    According to the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest, artists are not allowed to take a political stance.

    Same bullshit with the Olympics. These rules are dumb and should be violated into abolishment.
    Such events are political in nature, (non-)participation is a political stance and the organisers have no right to violate the participants freedom to express their opinions.
