”S.O.S REFUGEES” – The message of the Portuguese Eurovision winner

A message to support refugees was sent by this year’s Eurovision winner Salvador Sobral. Wearing a T-shirt that had the message “S.O.S. Refugees”, the contestant from Portugal showed his solidarity for refugees, calling for Europeans to do the same.

However, the Eurovision organization (EBU) banned the Portuguese competitor from wearing this particular t-shirt.

Salvador Sobral has worn the “S.O.S. Refugees” blouse on several occasions during this contest, but the EBU has forbidden to wear it on the day of the big final and during the voting.

The EBU claims that the singer puts forward a “political message” that runs counter to the rules of the contest, which does not allow political positions.
