mintoff, Malta would have been many years backwards. Social services, pension, better education - he brought them about. No he was not perfect - he was old fashioned in many ways but he was a doer and he struggled and succeeded to bring dignity to the average citizen.
He will always be remembered as a savior of Malta who made some mistakes - who doesn't?
God be with him and if he has to go, may he have a peaceful departure and may he be rewarded for what he did for the poor.
Mary Ann Borg
Feb 11th, 22:57
Its useless trying to change history. Mintoff brought Malta to the brink of dictatorship where one could not read Opposition newspapers, one could not attend meetings and even if having a quiet drink at a PN club could cost your life, like it did to Raymond Caruana. Trying to make people forget these things is both criminal and dishonest. Facts speak louder than any amount of text trying to praise Il-Perit. Il-Perit li baqa prim ministru anke meta l-poplu qallu 'Le' fl' 1981 u minflok mar il-Belt u qaghd jghajjar lil Eddie li ma kienx kapaci jmexxi filwaqt li l-Orizzont kient igib lil Eddie f'karikaturi ta' tarbija bil-harqa u l-gazaza f'halqu. Malajr uriekom kemm hu kbir Eddie u l-PN u dan minghajr qatt ma sawwat lil hadd, kisser kazini jew frame-ups u swat fid-deop.

There seems to be an idea that, just because Mintoff is old and sick, we should forgive and forget.
While some like to thank him for patronising handouts, an objective analysis of his political life will show that he did a LOT more harm than good and Malta would have been a better place had he not entered politics.
Shall we let his wrinkles distract us and make us forget his oppression, his authoritarianism and his contempt for democracy and rule of law, to mention just a few of his "qualities"?

You have done so much for your people, your island, you sacrificed power for your beleifs because it was the way forward. You knew no fear, an inspiration to us all, you showed us not to be intimidated by bigger powers. There has been no one as great as you in our political history and no one will ever be as great as you. I am so proud to have listened to your speeches, studied your work and writings, you so inspire me. If you decide to go, safe journey.

Mintoff was the outstanding Maltese politician of the twentieth century. He turned Malta from a theocracy into a modern state. He challenged privilege was enjoyed by the wealthy, the professionals and the priests. Even to this day, many who know very little about Malta still remember Mintoff.
Joe Fenech
Feb 11th, 23:50
Those squalid conservatives tried to portray him as a puppet figure and mocked him... In reality, he was the one that got Malta out of the Dark Ages at a time when the local Church was still selling indulgences, threatening that people who voted Labour would go to hell... Mintoff gave Malta the first glimpse of enlightenment. and shook the culture up. Sadly enough the island had to go back to those Dark Ages in almost 3 decades of a conservative regime led by villagers who were all born, brought up and lived the rest of their life in their little village ! The cherry on the cake was that il-Gahan Malta voted in Gonzi Junior because he was still nostalgic of those Dark Ages.
Mr Joseph Carmel Chetcuti
Feb 12th, 09:21
Politicians with charisma and a degree of eccentricity are few and far between. They are managed and controlled by advisers and media experts. Mintoff was the first people's Prime Minister. The way he dressed said it all. Although neither he nor Agatha Barbara put up with any nonsense. I was lucky to have a photo with him when I was in Bormla and he was attending a meeting I happened to be at.

I see Mintoff from two sides. The side were he created a welfare state and thus lifted the people from poverty. This is a value that we must take care of as something that was inherent in maltese blood (solidarity) got institutionalised. On the other had there is the other side of the coin, and that is the Mintoff I can never agree with. In my opinion he was too socialist....not to say almost communist. In my books this is the base line of everything not the endline. The important thing for him was that people had food, some money and a house....but people who like myself were ambitious suffered under mintoff because they tried to progress to sustain their ambition. Anyway wish him the best of luck to get well soon.

An architect, a politician with principles as strong as iron who constantly practiced the teachings of Christ whilst taking to task those who simply preached Christianity but did little else about it.

It is very sad to hear such news even though the man is in his old age. He was the man for all seasons and who have given our country its own identity and respect in all parts of the world. We need to look at our political history with clear perspective to understand the myth of this great politician in our history. His achievments can only make other leaders to aspire to achieve and look forward. May all true maltese citizens unite in prayer for the man who lived his motto "Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox" not for himself but for the good of our nation. He will leave to mourn his monuments which saw total distruction in the last 20years. With great respect I wish you well but if God thinks otherwise me HE grant you a great place in his Kingdom.

