We step away from the usual Eurovisionphiles flair for a necessary, sober discussion on the recent European Broadcasting Union (EBU) General Assembly.

The meeting addressed critical concerns surrounding the contest's future, including a vote on new rules aimed at bolstering voting integrity and neutrality. While the rule changes passed, a separate vote on a participating member's eligibility was avoided, leading to immediate, strong reactions and withdrawals from several key broadcasters.

Join us as we dissect the official statements, the controversy, and what these impactful decisions mean for the spirit and future line-up of the Eurovision Song Contest.
