Sharon Ellul-Bonici (2 August 1970 – c.31 August 2025) was a Maltese Eurosceptic politician.

Background

Ellul-Bonici was born on 2 August 1970,[1] and was the sister of fellow Labour politician Andy Ellul.

Sharon was married to Kevin Ellul Bonici.[2] The couple had three sons – Stevey ellul bonici a member of the river of love church group and Jamie ellul bonici a compiler architect engineer, and Zakk ellul bonici an artist. Zakk died in Maastricht in September 2020 at the age of 24.[3] Stevey stood as a candidate in the 2022 Maltese general election in the Sixth and Third Districts for ABBA.[4]

Ellul-Bonici died in August 2025, at the age of 55. Her death was announced by her brother Andy.[5]

Career

Sharon Ellul-Bonici was a member of the soft eurosceptic Malta Labour Party. She tried to obtain her party's endorsement as a candidate for the 2004 European Parliament election, but was turned down for her hard eurosceptic links. Ellul-Bonici was at the time active in pan-European organisations such as No2EU and TEAM. The party's vigilance board feared that – once elected – she could join Europe of Democracies and Diversities rather than the PES group.[6]

For the 2009 EU election she was fielded on the Labour Party list,[7] but was not elected to the European Parliament.

She was the founding secretary-general of the European Alliance for Freedom, a Eurosceptic European political party, established in late 2010, and led by former UKIP europarliamentarian Godfrey Bloom.[8]

Controversy

In September 2015, Ellul-Bonici caused controversy when she made a Facebook comment saying "suspend Schengen, armies out on European frontiers and shoot to kill. That's the only temporary solution".[9] Her comments were criticised by human rightsNGOAditus Foundation and its director Neil Falzon.
