Romania To Participate in Eurovision 2023

Romania will participate in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, held in the United Kingdom, according to Romanian broadcaster Romanian Television Society (TVR).

According to an official press release, Romania’s participation in the 67th Eurovision Song Contest was unanimously accepted by TVR’s Administrative Council. This follows years of controversy surrounding the nation’s competition results and a tumultuous relationship with the EBU.

Romania has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 22 times, but none of those appearances have resulted in a victory. Their best achievements are their two third-place finishes with “Let Me Try” by Luminita Anghel, Sistem in 2005 and “Playing With Fire” by Paula Seling and Ovi in 2010.

With “Llámame,” WRS returned Romania to the Grand Final in Turin in 2022 for the first time since 2017. His final standing was 18th with 65 points.

It’s worth reminding of the scandal at the end of the Eurovision 2022 competition, when Romania’s votes were stolen. The Romanian Television Society was shocked by the EBU’s decision to cancel Romania’s votes. In this case, it was not only Romania but other countries from the former communist bloc as well.

At the end of the competition, there was a big scandal, and many were dissatisfied, from what was observed in the opinion of the Romanian media. It seems that this humiliation does not prevent the Romanians from participating once more in this contest where music and talent do not matter.
