I haven’t watched it the last few years because I can’t stomach the idea that a genocidal state is allowed to compete :/ I love Eurovision but the EBU has made all the wrong decisions. They were even going to let Russia compete in 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine, until public outrage forced their hand. They claim the competition is neutral but guess what? Allowing Israel, a country actively committing genocide who isn’t even a part of fucking Europe is a political statement whether you like it or not

Duterte is a monster though. Every strongman dictator behind bars matters.
