Malta: Luga local council demands the removal phallic symbol monument before Pope's visit

Luqa local council has demanded the removal of the 'monument of shame' opposite the Lidl supermarket, before the Pope's visit.

In a statement issued today, Mayor John Schembri said that the council welcomed the fact that Pope Benedict would be going to Luqa. However, he added, "in the opinion of the council, the Pope's first visit among us risks being a source of embarrassment to the people of Luqa and the Maltese in general, due to the obscene 'monument' (seen as a phallic symbol) which is still dominating the 'LIDL' roundabout on one's entry into the village."
