I refer to my letter – ‘Labour Party and Golden Jubilee of independence’ (October 9, 2011) – and to a reply by the then director of communications of the Labour Party, Kurt Farrugia – ‘Labour and independence’ (October 23, 2011).

I had expressed my doubts as to how Labour, which was then on the Opposition benches, would celebrate Malta’s 50th anniversary of independence if and when it was elected to government.

Three odd years on and it has now transpired, after the many unforgettable events which took place during the last few days, that Labour has truly kept its word.

A big thanks to all concerned, especially PBS, which rose to the occasion meritoriously.
