CNN —The Eurovision Song Contest is a glittery and eccentric spectacle that rivals the Super Bowl for its attraction to audiences. When combined with the jury vote, Israel’s impressive public vote tally saw Golan finish in fifth place overall. Despite this, the EBU has always insisted that Eurovision is an apolitical music competition between broadcasters, rather than a political competition between governments. The 2023 contest in Liverpool was a moving display of unity — so much that Liverpool’s slogan, “United By Music,” was adopted by Eurovision for all future contests. On Saturday, there was very little sense that Eurovision was “united by music.” Some fans boycotted, while others mobilized online to vote for Israel.

Malmo CNN —The Eurovision Song Contest was thrown into fresh turmoil Saturday when organizers disqualified the Dutch entrant hours before the grand final for a backstage incident involving a female crew member. “Swedish police have investigated a complaint made by a female member of the production crew after an incident following his performance in Thursday night’s Semi Final. While the legal process takes its course, it would not be appropriate for him to continue in the Contest,” the EBU said. The EBU said the disqualification of Klein did not involve any other performer or member another country’s delegation. Tensions brew in Malmo ahead of finalThe alleged incident involving Klein happened on Thursday evening after the second semi-final, the EBU said.

CNN —Switzerland’s Nemo won a chaotic and politically fraught Eurovision Song Contest, triumphing in a competition in Sweden that was upstaged by controversy over the presence of Israel. But organizers the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) sharply defended Israel’s presence, and insisted the contest is non-political – a line that became increasingly untenable as artists, broadcasters and fans clashed over the presence of Israel’s singer Eden Golan. Ultimately a competitor was disqualified, just hours before the event – the Dutch contestant Joost Klein, who was kicked out of the final after an “incident” backstage. Ireland’s Bambie Thug told CNN in the build-up to the event that it was “the wrong decision” not to exclude Israel, as Russia had been two years ago. But for all the celebratory scenes that closed the show, the EBU will be relieved to see a rocky week conclude.

But this year, “the presence of Israel has become such a big issue (that) I think it’s going to overshadow the event,” he said. And they are leading perhaps the tensest three minutes in the contest’s history, when Israel’s competitor, Eden Golan, performs live. It doesn’t make sense,” Bambie Thug, Ireland’s participant, told CNN of extensive rules restricting any form of pro-Palestinian statement during the event. Ireland's Bambie Thug told CNN they disagreed with Israel's involvement in the competition. Long-standing rules preventing flags of non-competing countries and territories mean that Palestinian flags are banned from the crowd, which Bambie Thug told CNN they “100%” disagreed with.

The competition – which tries desperately to retain its “apolitical” tag – has become the largest cultural event so far to be rocked by the repercussions of Israel’s war in Gaza. Those protesting or boycotting the song contest claim it is “artwashing” the conflict; others defend Israel’s inclusion, insisting the contest should not be dragged into geopolitics.

BRUSSELS, June 21 (Reuters) - EU countries on Wednesday agreed to draft media rules aimed at safeguarding editorial independence, prompting publishers to complain that governments did not do enough to boost consolidation so media companies could compete with Big Tech. EU countries and EU lawmakers are due to negotiate the act with the commission in the coming months before it can become final legislation. EU countries met on Wednesday to agree a common position. Trade body News Media Europe criticised this stand, saying it did not facilitate mergers and acquisitions that would help media outlets compete against big technology companies. "We see dangerous loopholes that refer to national security, which can put journalists and their sources at risk," the EBU said in a statement.

"The Eurovision Song Contest is an international entertainment show and governed by strict rules and principles which have been established since its creation. "We believe that this is the best way to reflect and celebrate Ukraine's Eurovision Song Contest win and show we are united by music during these hard times," the broadcasting union said, according to AP.

LONDON, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Viewers from countries not participating in the Eurovision Song Contest will be able to cast a vote for their favourite act next year for the first time in the competition's history, the organiser said on Tuesday. Viewers will be able to vote via a secure online platform, and a full list of eligible countries will be published nearer the time of the event, usually held in May. The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest will be held in the northern English city of Liverpool on behalf of this year's winners Ukraine. The grand final results will still be decided by a combination of votes by viewers and juries.

European Broadcasting Union (EBU) a anunţat că a suspendat televiziunea de stat şi de radio din Belarus - Belteleradio (BRTC), scrie Broad Band TV News. Motivul suspendării este legat de difuzarea unor interviuri în mod forţat şi care ar fi în favoarea actualului preşedinte - Aleksandr Lukaşenko. EBU a analizat emisiunile, ştirile şi interviurile BRTC din ultima perioadă şi a luat decizia de a suspenda postul public. BRTC va avea două săptămâni la dispoziţie pentru a oferi un răspuns în cazul acestei suspendări, scrie paginademedia.ro. Având în vedere aceste nereguli, consiliul executiv nu are altă alternativă decât să propună suspendarea calităţii de membru al EBU pentru BTRC”, au transmis cei de la EBU.

