Now that we are gone, hopefully we don’t come back, Eurovision is just politics anyways. We might as well save the money instead of wasting it in Eurovision
At which point the only entrants will be Russia and Israel.
Maybe organize a separate contest with Russia, Belarus, and Israel?
Time to start an EU-only festival open to candidate states. edit: all right and other states if unanimously invited. EuroGlobal Nondenominational Inclusive Performative Arts Nonjudgmental Show, or EGNIPANTS.
Makes sense. It also makes to add more boycotts to that shit. Not Portugal though, rtp are cowards and will continue to be.
The Eurovision Director loves war criminals.
Eurovision embarrasses itself
Absolutely not. I’m already on the verge of ditching it – if we get Russia as well I’m out.
When you rather welcome Russia back then shut Israel out.
Eurovision Song Contest is run by the least moral people on Earth.
It’s disgusting that Russia is being more and more welcomed back into the world even though they’re still murdering Ukrainians.
Some folk just lack any sense of self-awareness don’t they?
Let Belarus, Russia, and Israel in. Then everyone else leaves and joins a new program called Super No Warcrimes Eurovision.
I completely disagree with Russia being allowed back while the war is still ongoing.
Eurovision banned Russia after the invasion because the contest claimed to stand for certain values beyond just entertainment. Reversing that now would make the whole thing look completely cynical and politically convenient rather than principled.
Eurovision prefering Russia and Israel rather than my own country hurts a bit.
Fine. But on one condition. The Russian performance has to include live video feed from Putin’s jail cell in Hague.
A) Support Ukraine and boycott Eurovision
B) Support Israel and keep paying the bills for Israel’s propaganda contest
Which way, Germany?
Easy way to lose another 5 countries at least. If all of the eastern europe broadcasters held out through the israel boycott, I can guarantee that the Baltics and Poland (and probably some other countries too) would leave so fast. Is Green on a mission to just kill the contest off? If he’s bored of his job already, he can just resign and let someone else take over.
He should get fired for that… It would probably be the end. For the first time in my life, I am not following eurovision this year, and I am ashamed that Norway is still part of it, and showing it on TV.
Eventually Eurovision is just going to be a competition between Russia and Israel.
Eurovision is dead. Israel has deliberately killed journalists of EBU members who own the contest. They have broken rules against vote manipulations. They still get invited over the 5 countries boycotting the contest who are actually European counties. Now this. Just shut it down. What a disgrace.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
I don’t like Martin Green and the EBU either, but this headline is straight up disinformation. Here are his exact words: “theoretically yes” – and then “I’m not really into “if if if”s”, stating that this is a hypothetical scenario and that there’d be a democratic process involving the EBU members before such a thing would happen. He neither wants Russia back, nor does he imply that it could happen anytime soon.
Basically his stance is that everything is a democratic decision, the EBU doesn’t make value judgments, as, basically, they don’t want to get into politics.
Which is also not how I’d prefer Eurovision to be run, but it’s a far cry from what this title implies.

What is it with these international organisations (Eurovision, Fifa, Olympic committee) that are run by the most despicable human beings?
Keep Russia away from ALL events until Putin is hanged and Ruzzians have paid for their crimes.
If that were to happen Eurovision should be completely boycotted by every EU country.
I’m not watching this year for the first time since… 2013? And not attending/throwing a massive party since then, either…
I’m having a lot of FOMO this week, and it sucks.
But every time I wade back in due to my curiosity, I keep finding things like this that remind me that I am so much better off not.
I am still stuck on my old idea of what Eurovision was… and forgetting how badly it’s hurt me in the last 2 years… and it’s only getting worse.
Russia literally can’t return because the ethos of Eurovision violates its “LGBT propaganda” law.
Martin Green should really think about working in FIFA.
Maybe there needs to be a new director
There’s videos on YouTube of Martin Green giving interviews at some event like Davos or similar (I cant remember) where he is pitching Eurovision to government and business heads as a useful Geopolitical influence tool.
Maybe he’s tailoring his message to get funding but this guy is not just putting on an innocent song contest.
No place for Russia in Eurovision or Europe.
We already allow the fascists in israel to participate.
What about Hitler? Can Hitler return?
Why tf would Russia get to be in Eurovision, a contest about sharing our european culture and values? RuSSia has neither. Oh and they still continue to kill civies.
What a mess.
I am sorry, you cannot expel Russia for their aggression in Ukraine and then give Israel a free pass to carpet bomb Gaza.
It is really that simple.
Who the fuck watches this sh*t show anyway?
If Russia returns, Ukraine and Israel will withdraw
Things are bad enough the guy just has to make things worse…
Corrupt and immoral.
Eurovision is like tarnishing own image, hold my beer to itself at this point
Great thats smashing, why don’t we get Tajikistan or north Korea in aswell then. I hear the DRC puts on a great show too
