Watch: Vella described as 'a man of integrity'

A man of integrity who will rise to the challenge and make Malta proud was the overwhelming sentiment among those who gathered to see George Vella's appointment to the presidency. Scores of people gathered in St George's Square in Valletta to follow the swearing in ceremony on the big screen and get a glimpse of President Vella saluting those present from the Palace's Balcony. Times of Malta spoke to some members of the crowd, many of whom were either his constituents or former patients.
