Moldova: Is Etapa Națională 2025 canceled?
A press conference is scheduled for tomorrow where, according to speculations, the national broadcaster of Moldova will announce the cancellation of the Eurovision selection process and proceed with an internal selection, despite the fact that the auditions have already taken place and the list of finalists has been determined.
According to speculations around the internet, tomorrow at 11:00 CET, the national broadcaster of Moldova, TRM, will organize a press conference where it will announce the cancellation of Etapa Națională 2025 and will proceed with an internal selection of Bacho and Carnival Brain with their song “Semafoare” to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel. The broadcaster has already held the auditions where 26 songs took part and the date for the final of Etapa Națională 2025 had already been scheduled on February 22, 2025.
The internal selection of Bacho and Carnival Brain, if true, likely is due to the poor quality of this year’s national competition. The songs of Etapa Națională 2025 are not of high quality and contestants who would normally finish last in the auditions managed to qualify to the Etapa Națională 2025 final (for example, Sasha Bognibov’s song).
The rules of the Etapa Națională 2025 indeed permit the national broadcaster to cancel the entire process and to internally select the contestant for Eurovision 2025. It is also stated that the contestants have no right to claim anything against the TRM.
Additionally, Lidia Isac, who represented the country at Eurovision 2016 and was a member of the Etapa Națională 2025 jury, seems, according to her post, to criticise the low quality of the songs in this year’s process.
