Questions Begging to be answered

From Ms G. Borg

There are questions I would like to ask on behalf of young artists. Why are we being ignored? We need to know how the jury voted and the weight of televoting in the Junior Eurovision. Everybody will keep on asking why? Don't we have a right to know? Rumour has it that televoting is 10 per cent, 15 per cent, 60 per cent?

The only reply to my previous note from PBS was totally ignored by the board. I would like to state that PBS is not only responsible for transmitting the festival but everything else that has to do with it. PBS is a member of EBU, the organisers of Eurovision Festival.

Edward Montebello and Quinton Scerri organisers for Junior Live Festival also promised to make public the names of the jury members of the finals but nothing has happened.

These are people exploiting our young artists. People are even charging for auditioning. This is unacceptable.

Authorities please take note.
