Times of Malta<\/em><\/a> staqsewh dwar il-plier tal-mili ta’ \u017cmien ir-Re\u0121ina Vittorja li kien tqa\u010b\u010bat minn fejn kien jinsab u spi\u010b\u010ba fil-\u0121nien privat tieg\u0127u biex b’hekk ikun jista’ joqg\u0127od jammirah waqt li jkun qed i\u010baf\u010baf fil-pixxina tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\nParti mir-ra\u0121uni l-g\u0127ala Anton Refalo qed jibqa’ jg\u0127addiha lixxa hi li bosta huma dawk li ma japprezzawx mill-ewwel is-sinjifikat storiku tal-plier li huwa seraq. Dan wie\u0127ed jasal biex jifhmu. G\u0127alkemm forsi g\u0127andu jing\u0127ad ukoll li Anton Refalo stess tant japprezzah li \u0127atfu g\u0127alih.<\/p>\n
Jidher madankollu li l-apprezzament ta’ Refalo g\u0127andu l-limitu tieg\u0127u. L-iskop wara t-tqeg\u0127id fi triq ta’ plier tal-mili hu sabiex jimmarka l-kejl ta’ mil jew ta’ distanza fi\u017cika minn lok g\u0127al ie\u0127or b\u0127alma hu, ng\u0127idu a\u0127na, belt kapitali jew inkella l-iskop spe\u010bifiku ta’ lokalit\u00e0 spe\u010bifika jew il-lokalit\u00e0 ta’ min hi. Dan ifisser li plier tal-mili m’g\u0127andu qatt jinqala’ minn postu u, meta jinqala’, l-valur tieg\u0127u jonqos drastikament.<\/p>\n
Ironikament Anton Refalo jridha ta’ xi dilettant ta’ \u0127wejje\u0121 stori\u010bi u\u00a0 f’mo\u0127\u0127u \u010bertament jipprova ji\u0121\u0121ustifika l-\u0127tif li g\u0127amel tal-plier li qed nid\u0127addtu dwaru. I\u017cda \u0127mar kien, u \u0127mar baqa’. Dan mhux biss seraq o\u0121\u0121ett storiku, i\u017cda qalg\u0127u minn postu u \u0127assar il-memorja storika ta’ o\u0121\u0121ett li postu ma seta’ qatt ikun band’o\u0127ra.<\/p>\n
Dan il-plier tal-mili ma nafx minn fejn inqala’ u nissuspetta li g\u0127ad nisimg\u0127u li dan inqala’ minn xi post imwarrab jew minn post fejn illum hemm xi triq wiesg\u0127a. Nissuspetta li l-isku\u017ca li ser i\u0121ib Anton Refalo hi li l-plier tal-mili salvah g\u0127all-posterit\u00e0. Sku\u017ca mill-aktar banali.<\/p>\n
Dan l-imbierek ta’ Anton Refalo ming\u0127alih li kull darba li jipprova ja\u0127rab milli jwie\u0121eb il-mistoqsijiet tal-\u0121urnalisti jkun qed i\u0121ib ru\u0127u fl-interess tal-\u0121ustizzja. Kemm hu ba\u0127nan! Dan ming\u0127alih li, g\u0127ax hu avukat, jista’ jag\u0127mel li jrid u li jfettillu.<\/p>\n
L-interessi tal-\u0121ustizzja \u010bertament ma jservihomx meta jonqos milli jwie\u0121eb mistoqsija dwar kif plier tal-mili spi\u010b\u010ba fil-\u0121nien tieg\u0127u – o\u0121\u0121ett li bla dubju mhuwiex u qatt ma kien tieg\u0127u u li postu mhuwiex f’daru. Ikun fl-interess tal-\u0121ustizzja biss meta o\u0121\u0121ett misruq jintradd lura.<\/p>\n
Fit-titlu ta’ din il-kitba semmejt lil Caravaggio b’mod sarkastiku g\u0127al \u017cew\u0121 ra\u0121unijiet. L-ewwel: xi snin ilu kienet insterqet pittura tal-Caravaggio mill-Kon-Katidtral ta’ San \u0120wann. It-tieni: bosta huma dawk li japprezzaw il-valur storiku ta’ pittura stil barokk g\u0127aliex jifhmu li l-valur tieg\u0127u huwa wie\u0127ed imprezzabbli (f’termini monetarji) jew g\u0127aliex ikun jidhrilhom li, min\u0127abba l-isfond reli\u0121ju\u017c, o\u0121\u0121ett ikollu aktar importanza milli qatt jista’ jkollu plier tal-mili.<\/p>\n
Jekk xi darba tonqos mill-Kon Katridral ta’ San \u0120wann pittura tal-Caravaggio u jkun hemm xi proxxmu li din il-pittura jilma\u0127ha mdendla fis-salott tieg\u0127i – kif il-plier tal-mili misruq intlema\u0127 mill-ajru fil-\u0121nien ta’ Anton Refalo – ibqg\u0127u \u010berti li mhux ser jg\u0127iduli biex il-pittura nibqa’ n\u017commha fis-salott tieg\u0127i sakemm jintemm il-kors tal-\u0121ustizzja.<\/p>\n
Bla dubju l-pittura je\u0127duhieli dak il-\u0127in stess, jer\u0121g\u0127u iqeg\u0127duha f’postha u jinbeda l-pro\u010bess biex ji\u0121i stabilit jekk kont jien li sraqtha u x’kastig g\u0127andi naqla’ kemm-il darba ninstab \u0127ati. U dan jg\u0127odd anki jekk jien m’jiniex ministru tal-gvern responsabbli g\u0127all-wirt storiku nazzjonali b’dmir ewlieni li n\u0127ares il-li\u0121ijiet tal-pajji\u017c.<\/p>\n
U bil-plier tal-mili fil-\u0121nien tieg\u0127u, Anton Refalo mhux biss mhuwiex jikkopera mal-kors tal-\u0121ustizzja. Qieg\u0127ed jag\u0127mel il-bsaten fir-roti u jisfidaha. Baqa’ j\u017comm g\u0127andu o\u0121\u0121ett misruq bi tbissima fuq fommu.\u00a0 Dan, g\u0127al \u0121ie\u0127na, ministru tal-gvern li kien responsabbli fl-img\u0127oddi g\u0127all-wirt storiku u li jinsab fid-dmir li j\u0127ares il-li\u0121ijiet tal-pajji\u017c.<\/p>\n
Dan l-imbierek kif g\u0127adu ministru u kif g\u0127adha ma ddabbritlux rasu?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
