Dominic MintoffKUOM (Maltese: Duminku Mintoff, [dʊmˈɪnkumˈɪntɒff]; often called il-Perit, "the Architect"; 18 August 1916 – 20 August 2012)[1] was a Maltese socialist politician, architect, and civil engineer who was leader of the Labour Party from 1949 to 1984, and was 8th Prime Minister of Malta from 1955 to 1958, when Malta was still a British colony, and again, following independence, from 1971 to 1984.[2] His tenure as Prime Minister saw the creation of a comprehensive welfare state, nationalisation of large corporations, a substantial increase in the general standard of living and the establishment of the Maltese republic,[3][4][5] but was later on marred by a stagnant economy, a rise in authoritarianism and outbreaks of political violence.[6][7][8][9]

Dom Mintoff

Domenico Mintoff, KUOM (Maltese: Duminku Mintoff; often called il-Perit, "the Architect"; 6 August 1916 – 20 August 2012)[1] was a Maltese Socialist politician, architect, and engineer. He was leader of the Labour Party from 1949 to 1984, and was 8th Prime Minister of Malta from 1955 to 1958 and from 1971 to 1984.[2]

His tenure as Prime Minister has been seen with mixed views because he helped create better living conditions of the Maltese people[3][4][5] but saw a rise in authoritarianism and political violence.[6][7][8]

Mintoff was taken to hospital on 18 July 2012.[9] He was later discharged on 4 August and spent his 96th birthday at home in Tarxien.[10][11] He died there sixteen days later on 20 August 2012.[12]
