Eurovision defends Ronela Hayati: Discrimination will not be tolerated!

She was the first to appear on the Pala Olimpico stage for shoe trials and also the first to be captivated by the critics. Indeed, Ronela Hayatin, who represents Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, was involved in severe insults and even verbal attacks on her physical appearance.

In parallel with the bullying for Ronela's body weight, attacks on Eurovision have started on social networks for the way she is managing the festival, including serious insulting words about the problems caused by the malfunction of the "kinetic sun", which would be strong point of scenography. And then criticism for the entire Italian organization, compared to the very unfortunate 1991 edition.

This poisoned climate convinced the EBU of the need for a public statement: “We strongly condemn all forms of discrimination and are shocked by the serious level of cyberbullying addressed to those for whom they work hard. produced this year 's show, "writes the Italian media. Not only that, Abu talks about attacks that have been launched" even on their personal accounts. " to be blocked immediately and in serious cases we will report such persons to the competent local authorities ”.

The organization concludes by calling for "the values ​​of Eurovision: inclusiveness, universality and the celebration of diversity through music", urging followers and fans of various artists to comment "in a civil and respectful way".

Controversies before the event have never been absent, but this year they have probably been more violent and unfair than usual. So much so that it made Ronela react harshly on the internet: “I miss my studio, my music, my shows, my fans! I have been working on every detail for five months and people are unhappy. That's all I can do. Excuse me! Turn off the TV when this bad performance is broadcast so you can forget about it faster. ”

The rehearsals of the artists are ending and tomorrow on the agenda is the opening in the palace of Venaria. In anticipation of the parade of 40 delegations of the participating countries and the presenting trio, Laura Pausini, Alessandro Cattelan and Mika.
