(Adnkronos) – Exclude Israel from Eurovision. This is what Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is asking for, according to whom keeping the country out of the world’s biggest music competition is necessary to be “in solidarity with the Palestinian people, who are experiencing the absurdity of war and bombings”. “We cannot have double standards in the cultural field”, reiterated Sánchez, stressing that if Russia was excluded from the competition after the invasion of Ukraine, Israel “should not participate” either.
The 2025 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday ended with the victory of the Austrian contestant Jj, ahead of Israeli singer Yuval Raphael, who received full marks from home.
