As far as I understood this is one swedish MP who is collecting signitures for a removal. Knowing the mechanisms in the european parliament this is quite unlikely to have any impact... It‘s not an initiative by one of the powerful fractions, there is no diplomacy involved. Looks to me rather as an effort to draw attention to the problem with Belarus than actually removing them from the contest. but we‘ll see.
Yes, wouldn't it be sad that a dictator regime that is torturing and imprison its people can't use one of the world's largest platforms to whitewash their image?I sadly believe Belarus will be forced withdraw but I agree lets see....
Quoting Rein Aleksander ''Let put politics behind'' but I think its right thing to do I guess to remove them.Yes, wouldn't it be sad that a dictator regime that is torturing and imprison its people can't use one of the world's largest platforms to whitewash their image?
Of course she‘s part of a fraction, but her initiative seema to be her personal project, or is she speaking officially in behalf of the fraction? I don‘t know, why you bring in „the left“, doesn‘t seem to have anything to do with this specific initiative. The right is traditionally fond of Putin and left fractions such as the greens are very critical against both Lukashenko and Putin, so...Actually, the MP is from the largest fraction EPP and is trying to gain signatures within this fraction first and there might be a snowball effect to other fractions. In the European Parliament, the biggest "supporters" of Lukashenko are found in the left fraction that didn't even want to put sanctions on Belarus in the first place, thankfully this is not the majority of the parliament.
But yeah, I doubt EBU will care in the end of the day but who knows? After all active EBU members are mostly countries from the European Union and the national broadcasters are under the national governments that ultimately are under the European Union, so EU has more say in these broadcasters' business than EBU for sure.

But we‘re getting off topic here.
I think the initiative of this woman is a very sincere and honorable action to draw once again attention to the problematic situation in Belarus, but as I said, it‘s not likely that Belarus will be excluded from this years ESC because of it.
