Moldova has announced that it will not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which is set to take place in Basel, Switzerland. This decision was revealed during a press conference held by representatives of the TeleRadio-Moldova (TRM) television and radio company on January 22.
Corneliu Durnescu, the director of Moldova 1 TV channel, explained that the decision was not made lightly but was deemed necessary given the current circumstances. He noted that the recent national election highlighted several issues, including a decline in public interest and concerns regarding the overall quality of artistic performances. These factors contributed to a negative perception among both professionals in the industry and the general public.
Durnescu emphasized the need for a radical reform of the selection process for Eurovision participants, indicating that the current system requires significant changes to restore confidence and enthusiasm for the competition. The decision reflects a broader commitment to improving the quality of representation in international events and addressing the challenges faced by the Moldovan music scene.
As a result, Moldova will be absent from the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, marking a significant shift in the country's participation in this popular cultural event.