Dear Dom,
You made us live your dream when we were younger and with you we lived ours. We faced the raging storms and climbed the hills with you. You carved a nation out of a rock and gave our people the dignity they had never had before. You taught us how to fight for our rights and and the same time how important it was to fulful our obligations. You showed the way and we could fulfil our aspirations , live our dreams. Under your guidance the nation prospered because we beleived with you that no one was greater than the nation. To quote your own words that remain etched into our souls, " This nation is not for sale, Neither for yellow gold nor for black ". To me , a young tyro in politics at the time, that was your greatest moment -- the patriot who became my hero and who lives as such in me to this day. For you and for us our country always had to come first .For this and for so much more we thank you, we pray for your safety in this moment of difficulty and hang on to that same spirit of hope that you instilled in us. Get well soon Dom. We are as with you and behind you today as we were so many years ago. Nothing will ever change. Stay with us

I agree with Silvio Loporto that Mintoff transformed Malta from a colony to a Nation. He took hard decision when these were neseccary and always told the truth to the people especially about the financial situation of the country. It was a pity that he tarnished his great political career with aParty back to power before he departs and I still hope that will be the case. We all wish him a speedy recovery to live the glorious moment when labour is back to Power.
Francis Saliba M.D.
Feb 11th, 22:38
@ William Massa (11 Feb at 18:55)
Malta ceased to be a colony and it became an independent nation thanks to Dr. George Borg Olivier and the Nationalist Party who adamantly insisted on a quasi-Dominion status within the Commonwealth for Malta , failing which, total Independence. This was at a time when Mintoff was fighting for integration with Great Britain. Mintoff was a late convert to the idea of independence that he adopted only after the British government did not accept the financial bill presented by Mintoff as his price for handing over Malta to be swallowed up within the U.K. It was only then that the MLP did a U-turn and went to the other extreme of shouting "Pay up or go home". Mintoff introduced that slogan as a substitution for his earlier distribution of Union Jack flags to be waved by Malta's schoolchildren.
The first Prime Minister of an independent Malta was Dr. George Borg Olivier and he steered Malta so successfully during his premiership that the British government tried, unsuccessfully, to trim down its financial assistance for the smooth transition from a fortress colony to a civilian type economy.

With great respect, i wish you well Dom Mintoff. We will never see another politician like you. You had an ideal. And a true love for your country. i was only around 16, still studying, and somehow ended up around you. You used to bring your own thermos of coffee from home. :) And despised others who required it done for them. You never wore designer suits or bothered with that stuff. 'Malta l'ewwel u qabel kollox.' (Malta,firstand foremost) your motto. :) And you meant it. And you did it. You believed in the maltese people. We will never have such a true politician. Thank you.

The PN was anti-British and pro-Italian. The PN's stance on independence was merely a device to break away from Britain. It was hardly pro-Maltese. Independence is not gained in one day or by one document. It takes time. Nice to see the PN back to its old tricks, now making Malta subservient yet again to the European Union ... at any cost.
Pauline Abela
Feb 12th, 07:11
@ E Vassallo. You are correct that Mintoff, at one point, wanted us to be part of Britain - ONLY provided that we enjoyed the same privileges as the British. Bad things did happen while Mintoff was in government however, he also made a huge positive contribution to Malta. He was patriotic and he did improve significantly the lot of the common men.
Mr Joseph Carmel Chetcuti

All governments make mistakes. Mintoff had many hurdles to jump over and many opponents working against him. That he survived for so long is amazing.

I am writing as the son of a father who was brought up with MIntoff in Bormla by MIntoffs' family as my natural grandmother had died. So I am a Mintoffian from birth at heart and soul. Now 51 years later I can safely look back and say thank you to this great man. He literally pull us all Maltese up from the hairs to be able to do and be whatever we are today.
Certainly mistakes have been made. How can a man who has done so much for all us not commit a wrong or two or more. However, putting everything on balance history will be on Doms' side. His great achievements far outweigh whatever wrongs were committed by him, or by others or by pitfalls left by others.
At this stage I only wish the man who was almost my uncle a speedy recovery hopefully and if this old warrior will not make it a speedy and painless way to wherever he will be taken.

il fejqan ta malajr Mintoff min qalb il Maltin
William Massa
Feb 11th, 18:26
I agree with Silvio Loporto that Mintoff transformed Malta from a colony to a Nation. He took hard decision when these were neseccary and always told the truth to the people especially about the financial situation of the country. It was a pity that he tarnished his great political career with aParty back to power before he departs and I still hope that will be the case. We all wish him a speedy recovery to live the glorious moment when labour is back to Power.

