Jum l-Independenza, Independence Day, is a national holiday for Malta, Republic since 1964.
The celebration takes place on September 21 and to commemorate the independence of the Maltese nation from the United Kingdom, which took place in 1964.
The Maltese politician George Borġ Olivier was the father of Independence. With him and the enlightened politicians of the time, Malta experienced a long period of economic development in the post-independence period. It is now a full part of the European Community.
Malta became an independent Republic on December 13, 1974, is the Jum ir-Repubblika, which is commemorated in a separate holiday.
March 31, 1979 is then Freedom Day, and remembers the episode in which the British closed their naval base in Malta. It was then full and total independence.
Those who want to understand the long history of Malta’s independence cannot fail to remember the struggle for independence and the defense of sovereignty that began centuries before, especially with the figure of the eponymous hero of Malta Jean de la Valette, protagonist of the siege of Malta, in 1565, against the invading Turks.
Long live Malta.
