Dom Mintoff mobbed by well-wishers
Former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff makes a surprise visit during a Regional Committee dinner at the Tokk in Rabat, Gozo.
Former Labour leader Dom Mintoff surprised attendees during an activity organised by the Gozo Regional Committee, as he turned up at the event unannounced.
Sister newspaper Illum reports how after talking and taking photos with the attendees, Mintoff asked for eye surgeon Dr Franco Mercieca who had carried out a cataract operation both his eyes. Mercieca - who wasn't present at the time - made it to the gathering after several phone calls informing him that the former Prime Minister was insisting to see him.
Mintoff – who is currently in Gozo for a short break – reportedly took the opportunity to ask Mercieca for a medical appointment.
