Former Labour MP Silvio Parnis, has passed away at the age of 57.
In a statement, the Labour Party paid tribute the memory of Silvio Parnis, saying that in a career of service to the public, both as a broadcaster and as a politician, Silvio Parnis always ensured that he put into practice the values of social justice and helping the less fortunate.
For five legislatures he represented the constituents of the fourth electoral district in Parliament, having earlier served as Mayor of the same locality. Silvio Parnis also served in the Cabinet of Ministers.
The PL said that, “Silvio Parnis remains known as a good-hearted politician who always stayed close to the people.”
“The Labour Party sends its condolences to his family and those closest to him,” it said.
The Nationalist Party in a statement, also paid tribute to Silvio Parnis, saying that “throughout his political career, Parnis always worked in his own way in favour of social justice and in favour of those most in need.”
The PN concluded by saying that “his work was appreciated by the electorate who, election after election, trusted him.”
In 2009 he travelled all the way to Peru to see and witness what was Extreme poverty. He told me that he had never expected or ever seen such poverty. He helped me buy educational material to the children and he wanted to build an old people’s home but it was very difficult. I personally pay him tribute for his kindness and will never forget him
