RTVE president proposes Spain stay out of Eurovision 2027 over Israel's participation
José Pablo López says the main condition for Spain's return—Israel's expulsion—has not been met.
What to know
- RTVE's president will recommend the corporation's board continue Spain's Eurovision suspension in 2027 because Israel's public broadcaster has not been expelled from the competition.
- While RTVE secured reforms including stricter governance rules and an end to Israeli company sponsorships, López emphasized these do not meet the core condition for Spain's return.
- The final decision rests with RTVE's administrative council, as it did for the 2026 boycott.

background
RTVE secured partial governance reforms from Eurovision organizers — Since Vienna 2026, RTVE has negotiated changes including an end to Israeli company Moroccanoil's sponsorship and new rules preventing countries in conflict from hosting if they win the competition. These reforms were presented as technical advances achieved through RTVE's pressure on the European Broadcasting Union.
