Taking to social media, Chucky Bartolo asked why the Maltese are so quick to please foreign critics of our local art – in this case, Miriana Conte’s Eurovision song KANT.
‘Is the series LOKI a comedy for us just becasue there’s a character named LOKI that means toilet in Maltese’, asked Chucky.
@chuckybartolo Serving: DON’T 🚫 Cc: @mirianaconte endless love to you for the unnecessary wrinkles and white hair speaking your language may have caused 🤷♂️ #malta #eurovision #mirianaconte #kant
‘Are we the only ones who are able there are more than one language? There could be a word in, say, Russian, that can sound bad. But we know there are people who speak languages that don’t know Maltese.’
‘Why are we the ones to put effort?’
He said that if BBC are unable to recognise languages other than theirs, then it’s up to them not to play KANT.
He encouraged people to look up the Streisand effect – which is an effect that leads to people putting more attention on things that are being hidden or censored.
Chucky concluded by saying that if the Maltese are still too concerned about the word, we can say ‘Inservu Kant’.
