In arguably one of the most controversial years in Eurovision history, Switzerland‘s act, Nemo, criticized the song contest organizers’ “double standards” moments after their victory.
Nemo won Eurovision on Saturday (May 11) in Malmö, Sweden, with their song The Code, making history as the contest’s first-ever non-binary winner. The song also marked Switzerland’s first Eurovision win since 1988, when Céline Dion competed with Ne partez pas sans moi.
