Chanel Terrero, the representative for Spain at Eurovision 2022, has made her position clear regarding Israel”s participation in the contest. Her comments come in the wake of the European Broadcasting Union (UER) canceling the voting that would determine whether Israel would take part in the event.
During a recent fashion event, Terrero did not hesitate to express her disapproval of Israel”s involvement. When asked about the ongoing boycott discussions, she responded firmly, stating, “I am not in favor, to be honest.” This response underscores her stance amid the larger conversation surrounding the contest and its international implications.
Terrero”s comments resonate particularly given her status as a prominent figure in the Eurovision community, where she achieved the highest score for Spain in decades. Additionally, she contributed to the voting process this year, further emphasizing her influence and visibility within the event.
