Eurovision Song Contest live: the organization denies that there are plans for a return from Russia after criticism from RTVE

This Saturday starting at 9:00 p.m. the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Vienna. Spain, Ireland, Iceland, Slovenia and the Netherlands have decided not to participate due to the presence of Israel in the contest. Protests have taken place in the Austrian capital in the hours before the start of the final. As has happened in the last two editions, eyes will be on the influence of televoting, which can tip the balance. This time it is Finland (with the permission of the Australian Delta Goodrem) that is competing for the popular vote, with an increasingly political nature, with the Israeli Noam Bettan. After midnight the winner of the most controversial edition in recent years will be announced.
