Poland’s national broadcaster TVP has reaffirmed it will take part at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026. It comes amid pressure on the broadcaster to withdraw from the competition in the wake of Israel’s inclusion.
Poland “offering opportunity” for music
In a statement given to Polish news outlet Gazeta, TVP confirmed that it would indeed be participating in next year’s competition in Vienna. The statement read:
We are aware of the scale of tension surrounding the upcoming edition. We understand the emotions and concerns. However, we believe that Eurovision still has a chance to once again become a space filled with music. And only music. We, like the overwhelming majority of EBU members, are offering this opportunity.
TVP had originally confirmed its participation in November, but came under increasing pressure following the controversial vote to approve voting reforms — and in turn, keep Israel in the Contest. Poland’s culture minister had also called on TVP to reconsider their position. However, on Wednesday (December 10th), the channel confirmed its position on the list of participating countries.
