Andorra: Susanne Georgi continues pushing for Andorran return to Eurovision

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Susanne Georgi is committed to see Andorra back again at the Eurovision Song Contest.  The former Andorran representative has advocated for a return of the country to Eurovision and she continues discussing with Andorran stakeholders as the Eurovision Song Contest is taking place in Liverpool.

For instance, she met with CCMA to talk about her campaign and the importance of bringing back the Catalan language to the Eurovision stage:

“I’ve had meetings with politicians and with a lot of people, I’ve been with this project for 5-6 years.”

In 2022, Ms. Georgi stated that she had reached a verbal agreement with the Andorran government for the country to return that year.  However, this promise was not met.  Two years later, Susanne Georgi has not given up.

“The excuse before was that there was no money, I have already found the money and I think that every day we are closer to it. I don’t know if it will be in 2024 or 2 or 4 years from now, but if we go back , we’ll be back for sure .”

In the latest episode of the Euro Trip podcast, Eurovision 2023 executive producer Andrew Cartmell was a guest.

The producer of this year’s contest spoke about the preparations for the event which will take place in May in Liverpool, the plans for the selection of the next participation of the United Kingdom, but also the intention to undertake the event again for 2024!

“We are now in the production phase of the three live shows. The most important thing – regardless of the final result – is the quality of the performance and the song.

Of course we would like to get along. It would be amazing to be in the top ten or top five, why not win? We have to do this every year. We have to go in wanting to win. Nobody says, ‘Don’t win it, you can’t host it twice.”

The 67th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Liverpool and more specifically at the M&S Bank Arena.

The first Semi-Final will be played on Tuesday 9 May, the second Semi-Final on Thursday 11 May and the Grand Final on Saturday 13 May 2023.
