Former Labour MP Silvio
Parnis passes away at 57
NICOLE MEILAK
SILVIO Parnis, who in the past served as
parliamentary secretary for active ageing
and persons with disability, has died at
the age of 57.
Parnis served as Paola mayor and was
first elected in parliament in 1998. He
did not contest the last election after
he was left out of a Cabinet reshuffle
in 2020.
Parnis had been battling cancer for
quite some time, but his health took a
turn for the worse towards the end of
the year.
Tributes immediately poured in for
Parnis after his death was announced.
The Labour Party celebrated his mem-
ory and described him as someone
"who always practiced the values of
social justice and helping the less for-
tunate".
