Avorotros says Joost Klein’s disqualification ‘disproportionate’ after incident involving female member of production crew
has said the decision to disqualify its contestant from the song contest just hours before the start of tonight’s grand final was “disproportionate”.
“Swedish police have investigated a complaint made by a female member of the production crew after an incident following his performance in Thursday night’s semi-final,” Eurovision’s organisers said in a statement. “Against the clearly made agreement, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the green room. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed. This wasn’t respected.”
Swedish police told the German magazine Der Spiegel that the incident they were investigating had not involved “physical or sexualised violence”.When Klein, who was due to perform just before Israel’s contestant, Eden Golan, on Saturday night, was asked if his entry Europapa could live up to the competition’s motto, “United by music”, he said: “I think that’s a good question for the EBU.
