Civil Society network asks for V18 Chairman to resign after posting an offensive post

Civil Society Network are calling for the resignation of Valletta 18 Chairman Jason Micallef after posting a comment on social media about slain journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.  

Last Saturday, Micallef posted a picture of the crowds that gathered in St Julain's  to celebrate St Patrick's Day and in a twist of the last words written by the journalist herself, Micallef wrote: "St Patrick's Day in Malta. The situation is desperate. There is happy people everywhere you look."

The V18 chairman in the same post attacked activists' freedom of speech by suggesting that they should be stopped from protests.

CSN said Mr Micallef's 'divisive and insensitive attitude' was not worthy of the state official heading the European Capital City of Culture. Mr Micallef should therefore resign.
