The Executive Director of Public Radiodifusion Services of Malta, Keith Chetcuti, has described today as an act of censorship and a discrimination against the Maltese language the request of the UE to the delegation to eliminate the word Kant of the proposal that Miriana Conte will defend in Basel 2025.

Chetcuti has advanced that Maltese PBS television is in conversations with the UU to defend the original version of the song. In his words, “we feel that this is censorship and total discrimination to the Maltese language, because it is the only word in Maltés that has been censored.”

PBS now evaluates options to make minimum changes that allow the participation of the subject without altering the essence of the song. Maltese television has until March 10 to present a final version of the theme that meets the regulations of the festival or reach an agreement with the UER.
