I didn't see the flags part, Iolanda really seemed pissed. I saw her performance and I immediately though something was off comparing to the previous ones. I would really want to know what did happen before the show

[@Valathia]

I'm going to get flagged for spamming , cuz I just keep having to tell people what happened :') One of the countries was harassing other countries, it was the delegation AND the broadcaster for you know who. The countries harassed were: Portugal, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland and Greece. (At least these were the 5 reported on news and tiktoks made by press there) After the Netherlands DQ on Saturday afternoon an emergency meeting had to be called, at least Portugal and Ireland were threatning to withdraw due to the harassment. Iolanda was probably pissed at WTV happened in that meeting, Because, in the end of the day what we know is: Netherlands got DQ'd, Portugal got censored, and the offenders ? Nothing happened to them. Iolanda got censored after wearing nails with palestinian motifs and saying "peace will prevail" at the end of her performance. Eurovision didn't upload her performance on the youtube channel until the televote was closed. And even then, only uploaded the performance after heavy pressure from the Portuguese broadcaster. What happened to Joost was clearly done on purpose, the person was trying to get a reaction out of him, and when he didn't hit her or get violent, the gesture he made was enough. All because he said "why not?" during a press conference when someone told you know who, that they didn't have to answer a question. He dared ask a simple question. After the flag parade (practice I believe) the incident with Joost happens. Then the emergency meeting the day after that. It's clear that all of this is connected. The victims are all getting penalized and the harassers got an amazing televote score and no Joost. Notice how the 5 countries complaining of harassment were fan favorites, the only fan favorite that didn't complain was Croatia (As far as I know at least, didn't read any reports mentioning them) Nemo in the end repeats that peace will prevail. It was really wholesome of him, they really tried to cut him off when he said that :')

[@tagaway6173]

​@@Valathia Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I thought what happened with Joost was on Thursday night. But was still allowed for the flag parade practice. Probably the meeting was happening around that time, and when it came to him rehearsing, they have taken him out. Anyways The footage should be released of what happened. The camara person was recording I think.

[@tagaway6173]

[@may51973]

@Valathia, thanks for more info. I was aware of Iolanda's nails and of what she said at the end of the song. Concerning the video of the grand final, besides being posted late on KZbin the video posted on FB and Instagram is the one of the semi-final as it was the one of the grand final (no nails with the Palestian keffiyeh pattern on them). I tried to comment that on Instagram but the comments are blocked.

[@s.hiessl149]

@@Valathia thanks for breaking it down. i also felt like it was such a show of selective morals when they said it wasn‘t allowed to bring flags or merchandise from non-competing countries (a very broad description especially when they only wanted to censor palestinian flags) but then within the first 15mins of the grand finals they show a person with an ecuadorian scarf for whatever reason and they don‘t even show this person only once, they kept cutting back to them a few times. the ebu is such a joke and the controversies keep piling up this year, i really hope to see at least a few of the ebu‘s representatives resign after this shitshow

A huge fucking mess this year. Never know this much controversy around the show. Netherlands being punished (probably) unfairly, Israel getting max televote points from several countries because of politics (I’ve heard much talk online of people who don’t even watch Eurovision who claimed they were gonna vote for Israel out of spite in the UK), Martin getting boos, Nemo accidentally breaking the trophy. (It’s also the first time since at least 2019 when the bookies favourite hasn’t won)

[@cailieisidro5758]

Actually for the Netherlands incident, the Swedish camerawoman was harassing Joost. She was filming him with his consent and also in a room where photography isn’t permitted. He kept telling her to stop but ignored. She finally did when he did a gesture to the camera, not hit the woman. Another thing I heard about the incident is how he also snapped when making a dead parent joke
