Fehmiet u Għarfien is a new book by Alfred Sant that is being published in a limited edition under the Quinque imprint.

Fehmiet u Għarfien (Opinions and Appreciations) is a collection of essays and articles in English and Maltese, written by Dr Sant during his 10 years as a Maltese member of the European Parliament from 2014 to 2024. Many of the topics relate to European and Maltese issues that were salient in those years, some very controversial.

Among the essays that focus on the Maltese situation, one features a discussion regarding how the country's institutions need to be modernised in order to be able to manage correctly the governance challenges that they face. Another essay reviews whether Gozo has lost the specific characteristics that in the past made it a different place from Malta.

A section of the book covers Dr Sant's recall of Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici and Eddie Fenech Adami and the assessment he makes of their record. The back cover of Opinions and Appreciations warns that "readers will not agree with all that this book has to say".

Fehmiet u Għarfien carries on with the series of books Dr Sant has published over the years that deal with contemporary affairs in Malta and abroad. The last in line were the three books Malta and the euro, which analysed the 2008-2012 euro crisis and its after effects, not least on Malta. Although they dealt with subjects, which can hardly be considered popular, they are no longer in stock.

Fehmiet u Għarfien is on sale from the Quinque website and from leading booksellers for €15.
