Socialists call for investigation into televoting system at Eurovision (www.belganewsagency.eu)

Flemish socialist party Vooruit is calling on Flemish public broadcaster VRT to push for an investigation into the televoting system within the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), the organiser of the Eurovision Song Contest. That the Israeli contestant received 12 points from the Belgian public, while the expert jury gave none, raises questions about manipulation – just like in Spain.

It seems like a repeat of last year: https://thegrayzone.com/2024/05/14/israel-astroturfed-eurovision-vote/

In may 2024: Israeli officials hyped their country’s 5th place Eurovision finish as proof of quiet global grassroots support for their assault on Gaza. Now, they admit they manipulated the results through an international propaganda blitz.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the difference is with last time anyway. A lot of posturing, but nothing changes in the end. "Not a political event" my ass
