No ministers, no politicians, no lobbies or special interest groups. Literally every relevant stakeholder was involved.
I was forced out of the government system after my success in government enabled me to take a strong position with the National Book Council following the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Everything went downhill since then.
