Quitting Eurovision
From doteurovision, Grace Borg quits Maltese Eurovision team:
Grace Borg, the chair of the Maltasong board has resigned, blaming excessive interference by government officials. “I cannot continue working in an atmosphere where every single decision is vetted by the minister and everything is controlled by his representative,” Borg said yesterday. She had worked for several years with the board responsible for organising the ‘Song for Europe’ and Junior Eurovision entries for Malta..Eurobites - gossip and rumours about Eurovision; EurovisionMalta
Ms Borg said she had sent her resignation letter to the minister and to the Prime Minister last Tuesday but she failed to understand why the minister chose to announce it on Sunday, when she was overseas. Asked if she would reconsider her decision to resign, Ms Borg said that unless the minister’s representative resigned, she would not withdraw her resignation.

I cannot understand why Grace Borg resigned. She was the BEST and with her on the top of the board I was expecting that the Festival come to Malta because she has shown dignity adn she was very strong. I really admire her and want her to be where she was. Shame on the ministry representative.
It's a shame on the Minister Buuuuuuuuuu!!
