The entry, New Day Will Rise, refers not directly to the battle with the lyrics: “A brand new day will daybreak, life will go on. The darkness will fade, all of the ache will go, however we’ll keep.”
The EBU has requested for lyric modifications in songs from Finland and Malta which had sexual connotations.
The RTVE letter to Noel Curran states: “RTVE conveys to the EBU its dedication to the pageant, but in addition acknowledges the issues raised by varied civil society teams in Spain relating to the state of affairs in Gaza and the participation of the general public tv KAN within the contest.”
“RTVE considers that it might be acceptable for the EBU to recognise the existence of this debate and facilitate a while for reflection among the many broadcasters which can be a part of the competition.”
In February, RTVE’s chief, Jose Pablo Lopez needed to touch upon the competition in response to a query from the far-left Sumar social gathering parliamentarian Francisco Sierra over Israel’s participation within the contest.
He stated he would search a unified place from the RTVE board and talk its place to the EBU.
He said that the EBU is an impartial authority that reaches choices individually from its member radio and tv stations.
No EBU member nations have thus far known as for Israel to withdraw, which was not the case final 12 months.
