The Luqa Monument Saga

After the 1st April grandiose joke by Medialink Communications the Saga of the should I stay or should I go Luqa monument began. Today hundreds of journalists that came from all around the world have witnessed another only in Malta episode where a couple of people tried to cover up the 'oxxenita ta' monument' from the eyes of the Holy Father!

When are we going to begin to appreciate art and the freedom of artists who have been struggling to express themselves freely for ages! This monument despite all of its connotations has become a symbol of the struggle against a medieval mentality of a couple of people who have been relentless to try to set up another Vatican State in the middle of the Mediterranean.Let us grow up as a nation, with such incidents we are becoming the laughing stock of Europe!

Apart from this 'Cover the willy' incident I have really enjoyed watching the celebrations which were organized. Well done for the organization committee of these events and to all the people who are participating and giving a warm welcome to our Holy Father!
