‘In that case, the Association may elect not to accept such resignation’ the statement. The statement explained that it would rather be referred to the competent bodies in compliance with its Reputational Risk Management Policy. This is a document which is public and which is endorsed by its Executive Board.

Aidan to take legal action against PBS due to Eurovision disqualification

Jan 26 2023

Singer Aidan Cassar has reportedly asked PBS to freeze a decision taken which disqualified him from participating in the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2023.

PBS received a letter by Cassar’s lawyer, Times of Malta revealed, which asks them to suspend the decision. Legal action would follow suit should they refuse the decision, the letter reportedly states.

The singer has argued that he has been singled out for punishment by PBS as other contestants had also published social media posts promoting their entries.

He also claimed that he was never given an opportunity to defend himself and still has not received an explanation about the specific reasons for which he was disqualified.

The singer is being represented by lawyers Franco Debono, Marion Camilleri and Charles Mercieca.

According to competition rules, singers are banned from posting about their entry from the quarter final stage onwards. PBS stated that Cassar was repeatedly warned that he was not to do so but the singer reportedly ignored the warnings and published multiple posts.
