Dozens of public figures on Monday called on state broadcasting corporation CyBC to withdraw Cyprus’ entry for the Eurovision song contest, arguing that both the song and its accompanying video clip present an “unacceptable image” of the country abroad.
In an open letter addressed to the president and board of directors of CyBC, 40 signatories said they viewed the song and video clip “with shock”, describing the participation as “insulting to Cypriot history, traditions and aesthetic”.
Justice Minister Costas Fitiris affirmed on Wednesday that developments are underway regarding allegations made publicly by Annie Alexui, stressing that any investigation must proceed through formal channels rather than by social media.
Taking to the dais on CyBC, Fitiris said the authorities intend to gather information “in an institutional manner” about the claims Alexui has raised online.
“Some actions are already being taken. The case cannot be substantiated through social media,” Fitiris stressed.
