Israel: Towards a solution for the crisis | Normally the delegation will go in Turin!

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to local media, the crisis created by the strike in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is on strike, seems to be coming to an end. It seems that the Israeli delegation will normally go to Turin, to participate in the 66th Eurovision Song Contest.

The news fell like a bomb yesterday, after the public television of the country KAN, announced that under the current circumstances, the Israeli delegation can not go to Turin, since the GSS, the security service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is on a permanent strike. The Italian organization and the EBU refused to provide security personnel for the Israeli mission and so KAN announced on Tuesday 12/4, that it is unable to go to Turin.

The truth is that every Israeli delegation abroad, whether it is Eurovision, sports or any other event, is necessarily accompanied by security personnel. Strict security protocols always accompany Israeli missions when traveling abroad, especially after the “Munich Massacre”, when nine Israeli athletes were killed by Palestinian terrorists during the 1972 Olympics.

Despite the strike of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the head of the GSS (security service), instructed the security officers to consider other options, so that the delegation could travel to Turin without the participation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. KAN said it was in contact with GSS officials so that Michael Ben-David could properly represent Israel on the Eurovision stage. “The company thanks GSS for its help and hopes that a solution to the crisis will be found soon.”

With the crisis going to be resolved, all the 40 delegation will normally be on the stage of Pala Olimpico, to participate in Eurovision 2022!

Vote for the new name of the Barbara Dex Award!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Barbara Dex Awards was an annual award given to the artist with the “most striking look” in the Eurovision Song Contest, voted by its fans. It is named after Barbara Dex, Belgium’s representative in Eurovision 1993, taken by her very particular dress that she wore in the night of the contest.

The organizational committee had decided on the discontinuation of the (in)famous award. However, due to the mixed reactions, they changed their decision, and kept it as is, with a slight change to its name. Fans sent in a huge number of suggestions for a name for the new award and the organizers have now reduced them to ten possible names for fans to choose from.

They want the artists that receive the award to take it as gift and not as an insult, and they truly believe they can achieve that with one of the options below.

The ten possible names for the new award are:
