Hungary is considering a return to the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time since its withdrawal in 2019, according to a report by German Tagesschau.
The country originally withdrew under the right-wing Fidesz administration, which rejected the event’s perceived LGBT propaganda–a sentiment famously echoed by András Bencsik, editor-in-chief of Demokrata, who dismissed the competition as a “homosexual fleet parade.”
Hungary’s newly elected prime minister, Péter Magyar, recently declared, “Let’s compete in Eurovision,” adding that he would support the move if the decision falls within government jurisdiction.
