The Nationalist Party in a statement today marked the 28th anniversary of the demise of its former leader and Prime Minister George Borg Olivier.
It praised Dr Borg Olivier for having achieved Independence for Malta and for having always seen that landmark event as being only the beginning of major development for Malta, which included major infrastructural works, investment in manufacturing industry and tourism.
The attainment of Independence and Dr Borg Olivier’s subsequent governments has made the Maltese people confident in their abilities and led to job creation despite the rundown of the services.
Dr Borg Olivier would also be remembered for his honesty and integrity as a politician, the party said.
