Spain's Eurovision boycott puts it 'on the right side of history': PM

Spain's boycott of Eurovision over Israel's war in Gaza puts it "on the right side of history," Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Friday, ahead the final in Austria.

"In the face of illegal war and also genocide, silence is not an option. And we cannot remain indifferent to what continues to happen in Gaza and in Lebanon," Sanchez said in a video message posted on X.

"This year, therefore, will indeed be different. We will not be in Vienna, but we will do so with the conviction that we are on the right side of history."
