The chairman of Valletta 2018 doesn’t understand that the project has involved all local councils from the start
Jason Micallef with his idea of fine arts
The insufferably stupid Jason Micallef – so stupid and poorly educated that he doesn’t even know he’s stupid (yes, there are some people with that spectacular lack of self-awareness) – has pronounced himself on the subject of New Year’s Eve celebrations in the capital.
Valletta and Floriana, he said, will this year hold separate New Year’s Eve celebrations despite the years-long practice of holding a single big bash and cooperating on it.
Micallef gave as his reason the fact that the Valletta celebrations will be organised by the V18 foundation which he was so irresponsibly allowed to pole-vault himself into and take over because he has the prime minister by the short-and-curlies.
He is doing this, Micallef said, together with the Valletta Local Council, giving this as the reason why Floriana can’t be included.
The man is a know-nothing. Valletta 2018 has from the start been built on involvement with all of Malta’s local councils and the whole of the island. The European Capital of Culture does not involve only the actual capital but its surrounding area, and in the case of Valletta, with Malta being so tiny, the surrounding area was taken to mean the entire island.
And now here comes that besuited cabbage – a horticultural reference he might appreciate – Jason Micallef, putting up territorial walls around ‘his’ project and refusing to cooperate with Floriana even on the celebration of the New Year.
The man is going to be catastrophic for Valletta 2018.

Leave him alone. He’s the nearest thing we have to a stand-up.
How boring if it were a professional in charge.
Guess what it meant when he mentioned value for money.
Hopefully PN will be back in government in 2018. And we’ll see the back of the current Valletta 2018 chairman.
Mela issa the parking available in Floriana should be kept reserved for those going to Floriana NYE 14! What a joke. Instead on organising a national harbour celebration we want to force people to the city.
Who knows what is behind this? From a business point of view it pays to promote the city. There are more restaurants, bars and cafeterias to gain.
Maybe Jason Micallef’s after the ego trip of getting free coffees whenever he walks through Valletta.
The previous chairman would have never suggested this.
Does Jason Micallef not know that the erection of walls in Europe fell out of fashion with the demolition of the Berlin Wall. He must be taking after the Israelis and is as obnoxious about the Florianites as they are about the Palestinians.
I am so worried that with this idiot, Valletta 18 is going to be a flop. How embarrassed we are going to be.
Try back in government in 2013
Go back to your gardening, Jason.
