To me it seems it needs to be someone qualified in leadership skills…

“No they are run by people that know the business” – You have hit the nail on the head. So why not someone qualified and with a proven record in culture?

[Daphne – That’s not enough. You need to have good managerial and organisational skills too, and know what’s what.]

Why not Robert Musumeci then.

He now signs off as perit and nutar. It will only be a matter of time when he’d be also avukat.

Given that well-ordered societies are regulated by laws, shouldn’t everything be run by lawyers? Heqq, Jozef, mhux hekk?

I give up.

Clearly, they’ve lost all meaning of those words.

And that “boring” seems to say a lot about what Labourites want: not change for the better, but change for the sake of it, even if it obviously going all in the wrong direction (wrong by the standards of the other Malta, Europe and a good part of the world, at least).

[Daphne – Dear God. Are business corporations run by lawyers because there are plenty of “legal intricacies involved behind the foreign elements”? No. They are run by people who know the business and those people engage lawyers when their advice is needed, and pay for it. Law and legal intricacies are not the primary business of the Valletta 2018 foundation. David Felice wasn’t chosen for either role because he is an architect. Many architects are complete Philistines, uncivilised, and nobody with whom you could even have a proper conversation. Many have no aesthetic sense whatsoever, have never a read that is not the equivalent of Alex Ferguson’s autobiography, and know nothing about art and next to nothing about history and current events.]
