In his letter, the vice-president of the European Fee, accountable for the promotion of the European lifestyle, writes in a very essential and diplomatically strict tone:
Because the Vice-President of the European Fee accountable, amongst different issues, for cultural coverage, I used to be saddened to study of the coverage carried out by the EBU this yr which prohibits individuals from waving the EU flag through the Eurovision Tune Contest remaining.
Such actions have forged a shadow over what is supposed to be a joyous event for peoples throughout Europe and the world to return collectively in celebration. Lower than a month earlier than the European elections and two durations of geopolitical turmoil, with the EU focused by nefarious and authoritarian actors, the EBU’s determination contributed to the discrediting of an emblem that unites all Europeans.
That is additional contrasted with the Paris 2024 Olympics, the place the OIC has allowed EU flags to be displayed at venues and award ceremonies.
The inconsistency within the EBU’s stance has left me and plenty of hundreds of thousands of your viewers questioning what and who the Eurovision Tune Contest is for.
I might ask you to elucidate the reasoning behind this determination and the accountability the place it’s due. I might anticipate to see the values of peace, tolerance and inclusion given better respect sooner or later.”
A response from the EBU, to Mr Schina’s letter, and explanations for the space the organizers have saved from EU symbols is awaited.
