Nemo: “I never considered withdrawing from Eurovision. However, I’m still waiting on the EBU to respond to some of the behind-the-scenes happenings”
A few months after handing Switzerland its third Eurovision victory, Nemo talked on their experience on this year’s contest and denied the rumours that wanted them to withdraw just hours before the grand final. They did, however, highlight their dissatisfaction with a number of occurrences connected to the Israeli delegation and said that they are waiting an official response from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Following their absence from the flag parade of the grand final dress rehearsal, rumours circulated that the Greek, Swiss, and Irish contestants were pulling out. There were speculations that the reason for this absence was a disagreement between one of the Israeli delegation members and the artists in question.
However, Nemo denied the rumors that they wanted to consider the scenario of his withdrawal from the contest. More specifically, they stated:
I never considered withdrawing from the final. However, I am still awaiting an official response from the EBU regarding certain events that have taken place behind the scenes.
The organizers have not yet dealt with these incidents.
As an artist, it’s difficult for me to express my position on the matter.
