This 2024 edition of Eurovision will have been particularly eventful. Main controversy: the participation of an Israeli candidate in the competition, denounced by demonstrators because of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. The demonstrators demanded the exclusion of the candidate. On social networks, we saw false information or distorted images circulating around these demonstrations.
Info or Intox is interested in Eurovision. Saturday, May 11, the final of the singing competition was held with a certain number of controversies surrounding the event. We saw in particular pro-Palestinian demonstrations, against the participation of the Israeli candidate in the competition due to the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