THE GREAT MAN for whom MALTA truly was FIRST & FOREMOST. He lived without the public entrappings that most of our so-called leaders or representatives now dream, crave and live for. He could have made himself a President of the Republic he created,but chose not to.Others were not so prudent. The latter lived by the motto: I & MINE FIRST...............................................and somewhere......................ah yes...............MALTA. DOM MINTOFF = MALTA`s finest hour despite all odds. Whatever one says or writes, IL-HNIZRIJIET li qedghin isieru issa jghamly lil MINTOFF personalita` tabilhaqq ta` kredibilita` assoluta - Min jista` jafda lill-Politici tallum? - HADD ghaliex kollha fi CRIEKI TAC-CRIEKI FI CRIEKI.

Oil and gas are at the highest prices ever. So the Govt has no other choice but to increase the price we pay for energy. We have even heard that these high prices would decrease consumption.
These measure are considered as austerity measures,and maybe it is rightly so.
On the other hand we critisize Mintoff for the austerity measures he had to take,when he literally found the country's finances in such a mess,he had to beg other countries to even pay the salaries.
How come those measures were bad in those days and they are not to-day?
Mintoff will be judged by history,as the man who managed to make a nation out of a colony,maybe some of the methods were a bit unorthodox, but difficult times call for hard decisions.

Raymond Sacco
Feb 12th, 07:43
Mr. Vassallo, if Mintoff wanted to turn Malta into an extremist Socialist state, he had all the power, time and popularity to do so. So the fact that our country did not turn into some North Korea was only because Mintoff did not want to! As for his Socialist policy, all you have to do is look around you, at our modern capitalist world and see the mess created by the banks and mega companies which the average class citizens are being made to pay with their blood and sweat! a modern world where the world's economies work for the banks' and mega companies' excessive greed instead of the other way round! a world where the only countries still striving profitably is where these financial vultures are controlled by the state like China!
Joseph N. Attard
Feb 11th, 17:40
A message to those who never sided with Mr Mintoff. I myself have never agreed with his policies and a lot of his doings. BUT. It is unchristian, uncharitative and ungentelmanly to dwell on these at this moment. We should all respect a Maltese stateman who did what he thought was right for Malta, whether we agree with his methods or not. Those who suffered should remember that forgiveness is the door to healing.

Joseph, hatred was sowed by others because they did not accept the concept of eroding the upper class way back in the 40`s, 50`s and 60`s. Mintoff widened the MIDDLE class, a class that was too small for Malta up to late 1960`s. The Church sowed hatred and others took advantage of it to retain power in the 60`s. The Interdett was given to him and the Labour supporters and it was not Mintoff who asked for it. He introduced major changes in Malta and these changes found great opposition because the conservatives ( PN ) did not like them. He was a gentlemen because in 1987 he changed the Constitution so that the Party who obtain the majority of votes will govern....doi you find a leader who does this thing to renounce POWER....???
Mr Joseph Carmel Chetcuti
Feb 12th, 01:29
For the record, I (as a young boy) was frightened to death that Mintoff would turn Malta into a communist country. That is what priests told us. I spent hours praying in churches across Valletta, hoping that Mintoff will not win government. I joined iz-ZHN and sold il-Haddiem at the entrance to Valletta, hoping my father never caught sight of me. When I joined the MUSEUM, I was well aware of Il-Gunta and the many attempts of those who called themselves Christian to stop the MLP from being re-elected. I now know better. PN revisionists will now tells us of their trials and tribulations as they say they experienced. What about the trials of the rest of Malta before Mintoff was elected?

The person to instill wisdom to the untaught.
The person go gave workers a future to look for.
The person who battled the worst enemy he could have at his time (the Church).
The person who turned a country from the ashes of war to a bright future.
The person who managed to raise the peoples expectations away from making the end of the week.
The person who like many before failed only in one respect, no being able to see that the world around was changing and thus needed to change things accordingly granting more freedoms.
A person who at the end was the ultimate failure of his own successes.

Mintoff never fought the Church, nor its teachings. He fought its corrupt elements, ideas and ambitions.
Listen or read some of his speeches during Religious-Political war of the 1960's and point out where he fought the ideals rather than the corruption of them.
The end loser was not Mintoff. The end loser was the Church and no one can deny that. Thankfully, we still have people around who can still describe the atrocities of that time, committed under the disguise of religious beliefs or divine inspiration.
Mr Adrian Zahra
Feb 12th, 09:25
Mintoff Fought the institutional church.
For sure Mintoff did not fight the Roman Catholic Religion.
When his governemt gave free healthcare, education, leave, basic pay and he instilled back human dignity he was a much better catholic than much of us and those back then .
I no where stated that Mintoff fought the Religion. I see the religion and the church as two totally distinct things and one does not imply the other. THanks
