Or to say it shortly: Ignore them!! Am I right??
Of to put it in short: oikotimes is the RTL II of eurovision.

Re: HUNGARY 2020
Not to mention that Fotis Konstantopolous has been reported at many contests to have been running around the press centres stealing laptops. Oikotimes is an utter mess.
Amongst fans, it's widely known that oikotimes follow its own narrative. People claim they usually promote rumours as confirmed news, e.g. they believed that Portugal would be disqualified 2011, that Greece would withdraw 2012, that the Hungarian entry 2011 was plagiarism, Czech Republic would switch to semi 2 in 2018 (after Mikolas got hurt in the rehearsals)...they also wrote that the Echo awards 2011 were hosted by Bruno Mars and Adele (lol), that San Marino was to sent a girl band from Hong Kong back in 2013.... They are also very patriotic and published articles like "Maria Elena Kyriakou explains why she failed: it was due to ORF!"- Maybe submitting a boring, old-fashioned and dated ballad back in 2015 was the reason for not making the Top 10?
They have also stated that "Greece is thinking to withdraw becasue of bad result in 2014" and that "The EBU to impose sancations on MRTV (2017)" (FYR Macedonia) which in fact, didn't happen at all.
Back in 2012, Oikotimes had troubles with a huge virus (Trojaner).
They also helped to spread hatred when it comes to Germany, e.g. publishing articles such as "BREAK THE RULES IT'S OK IF YOU ARE NDR" - They published it even AFTER NDR as well as EBU declared that Mobilée's entry was eligible for the preselection.
Personally, I think that the page is trustworthy in terms of Greece, Cyprus and Russia (somehow they got exclusive) but personally, I don't like the page's attitude towards other nations.
They are usually quite faster than other pages, though, and therefore, it's difficult to avoid the page.
Ok, these were my 2 cents.

Basically, when the year's number ends with a zero, Hungary takes a gap year.
Its withdrawal isn't even confirmed since this statement is vague, so I wouldn't put "not taking part" beside the thread's title. We should be quite careful about translation issues and stuff, as I personally believe that Hungary didn't write this statement in English.
Anyway, I'm so pissed at Hungary's attitude, like, if they want to promote the Hungarian music industry/culture at a whole another level, the best thing to do is not to take part at ESC according to them? Okay, lol, bye Felicia!
However, we all know that the real reason behind Hungary's withdrawal from the ESC is that they didn't make it through for the first time since 2011. Lol, what?!
The Netherlands didn't qualify for 8 years in a row and they still attempted to get back to the grand final and they did so in 2013. What about Hungary? They nearly miss out a spot to the GF and they withdraw from the ESC.
Never come back Hungary, no one misses you here.

I'll miss it because I like how experimental they were. We need it!1111
If it turns out to be true then it's a real shame, they weren't afraid to send entries which differed from the common ESC song. Each year I looked forward to the A Dal selection.
I didn't always like their entry, but when I did it was a top 8 for sure.

At the end it's the same. Hungary withdraws, but Ukraine is back, so the balance is restored. I don't remember any hun songs that I listen to after eurovision.
