As a European I can assure you that #Eurovision is for many Europeans the most political thing they do all year.
It’s a proxy for many a historical rivalry and friendship between countries; and also always reflects current events.
The claim it’s “apolitical” is laughable.
The implosion they’re experiencing is their own fault.
