Julie Zahra, the opposition party's minister of culture, said in a Facebook post on Friday that Grech had been 'humiliated' by Scott and should step down from his position. She then urged the film industry to also focus on local talent, saying the industry 'deserves much better.'
Adrian Delia, another member of Malta's parliament, tagged Scott in a separate Facebook post. Delia said Scott had achieved worldwide fame...
