Minister for National Heritage, the Arts and Local Councils Owen Bonnici took to social media to reveal that Malta is actively exploring the option of filing a lawsuit in the Swiss courts based on the violation of freedom of expression in regards to the ban on the word ‘Kant.’
The minister explained how every step forward will be taken under protest agains the artistic censorship imposed by the Eurovision Broadcasting Union.
Meanwhile, an internal appeal has also been launched as per festival regulations.
The lawsuit would also concern a breach of the non-discrimination principle, ‘which has been completely disregarded regarding the use of the Maltese language.’
‘I have no doubt that Miriana Conte, her artistic and organisational team, and the Public Broadcasting Services Ltd will give their absolute best to ensure that Malta once again excels in Basel’, concluded the Minister.
‘However, this artistic censorship against us Maltese is disproportionate and discriminatory, and we will not accept it as if nothing happened.’
