With the advent of Switzerland as a place of Eurovision-2024, a conflict has erupted in the country to hold this music event. Politicians and activists oppose this decision because of the controversy about the speeches they consider to be propaganda of occultism and Satanism.
According to RTS, opponents plan to raise the issue of Eurovision-2025 for a referendum.
According to the activists, the evolution of the song competition, an increasing number of anti -Semitic incidents, as well as "more and more Satanist and occult contributions" became the reasons. Politicians called representatives from Ireland Bambie Thug, who showed an exorcism session in Swedish Malme this year.
According to the UDF, there is a high risk for safety when Eurovision will take place in Switzerland next May. The party has announced that she wanted to coordinate signatures against loans provided for a possible organization by interested cities, namely Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Bern/near (joint application). At the same time, the German -language taxpayers' union wants to prevent Zurich's money on Eurovision.
The UDF Sections Committees of the City and Kanton Zurich decided to hold a referendum against a city credit of 20 million Swiss francs ($ 22.3 million), approved by the last Wednesday (July 2) by the legislative body. This money should co-finance Eurovision-2025 if Zurich is chosen by the host city. On Monday, July 8, the canton parliament provided a loan of 5 million Swiss francs ($ 5.5 million).
The UDF Berne sections have decided to launch a referendum against loans on Bern and near Bern and near. In Berne, politicians have submitted a referendum text. At the cantonal level, a referendum will be held if a loan of nearly 30 million Swiss francs ($ 33.4 million) will be adopted by the Grand Council.
At the end of August, the SSR SSR broadcasket should choose the city-host of the Eurovision-2025 competition in agreement with the European Language Union (main organizers). Conducting possible referendums will only be possible later. As for the Eurovision-2024 winners, they did not respond to Swiss politicians and activists on social networks.
