The executive director of the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts, Davinia Galea, has been asked to step down by the Parliamentary Secretariat for Culture.

Ms Galea, who had been at the helm of the MCCA for the last six years, had an indefinite contract. She had restructured the MCCA, been credited with upgrading the Malta Arts Festival and had been crucial in leading the process for the drafting of the cultural policy. 

The sudden decision left Ms Galea very upset. She told Times of Malta last night: “I was on an indefinite contract but I’ve been asked not to stay”.

The 48-year-old pianist was asked to take on another position but she turned it down “for several reasons”.
