Labour plans balcony at headquarters for Joseph Muscat's election party
The Labour Party has officially applied to construct a balcony on the second floor of the party headquarters in Hamrun.
Labour has applied to construct a balcony on the second floor of its headquarters in Hamrun from where its leader Joseph Muscat will be able to salute supporters if he wins the next general election. The party plans to get the balcony completed by February 2011.
The application was presented by party president Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi and architect and Labour MP Charles Buhagiar.
The proposed alterations on the facade will the first renovation of Labour’s Hamrun headquarters since 1994 when it was build to replace the party’s former base in Macina in Bormla. This represented one of Sant’s first steps to modernise his party and broaden its appeal from its traditional boiler suit constituency. But the Hamrun headquarters in many ways reflected Sant’s managerial approach to politics lacking the human touch of a balcony from where the leader can communicate with the crowd.
