EMU did not find violations of the rules of “Eurovision” song in Jamala “1944″ – BBC

Singer Jamal may represent Ukraine in the musical contest “Eurovision-2016″ with the song “1944″. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has checked the text and song title and did not find in them any political statements. In the Twitter organization announced that “1944″ does not violate the rules of the competition.

Jamal won a trip to Sweden, where he held a competition in 2016, winning the national final, which ended in late February.

Her song “1944″ is dedicated to the deportation of Crimean Tatars, the Soviet authorities in 1944.

The choice of this song has caused outrage in a certain part of Russian politicians. Thus, the first deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Information Policy Vadim Dengin expressed the hope that “1944″ will not be admitted to the competition, and the deputy of the St. Petersburg Sachs Vitaly Milon offered to put on “Eurovision” one singer from Russia and Poland with the song of “Volyn massacre” Poles 1943.

Russian representative at “Eurovision-2016″ singer Sergei Lazarev in an interview with “Gazeta.ru” refused to discuss the repertoire of musicians of the participating countries, providing a solution to the organizers of the fate of the composition contest

«Every country chooses the song and the artist, and we have no right to criticize it, – said Lazarev. – Only the organizers of the competition may decide not to allow some of the participants in the event will be revealed serious violations of the rules »

EMU does not usually check the countries of the composition for the presence of prohibited content rules.. The Executive Body of the organization draws attention to the song only if there is a scandal around her, and at the international level. So it was, for example, in 2009, when Georgia tried to send to the competition group “Stephane and 3G» with the song «We Do not Wanna Put In»; EMU asked to change the word, but the Georgian organizers in response to quite abandoned the trip to the competition (he was held in Moscow). In 2015, we tested a lyrical composition of Armenian sextet «Face the Shadow». And check “1944″ EMU began after a series of publications in the Western media – for example, Deutsche Welle and The Guardian

The very Jamal (which has a Crimean Tatar roots) shortly after his victory at the national selection announced. that in “1944,” there is no policy. In addition, she said, that may change the text of the song – but not because he is someone does not like it, but because she is dissatisfied with them. However, the time to do this, it is not much – EMU completes the acceptance of applications by the participating countries already March 16