Европейский вещательный союз (EBU) приостановил членство Белтелерадиокомпании из-за того, что госканалы транслировали видео, на которых задержанные давали «признательные» показания. В союзе сообщили, что обеспокоены распространением белорусским телевидением видео, на которых задержанные «явно под принуждением» дают признательные показания. Членов союза тревожат и другие материалы, публикуемые Белтелерадиокомпанией на фоне ситуации с задержанием бывшего главреда телеграм-канала NEXTA Романа Протасевича и экстренной посадкой борта Ryanair в Минске. Несколько дней назад в государственных белорусских СМИ и аффилированных с властями телеграм-каналах появились видео с участием задержанных в Минске Романа Протасевича и его подруги Софьи Сапеги, гражданки России. В этом году Беларусь в нем участие не принимала из-за того, что предложила песню группы «Галасы ЗМеста» «Я научу тебя».

Poziţia lui corporală a fost asociată de anumiţi internauţi cu consumul de cocaină. EBU a anunţat că rezultatul testului antidrog, care a fost efectuat „puţin mai devreme, în cursul zilei de luni”, a fost negativ. Italia, care se afla în fruntea favoriţilor caselor de pariuri, a câştigat concursul muzical Eurovision 2021, depăşindu-i pe reprezentanta Franţei, Barbara Pravi, şi pe reprezentantul Elveţiei, Gjon's Tears, graţie unei interpretări antrenante a rockerilor din trupa Maneskin. Acest cântec interpretat în concursul Eurovision le-a permis să câştige în 2021 şi marele premiu al celei de-a 71-a ediţii a Festivalului de la San Remo. Victoria trupei Maneskin la Eurovision 2021 a fost cea de-a treia obţinută de Italia de-a lungul anilor în acest concurs muzical, care, de obicei, nu este aproape deloc frecventat de artişti care îşi revendică influenţe din muzica rock.

EBU spune că Damiano David s-a oferit să facă testul antidrog, iar rezultatul negativ a fost văzut luni de organizatori. „Suntem alarmați că speculațiile nefondate au dus la un fake news care a umbrit spiritul și rezultatul evenimentului și a afectat trupa pe nedrept. Solistul trupei câștigătoare, Damiano David, a fost suspectat că s-ar fi drogat în direct, chiar în timpul concursului. Damiano David a explicat că se uita în jos pentru că Thomas Raggi, chitarisul formației, spărsese un pahar.

„Au cerut chiar ei noaptea trecută, însă acest lucru nu a putut fi organizat imediat de EBU”, se precizează în comunicat. Cântăreţul a fost întrebat despre incident în timpul conferinţei de presă a trupei câştigătoare şi a explicat că s-a aplecat pentru că chitaristul Thomas Raggi tocmai spărsese un pahar. Formaţia italiană Maneskin, alcătuită din patru membri, trei băieţi şi o fată, a fost declarată câştigătoarea concursului Eurovision 2021, desfăşurat în Olanda. Grupul a avut o prestaţie puternică, impresionând cu o piesă rock foarte antrenantă, în stil „garage rock”, intitulată „Zitti e buoni”, care s-a aflat în fruntea pronosticurilor specialiştilor. Maneskin au câştigat cu aceeaşi melodie şi marele premiu la ediţia 71 a festivalului cântecului de la San Remo din 2021.

Румынская делегация не смогла принять участие в церемонии открытия песенного конкурса «Евровидение», который состоялся в воскресенье вечером в Роттердаме, Нидерланды, из-за случая заболевания COVID-19, зарегистрированного в отеле, где остановилась делегация. Но поскольку исландцы проживали в одном отеле с румынами, аналогичное решение было принято для представителей соседней страны, которые должны пройти тестирование. Согласно процедурам EBU, все члены делегаций, проживающие в одном отеле, изолируются и проходят тестирование на ПЦР. Еще одна делегация, в которой был обнаружен случай COVID, –это делегация Польши, а «побочной» жертвой стала мальтийская делегация. Напомним, что в этом году Республику Молдова представляет певица Наталья Гордиенко с песней Sugar.

Noua intrare a fost din nou respinsă din acest motiv, iar Belarusul a fost descalificat. Totuși, s-a hotărât să fie făcut un compromis – videoclipul a fost editat și relansat și va reprezenta țara la Rotterdam. Este o feministă deschisă și o susținătoare a drepturilor LGBT. Canalul One, organizatorul concursului în Rusia, a rămas tăcut în tot acest timp și nu a făcut nicio mișcare pentru a se retrage din concurs.

Republica Belarus a fost exclusă de la ediţia din acest an a concursului Eurovision, programată în luna mai, după ce a eşuat pentru a doua oară în tentativa sa de a propune un cântec care să respecte dimensiunea non-politică a acestei competiţii muzicale. European Broadcasting Union (EBU), care organizează concursul Eurovision, a precizat că ambele cântece propuse de trupa Galasy ZMesta (Галасы ЗМеста) „au încălcat regulamentele competiţiei care se asigură că acest concurs nu este manipulat sau discreditat”. Un nou cântec a fost propus de aceeaşi trupă după acele critici, însă şi cel de-al doilea single a fost respins de reprezentanţii EBU. Anul acesta, se va desfășura a 65-a ediție a Concursului Muzical Eurovision după ce concursul din 2020 a fost anulat din cauza pandemiei de COVID-19. Concursul va avea loc în Țările de Jos pentru a cincea oară după 1980.
