The Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Liverpool on May 13th. The organizers are now warning that climate activists could hijack the event – and are making initial preparations.
The incident that is now affecting the organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest was only a few weeks ago. But he is a cautionary tale for them – of how a competition can be disrupted by climate activists.
It happened at the World Snooker Championship. An activist jumped onto one of the pool tables, spilling orange powder on the table. There was already a game going on that had to be interrupted. The table was cleaned first, the game could not continue at first – and the event was disrupted. This is exactly what should not be repeated in Liverpool when the Eurovision Song Contest takes place in mid-May.
The bosses of the BBC, according to “Mirror” and “Daily Mail”, are very concerned that the singing competition could be disrupted by climate activists. The eco-protesters could only be “difficult to stop”, according to host Rylan Clark. Various executives from the BBC, which will broadcast the competition, are already working closely with the police. The goal: to organize a competition that should run free of disruptions.
The summary is: let’s hope it goes well
But will that be fulfilled? Host Rylan Clark explained: “What you need to understand is that when there’s an audience in front of a stage, even if there’s a six-foot pit in front of the stage, these things can happen.” What is meant are interventions in the process by the climate activists, who could also get stuck there.
Clark continued about the activists: “Ultimately, people can try to do what they want and nobody will ever be able to prevent that. There are no more tickets this year, but it’s hard to stop someone.” It’s the cryptic form of saying: Let’s hope it goes well – because nobody can guarantee that.
The Chief Superintendent of Merseyside Police had already warned that nobody should embarrass the competition. Especially against the background of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, the process should run smoothly. A “safe, respectful event” was to be held on behalf of the Ukrainians.
