Last weekend, Swiss singer Nemo convincingly won Eurovision with their song ‘The Code’. Nemo earned the lion’s share of the jury vote and fifth in the public vote for their operatic vocal melodies and impressive performance atop a rotating platform. Nemo also made history at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest as the first non-binary contestant to win, an important moment for an event that has long championed LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion. While Nemo’s victory sparked celebrations in the Malmö arena and around the world, one world leader was less than pleased with their historic win. Switzerland ...

The Netherlands’ disqualified Eurovision contestant Joost Klein is likely to face charges, according to Swedish police. In a dramatic move hours before the grand final, Klein was disqualified from the event due to what was described as an “incident”. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said that the 26-year-old favourite would be investigated and that he could not perform because “while the legal process takes its course, it would not be appropriate for him to continue in the Contest.” It was later confirmed that a female member of the song contest's production crew made an accusation agains...

Nemo’s song ‘The Code’, which was one of our favourites here at Euronews Culture, was an immediate winner, and everything tonight – from the theatrical performance and delivery – was perfect.

“We love music. That’s what I can say,” said a Commission spokesperson trying to dodge a question earlier this week on whether the EU executive has a personal favourite for the final. Even if the Commission hasn’t taken a stand, the competition entries – which were watched by more than 162 million of people last year – appear to be nodding increasingly towards Brussels, with some songs even referring more or less explicitly to the EU. This is the clearly the case of 'Europapa' brought on the stage by the Dutch singer Joost Klein – an evidently pro-European song that has already won the hearts ...

Ukrainian Eurovision winner Jamala said her country can't afford to get political at this year's song contest, as calls multiply for participants to boycott Eurovision over the Israel-Hamas war. “Some countries may refuse to participate [in the song contest],” Jamala, who was placed on Russia's wanted list last year, told PA media. “But we don’t. Especially we cannot afford to give up such a contest in time of war.” Eurovision will take place this week in the Swedish coastal city of Malmö, beginning with the first semi-final tomorrow (7 May), and is set to feature Israel’s controversial entry,...

Twenty years ago this week, the European Union saw the biggest enlargement round ever. On May 1st, 2004, ten states simultaneously joined the bloc, seven of them from beyond the former Iron Curtain. Some called it the “Big Bang”. In a rather mute celebration, the European institutions in Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg were lit up for the occasion this week. EU Council President Charles Michel advocated new members: “Enlargement is vital for the future of the EU because without enlargement there is, in fact, a risk for a new Iron Curtain, and this would be extremely dangerous, if you would...
