Hi Fabio! Looking forward to tonight.
What did he do? There seem to be a lot of interviews with the acts wearing Palestinian colours, etc. Apparently that is acceptable x |

This is going to get spicy tonight…
In the dress rehearsal for tonight.. the French stopped half way through and made political comments… also Ireland, Switzerland and Greece have made a formal complaint about the Israeli delegation and their conduct… and we still have the issue with the Dutch |

Yes….. indirectly it seems….. there were various artists who didn’t want to be filmed directly coming off the stage… it seems seems the Israeli delegation have been the most aggressive at doing this… to the point that Ireland, Greece and Switzerland all have made formal complaints…
Anyway it seems as if the Netherlands were also part of the group to complain… he was apparently filmed, didn’t like it… and forcefully imitated the producers to put it down….
And this is what got the ebu involved… |
