aka Eurovision Song Contest
Not that I’ll be watching, but 😂
[Let the hate flow]
Apparently the show’s broadcasters will not allow President Zelenksy to address viewers. The organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), say it would “breach its political impartiality” standards.
In 2022 European Broadcasting Union initially said it would allow Russia to enter and then 24 hours later banned the Russian entrants from singing on the show, but they allowed the Ukrainian entrants to sing. Ukraine went on to win with what was a blatant political sympathy mass vote.
Some dodgy principles on display there.
