What a shitshow. Any favourite can now be falsely accused of any random thing and be removed from the competition.
I feel like the Swedish involvement has been very suspicious, ever since Loreen won over Finland's Cha Cha Cha and conveniently brought the Eurovision to Sweden for ABBAs 50 year celebration. There's something fishy going on
EBU has already announced changes for next year and obviously a lot of national broadcasters are very unhappy with how this was handled.
So they will need to clarify what sanctions are possible for what violation.
