Yesterday morning Foreign Affairs minister Ian Borg and Prime Minister Robert Abela announced on Facebook the passing of Lorenzo Vella, the head of the European Commission Representation in Malta.
Vella was a father of two children. He was 43-years-old. So young with a life ahead of him.
Ian Borg said “Vella suffered a lot before dying at such a young age.”
Besides being Permanent Representative of Malta to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, “he also served as chief of staff to former health minister Chris Fearne during the COVID pandemic.”
This site sends sincere condolences to his family and children at this extremely difficult time. Words fail to describe the sadness I feel to read and hear about all those deaths, especially in young adults.
On a post I came across on Facebook, Mr Vella is described as an incredible gentleman who always put the interests and wellbeing of those around him before his own.
Times of Malta’s sentence was and I quote:
“Lorenzo Vella, the head of the European Commission Representation in Malta has died aged 43 following a short illness.”
Quite a typical statement which is being used from all mainstream media worldwide when healthy individuals get terminally ill suddenly and die shortly after.
Can Times of Malta specify what this kind of short illness entailed and if Mr Vella was vaccinated with the Covid-19 vaccine which the minister of whom he was chief of staff had mandated “for your wellbeing and those of others”?
