“My generation has to live with the consequences of decisions we didn’t make,” Forrer told SRF. “It’s frustrating, but I have hope, nevertheless, that change is possible.”
The semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest take place on May 9 and 11. It will then be known whether Remo Forrer’s song qualifies for the grand final on Saturday May 13. The event is being held in the UK, which is replacing last year’s winner Ukraine as organiser, owing to the war.
