The President and Mrs Fenech Adami yesterday met the victims of the March 12 fireworks explosion during an official two-day visit Naxxar, which came to an end yesterday.

The fact that the local council has opened a bank account to help the blast victims and the donations made by the public, show the sense of solidarity the Naxxar community and the Maltese in general possess, Dr Fenech Adami said.

The President and Mrs Fenech Adami met members of the community on the parish church parvis enjoying coffee and pastizzi. They also met representatives of various NGOs, artist Luciano Micallef, one of the few remaining blacksmiths, Michael Scerri known as Mikiel Il-Mużan, and Joe Spiteri, 88, a former Minister of Works and Housing.
