Eurovision 2024: Switzerland Triumphs Amidst Controversy and Calls for Boycott

The Eurovision Song Contest faced significant turmoil with political tensions and protests, yet concluded with Switzerland's historic win.

Switzerland's Nemo became the first non-binary winner with 'The Code', marking the country's first victory since 1988.
Israel's participation, amid ongoing conflict in Gaza, sparked widespread protests and calls for a boycott from international artists and activists.
The contest saw a dip in viewership, attributed to controversies over political censorship and the inclusion of contentious participants.
Dutch contestant Joost Klein was disqualified just before the final, escalating debates about the contest's handling of participant behavior.
Amidst the discord, the event strove to uphold its theme of unity, though many questioned the feasibility of a non-political Eurovision.
