"He was what Malta needed" | Eddie Fenech Adami

“He was what Malta needed”

The name Eddie Fenech Adami brings back many memories of when I was in my teens. Those were bad times to say the least, but Eddie was there to show us the way and lead us forward, always keeping in mind peace, justice and freedom. As my late father used to say, he was what Malta needed. Today’s generation only have him to thank for the good quality of life they experience nowadays. There are no words that can express my gratitude and admiration towards this great man.

Eddie Fenech Adami is one of Malta's most influential statesman whose contribution led to the development of a democratic state based on the respect of fundamental human rights and civil liberties which were regularly abused prior to his election as Prime Minister in 1987.

A Nationalist Party (P.N.) politician, Eddie served as Prime Minister of Malta from 1987 until 1996, and again from 1998 until 2004. He led his party to win five general elections, in 1981, 1987, 1992, 1998 and 2003. Staunchly pro-European, he led the country to join the European Union in 2004 after having won a national referendum. Fenech Adami is the longest serving Maltese Prime Minister since Malta's independence in 1964.

This historical web archive presently seeks to document a number of political meetings addressed by Eddie Fenech Adami in the run-up to the crucial 1987 general election.
