On Monday evening the Labour MP Anton Refalo said in Parliament that the manufacturing of fireworks should be stopped to avoid the repeat of Sunday’s fireworks tragedy in Gharb.
Gozitan lawyer Dr Refalo said that the tragedy on Sunday, which saw the loss of four lives, means that Gozo is experiencing the same sorrow as two years ago when another fireworks factory explosion took the lives of six people.
He said that some youths go to a fireworks factory, just as if they are going to a football match and urged Parliament to help put an end to this practice.
Dr Refalo expressed his sincere condolences to the victims families.
I fully agree with MP Anton Refalo , the sooner you stop this Nonsense Habit, of Fire Factory Works ,the more LIVES . and money you save , .Specially LIVES. If you people keeps this up , the more FUNERALS will attend in the near future ..STOP IT FOR EVER NOW ……………… GOZITAN ……………. FROM MISSISSAUGA ONT CANADA ..
There is no point for me to repeat what other commentators are saying regarding this tragedy. About two years ago I commented about another identical tragedy in Gozo. Accidents and near misses are happening every single year without fail! Shouldn`t the Curia have made a stop to this carnage, I see a similarity with the sexual abuse of children ” SEE NOTHING, SAY NOTHING, HEAR NOTHING” hoping it will go away. Sweep it under the carpet.
And may I ask why this waste of young lives? Who and what did they sacrifice their lives for?? I don`t think that any insurance would cover such risky work ethics and procedures! Fireworks manufacturing, handling and displaying is certainly not a job for amateurs and children. Now will the Curia see to the well being of the deceased`s families. External festivities are not the church`s business is the same B#$@#T I have heard before.
As for the government, the only thing I been told “they don`t want to step on the church`s toes”
To all Maltese and Gozitans. You can take other hobbies other then Village festas and excessive fireworks. Ask your parish priest to do the dirty work.
RIP and sincere condolences to the relevant families

Jjien xejn ma naqbel maghkom ax hadd ma jaqbad lill hadd minn xaghru jw jibghat lill xi hadd ta bilfors fil kmamar tan nar. Kif edin titkellmu intom nistew nwaqqfu s sewqan tal karozzi ukoll ghax jahbtu ukoll u jmutu dan l ahhar messet l qassis zaghzugh li hadd ma jista jghid li kn fis sakra jw abbuza mid droga. Allura ax ma nwaqfux x xoghol ta electrician ax ikun l hin kollu fil periklu jew tal kostruzzjoni. Kiku ghidtu bx ikun hemm aktar regolamenti u aktar spezzjonijiet iva naqbel mma mux li jieqaf kull hadd ikun jaf fejn ikun sejjer u HADD ma jkun mgieghel. Haga ohra apparti l kondoljanzi lill familjari hi li kull min miet fil kmamar tan nar kollha kienu kuntenti jaghmlu l aktar haga li kienu jhobbu jaghmlu. Hadd u nerga nghid HADD ma jista jikkmanda lill hadd imurx jew le.

Spare yourself a few minutes and go through this website

What you mean to say is that anyone can walk in and wander around a construction site, an explosives factory, anywhere anytime. Sorry to say you are a typical stubborn Gozitan, with little or no imagination at all. Yes accidents do happen even with the stringest rules and regulations applied, but you can say “I done my best to prevent them” I have a clear conscience, time to improve the system.The case above was probably a clandestine operation.
Finally all I see in Maltese festas is nothing but gross primitive idolatry, which surpass the Rio Di Janiero karnival.
