The management group is in a crisis meeting, according to information to NRK. The reasons could be many, given Saturday’s anything but calm prelude to the final.
In addition to the EBU dishing out the Netherlands, there were three countries that missed the flag parade during the genre rep: Greece, Switzerland and Ireland.
The latter even missed his rehearsal performance for the audience.
“EBU has taken this seriously”
In a statement on Instagram, the Irish artist, Bambie Thug, writes that there was a “situation” before the performance that needed “urgent attention” from the EBU.
“The EBU has taken this seriously and we have had a discussion about what measures must be taken”, writes Bambie Thug.
In the statement, the artist also apologizes to his fans and hopes to see them on stage during the evening.
Want Israel excluded
According to Irish RTE should the situation have been about how Israeli television commentators on the public service company MAY have commented on Bambie Thug’s contribution.
Ireland’s Bambie Thug also says she believes Israel should not be allowed to compete in tonight’s final.
– I am angry that other entries that broke the rules are still allowed into the competition, says Bambi Thug.
