Tbh all these wild theories, news releases from random journalists, or special connections - mostly coming from people on Twitter is getting kinda tiresome at this point now.

.... I hope there aren't any journalist reading this forum to get information. This might otherwise spread some pretty crazy rumours...
Fake news spreads easily these days.

There was an article summarizing foreign press on the incident in the VRT broadcast yesterday.
Multiple foreign papers wrote that the Israel act was interrupted during the broadcast, which is totally not true... Even the easiest things that can be fact checked by any journalist are still being (purposely?) written incorrectly, making thousands of readers believe things that didn't happen.

Yes, I'm hearing this now too. RTVE has just released a statement demanding "freedom of expression" or leaving the contest.

This Is exactly the Pandora's box opened that I mentioned earlier: there was no need to cancel the Big5 press conference if not for this problem. Not even the Klein situation explained that being cancelled. Spain Is not the only one, I ensure you. Let's see if the jury show will take place. I'm not so sure anymore...

I can't believe this is on actual news channels in your country. Here in Germany we'd be lucky when the commentator notices the Spanish or Dutch or whatever absence during the postcard...
Well most German news outlets already picked up the incident actually.

I had a good laugh and all, but on a serious topic: chances are pretty high this year is cancelled, right?

Edit not to spread another rumour: that's just my speculation based on all the chaos and I really hope it's false.
that would be really disappointing for Croatia in particular ://
