history

Dom Mintoff (1974)

In the House of Representatives elections of December 12, 1981, the Partit Nazzjonalista (PN) under its new chairman Eddie Fenech Adami was ahead of the PL Mintoffs with 114,132 votes, which accounted for 109,990 votes. Due to the right to vote, the Partit Laburista received 34 seats, while the Partit Nazzjonalista received 31 seats.

In 1981 the first seawater desalination plant in the country was put into operation at Ghar Lapsi on the southwest coast near the temple complexes of Mnajdra , thus reducing the chronic water shortage. Due to the success of the facility, others soon followed, for example on the north coast of Gozo at Reqqe Point. In a treaty ratified on March 11, 1983, Italy assured Malta of neutrality, and on June 29 of the same year the Mintoff government expropriated all church property on the islands. On September 3, 1983, Mintoff formed his fifth cabinet .
