A petition was launched called #JUSTICEFORKANT to support the word ‘KANT’ in Malta’s Eurovision 2025 entry.
‘We, the people of Malta and all supporters from other countries , call on the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to respect the Maltese language and allow the use of the word Kant in Malta’s Eurovision 2025 entry’, the description reads.
The petition explains how the word ‘Kant’ simply means singing and originates from the Latin word ‘cantus’, which ‘has influenced many European languages.’
‘It is a fundamental part of our linguistic and cultural heritage. However, despite its innocent meaning, the EBU has reportedly censured the word due to its phonetic similarity to an offensive term in English.’
‘This decision is not only unfair but also disregards the linguistic diversity that Eurovision is meant to celebrate. Censoring kant implies that the Maltese language must be altered to cater to non-Maltese speakers interpretations, setting a dangerous precedent for all minority languages in the contest.’
So far, 277 verified signatures have been inputted in support. Would you sign this petition?
