The sad news broke today that, unfortunately, Moldova has withdrawn from the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest and the Etapa Națională selection has been cancelled.
Despite having auditions and selecting 12 finalists for the Etapa Națională 2025 national selection, the broadcaster, TRM, has decided to pull out of the ESC 2025.
The director of Moldova 1 channel said about the stance “following a detailed analysis of the current situation, as well as the economic, administrative and artistic challenges. Etapa Națională 2025, had generated a negative perception…underlining the need for a substantial reform in the selection process”.
TRM will still broadcast the two semi-finals and grand final of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest.
