‘Karmenu – Il-verita’ xejn anqas mill-verita’ (The truth, nothing but the truth) is a book with 24 recollections on the involvement of Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, a Maltese YCW leader who became prime minister, writes Professor Yosanne Vella.
Greatly influenced by Joseph Cardijn, Mifsud Bonnici studied in London, which led to a trade union careerr with the General Workers Union (GWU) from the late 1960s.
He became a leading figure in the Labour Party and succeeded Dom Mintoff as prime minister from 1984-87.
The book also narrates his contribution as Opposition Leader between 1987 and 1992; his respect towards former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff and his relationship with former Prime Minister Eddie Fenech Adami since their law studies in 1955.
