Such was the commotion caused by the controversial decision in the most disparate spheres that this Sunday RTVE has issued a statement in which it assures “be aware of the controversy about the process to choose the song that represents Spain in Eurovision”, which he considers “positive”. “In this context, RTVE has decided open a participatory dialogue to improve, for future editions, the entire Benidorm Fest process and create a television program to promote Spanish music. A project open to all the contestants of this first edition of the Benidorm Fest”, continues the public television statement to get out of trouble.
Colau’s vote
The mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, He posted an image with the singer on his Instagram account along with a statement explaining why his vote would go to the Barcelonan. “Ay mama is a tribute to our mothers, grandmothers and sisters, to those women who sustain life day by day, whether breastfeeding or feeding us with that broth in the fridge. Long live this well-deserved anthem dedicated to all those without whom the system would collapse, who, however, do not appear in the history books,” the mayor wrote.

One of the most repeated messages on the networks after knowing the verdict of the jury was to confirm that indeed, yes, women’s breasts are still scary, as the lyrics of the hit of the also author of ‘Bitch’, another feminist anthem of the exTheMamzelles.
Another thing that the majority of those who are disenchanted with the Festival agreed on is that, despite the fact that they will not go to Eurovision, the songs of Rigoberta Bandini-and also that of the Galician Tanxugueiras- are already songs that are part of a generation of women who have said enough is enough. “Thank you for all the wonderful buzz you have created. I can’t wait to continue enjoying you,” said the singer. Rozalen.

The verses of the song Bandini They filled the networks for hours, declaring her the legitimate winner regardless of what the jury (and the Eurovision machinery) thought. How could it be otherwise, one of the most shared fragments was the already mythical “let’s stop the city” from the chorus of the catchy song. A nod to the desire to go out into the street to show their indignation at what for many was a “missed opportunity” to show “another Spain”.
We could have stopped Europe showing a tit in the pure Delacroix style. We could have taken the Galician Terra beyond its borders. But let’s bring a song that says “I just do doom doom with my boom boom and I have him zoom, zoom & rdquor ;. Don’t fuck with me.
