Eurovision winner Nemo hits out at 'double standard'

Nemo impressed the jury and the public with their performance of “The Code” during the 2024 ceremony that took place in Malmo, Sweden.

This year’s contest has been one of the most controversial in Eurovision history thanks to the involvement of Israel, which led to pro-Palestine demonstrations outside the arena, and the disqualification of Netherlands act Joost Klein hours before he was due to perform.

The fact that audience members were told they were not allowed to bring non-binary flags into the arena brought criticism from Nemo in a press conference after winning.
