After Ukraine’s victory in the Eurovision Song Contest, the big question is whether the Eastern European country can host next year because of the war with Russia. According to Telegraaf reporter Richard van de Crommert, Maastricht has good cards to organize the song festival. In the season finale of the podcast Song Festival fever, Van de Crommert and Katja Zwart discuss everything that stood out during the final in Turin. From the solidarity points for Kalush Orchestra to the criticism of Jan Smit as a commentator. And from presenter Laura Pausini, who was missing for a while, to the remarkable scoring. According to Katja Zwart, something crazy happened there: “The EBU does not just intervene.”

Six country juries are said to have made voting agreements among themselves in the second semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest. That says media director Jean Philip De Tender of the EBU, the organizing broadcaster, according to Het Laatste Nieuws.
