The organizers of the international Eurovision song contest offered Belarus to replace the song with which the country was going to perform in 2021.
In their opinion, the composition “I will teach you” by the “Galasy ZMesta” group casts doubt on the non-political nature of the competition. They carefully studied the song and came to the conclusion that it does not comply with the rules of the competition, and the public reaction to it could “damage the reputation of Eurovision.
“We have informed the BTRK TV channel, which is responsible for Belarus’ participation in Eurovision, that the song – in its current form – is not eligible to participate in the competition,” the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said in a statement on Twitter.
