Prime Minister Joseph Muscat paid tribute to Sir Ugo Mifsud

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat paid tribute to Sir Ugo Mifsud on the occasion of the 128 anniversary of the former politician. In 1926 after the merger between the UPM and Dr. Enrico Mizzi's PDN, Sir Ugo became co-leader with Dr. Mizzi of the newly formed Partito Nazionalista. Sir Ugo’s political career came to an abrupt halt in February 1942 when, as the Council of Government was debating the British Government’s intention to deport several Maltese nationals, Sir Ugo suffered a heart attack as he was delivering a stirring and impassionate speech against the Colonial Office’s intensions. Two days later he passed away. ​
