EU lodges complaint with Eurovision over flag ban !

Post by Sid Bishop »

The European Union does not agree with the Eurovision contest rules that only flags of "participating countries and the rainbow/pride flags" are allowed inside the contest venue. Well in this case the EU has no say in the matter, so tough luck if you dont like it !!

The European Union has lodged an official complaint with the organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest over its refusal to let participants wave the bloc's flag at last Saturday's final. "Such actions cast a shadow over what is meant to be a joyous occasion for peoples across Europe," European Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas wrote to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
The complaint comes after politician Dorin Frasineanu from the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party said he had been "denied entry to Eurovision with the EU flag". According to EBU rules only flags of "participating countries and the rainbow/pride flags" are allowed inside the contest venue. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw4dd9lzx02o
