After the city of Malmö announced that for security reasons it may be necessary to close Folkets Park during Eurovision week, Moriskan has chosen to cancel its planned Eurovision party. According to CEO Ozan Sunar, the Moriska pavilion risks its future if they carry out the arrangement because they would face high costs that they cannot back down from if the party is stopped close in.
Ozan Sunar agrees that Israel’s participation in Eurovision is problematic but does not support a boycott line.
– We think that Israel’s participation in Eurovision is unfortunate and inconsistent if you look at how the EBU acted with Russia. But Re:Orient, which runs Moriskan, has for thirty years worked for artists’ freedom to work from the stage. Then it is difficult to stand up for a boycott, he says to Sydsvenskan.
The day after the Tenants’ Association announced that they are canceling their planned activities during Eurovision week due to falling party mood.
– Not the same party and joy, says Regional Chairman Håkan Björkenlev in Hem&Hyra.
The messages are coming at the same time as more and more artists skip the Eurovision week. Including big draws such as Medina, Dotter and Titiyo.
