Por cierto, que yo nunca creí:
It is renowned for having one of the most tortuous electoral systems known to voters. Now the Eurovision song contest is itself in danger of receiving nul points after allegations of vote-fixing and bribery.
Officials from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organises the annual event, confirmed yesterday that it was investigating claims that jury members were offered bribes to vote.
The accusations were made in Swedish press reports, which cited an anonymous delegation member involved in this year’s contest held in Malmo, Sweden. According to the source, attempts were made by several delegates to fix votes. Azerbaijan, the source claims, tried to buy high scores from jury members with “enough money to live off for a year”.
Leed lo que cuenta The Independent, aunque sea para desengrasar.
Seguro que en el COI -conocida es la afición de algunos de sus miembros al almuerzo con Möet & Chandon- es del todo imposible que pasara algo semejante.
Todos los jurados de estos eventos, son susceptibles de ser sobornados, el problema no es el soborno sino los sobornables. Qué curioso, pasa lo mismo entre Eurovisión y el Gobierno español. ¿Será que están al mismo nivel? ¿será que les importa lo mismo la opinión pública? ¿será que sus componentes son igual de frikis?
Dejó de ser creíble desde el momento en que Israel forma parte del mismo.
