The mother of former Prime Minister Alfred Sant, Josephine Sant nee Borg, passed away today, aged 96.
Mrs Sant was never a person who wanted to be in the public eye, and the most memorable moment in her public life was her participation at an activity in January 2008 when Dr Sant, at the time Labour Party leader, returned to political activity after hospital treatment.
The Malta Independent expresses its sorrow and offers its condolences to Dr Sant, now an MEP and a bi-weekly columnist on www.independent.com.mt , and his family.
In a statement, the Labour Party said that Mrs Sant was a woman with sound values and exemplary. The PL expressed its sorrow at her passing away.
The Nationalist Party and Speaker Anglu Farrugia also expressed their condolences to the family of Dr Sant.
