He will be on December 4 when he is responsible for the administration of the public ban of European songs.
Next December 4th, when the Assembly of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the body responsible for a year in which the party will be together with several years that will be put on the table that will be put on a year in which the festival will be experienced on the table that will be put on the festival of the festival of the festival.This assembly will not make any important decision in this part, but after that countries will have only five days to decide whether to go or not.The crisis threatening the Eurovision Song Contest is growing and is just around the corner.Therefore, ebbu has decided to take action on this matter in view of the countless criticisms it will receive in the next edition.
In an attempt to calm the mind of a situation that the meeting asked, which will be implemented by Exiya in the Euro 2066 Edition. After a long discussion with its members, "These measures seek to strengthen the integrity and fairness of the competition maii," confirm the competition group.
First, the return of expert juries to the semi-finals after being rejected at Eurovision 2022, establishing the same distribution of 50% between the votes of the jury and the public as happens in the grand final of Eurovision.
The description of this jury can be released only seven figures, joining the records, technical techniques and the most basic.They are in the middle of hundreds between 18 years.
But, without a doubt, the biggest statement was the audience vote margin.Eurovision 2026 will see each payment system halved from 20 to 10, encouraging fans to distribute support to their candidates.The criticism was discovered after a poll that gave Israel the majority of voters in Eurovision 2025, and is set to be made after Eurovision by television criticizing Eurovision.
One of the controversies that damaged Eurovision's image in its last edition was the large number of votes in favor of Israel, in contrast to calls by many activists and even some EBU-owned radio and television networks, such as RTVE itself, for the country not to participate due to human rights violations during the war in Gaza.
According to Green, the festival is aware that the motivations of the communities to vote for their favorite are very diverse and that there are "personal reasons, geographical affiliation and opinions on current events", and therefore he promised that "in light of these positions, the reference group of the competition" will study the data provided by Once Germany GmbH - the company responsible for the implementation of the possible arrangement to carry out the arrangement.That our rules and systems are still missing A mistake, in addition to taking into account contemporary factors such as technological progress and external influences, well, the decision has already been made that each person who wants to vote for his favorite will only have 10 votes and not 20 as it was until now.
This would be the only way to be safe, as many better voting methods would be introduced and suspected to exist or exist.In addition, cross-border candidates will be presented in order to prevent the influence of third parties, including three campaigns, as in the defense of Israel.
Voting guidelines and codes of conduct are being strengthened to avoid too many promotional campaigns.In this sense, the active participation of broadcasters and artists that influence the product is prohibited.The EBU warns that all attempts to manipulate will result in sanctions.
“We have listened and acted,” Green said of these important changes, warning that “the neutrality and integrity of the Eurovision Song Contest is of the utmost importance to the EBU, its members and all our audiences”.
"The integrity of the competition is always protected," he insisted."We are taking transparent and decisive steps to ensure the integrity of the competition.The competition should remain a neutral space and be free from "briefings and tricks".
Control of the content of songs and their staging will also be increased, especially in anything that may involve political or propaganda use of the stage.
With these changes, it remains to be seen whether Spain will consider it sufficient to change the decision not to participate in Eurovision 2026. At the moment, the president of RTVE, José Pablo López, maintains what the Board of Directors decided: if Israel participates, Spain will not be at the festival.
The reforms are yet to be adopted at a conference in December, although it appears the proposed changes still need to be approved by member states. Once official, each country will have to approve their participation in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest under these new rules.
