It is deeply concerning that Stefania Liberakaki, who is publicly known to have professional relationships with two (2!) of the contestants advancing to Greece’s Eurovision national final, seems to have been involved in the selection process. This constitutes a clear conflict of interest and undermines the credibility of both the process and the committee overseeing it.
No wonder her name has yet to be officially announced. It appears there is an attempt to avoid public scrutiny over this obvious issue.
Eurovision is a competition built on fairness and transparency, and allowing such conflicts to persist damages not only the reputation of the national selection but also public trust in ERT’s commitment to an impartial process.
This matter cannot be ignored. For the integrity of the competition, I urge the committee to take immediate action to either address or rectify this situation transparently. Failing to do so would cast serious doubt on the legitimacy of the final outcome.
