Switzerland winner Nemo says Eurovision furore made them really sad

The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest winner Nemo Mettler has said that they were “really sad” during the competition following the chaotic scenes and protests. The non-binary singer, 24, in a pink skirt and fluffy jumper, balanced on a tipping metal disc as they sang their opera-dance blend track The Code on Saturday evening in Malmo, Sweden. The competition has been mired in controversy surrounding the participation of Israel’s Eden Golan, and a large group of demonstrators were outside Malmo Arena as the acts performed. Nemo told the Eurovision press conference: “I have to say this whole experience was really intense, and not just pleasant all the way. “There were a lot of things that didn’t seem like it was all about love and unity. And that made me really sad and at the same time… there was so much love here as well.“ Watch more on Independent TV: Click here to subscribe to The Independent:
