On the competition front, there is bitterness for San Marino and the eliminated Megara band
This year, for sure, a Eurovision Song Contest 2024 you can’t get bored in Malmo. If on the political front the discussion has flared up on the participation of Israel with Eden Golan and his “Hurricane” (which passed the round yesterday to reach the semi-final), on the competition front there is bitterness for San Marino and the band Megara, eliminated.
“We could make the choice not to participate in Eurovision anymore – thundered a San Marino RTV the Secretary of State for Tourism, Federico Pedini Amati -. There is a lot of bitterness. Especially because there’s something about Eurovision that doesn’t add up to me. For three years in a row we are out of the final. First Achille Lauro, then Piqued Jacks and now Megara. It almost seems that small states are penalized too much. The game cannot be just for big countries.”
And finally: “I couldn’t decide not to participate anyway because there is state TV and there will be another government, but that’s not good. We are committed and hard to make an important product like A Voice for San Marino And we don’t deserve to be treated this way all the time“.
