BREAKING NEWS: Moldova withdraws from Eurovision 2025!

In an unexpected turn of events, TRM has announced that Moldova will withdraw from the 69th Eurovision Song Contest. The decision came during a press conference earlier today, surprising many fans who had anticipated an announcement regarding a potential shift to an internal selection process.

Why did Moldova decide to withdraw?

According to TRM, the withdrawal was the result of a thorough analysis of the current situation, taking into account several key factors including economic, administrative, and artistic challenges. The broadcaster cited a reduction in public interest in the selection process, as well as concerns about the quality of submitted entries. Additionally, TRM acknowledged the need for a “refresh” in the country’s approach to Eurovision participation.

In the press release, TRM stated:

We consulted music specialists, and most of them expressed serious reservations about Moldova’s participation this year, in exact agreement with the opinion of the jury that TRM selected for this edition. We respect the opinions of professionals and the general public, and we understand that we must make responsible decisions.

The broadcaster also pointed to rising participation costs as a significant factor in the decision. Due to the combination of these financial strains and the perceived low quality of the entries, TRM felt it was in the best interest of the country to step back this year.

The official statement emphasized that the costs allocated for Eurovision participation in 2025 will instead be redirected to other projects, and TRM reassured the public that this break would provide an opportunity for creative reflection, promising that Moldova would return to Eurovision in the future with renewed strength.

Despite withdrawing from the competition, TRM confirmed that Moldova would still follow the Eurovision contest and broadcast all three live shows.
