This time, the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), more politically charged than ever due to the situation in Israel and Gaza, almost entirely dominated an evening on ARD (Das Erste). Following an entertaining documentary celebrating 70 years of ESC, a lively, even tumultuous, discussion took place on the talk show «Hart aber Fair.»
It appears that for Hubert Aiwanger, the main takeaway from the politically charged discussion about the ESC was actually Conchita Wurst. The Austrian singer, who won the contest in 2014, was the subject of Aiwanger’s particular attention, diverting from the more pressing political aspects of the event.
