Eurovision winner Nemo hits out at organisers over 'unbelievable double standard'

Switzerland's Eurovision winner Nemo criticized the contest organizers for an "unbelievable double standard" regarding non-binary representation, shortly after their victory in Malmo, Sweden. Nemo, who performed "The Code," became the first-ever non-binary winner of the contest. They expressed frustration over the prohibition of non-binary flags at the event, revealing they had to smuggle their own flag into the arena.

The 2024 Eurovision was marked by controversy, including pro-Palestine protests and the last-minute disqualification of the Dutch entry. Despite these issues, Nemo called for more compassion and empathy, dedicating their win to those "daring to be themselves." The event also saw significant points awarded to Croatia, Ukraine, France, and Israel, despite mixed reactions from the audience.
