An explosive performance. Switzerland won the Eurovision 2024 contest this Saturday, May 11 in Malmö, Sweden, thanks to Nemo, who performed brilliantly The code, a very personal song about being non-binary.
“I hope that this contest can continue to promote peace and dignity for all,” said the 24-year-old artist, who scored 591 points, giving the small Alpine country its third crown.
France in 4th place
Switzerland did not win the song contest that has been organized every year in the Old Continent since 1988 and don’t go without meplayed by a certain Céline Dion.
As tradition predicts, Switzerland will host the next edition of Eurovision, in 2025.
This coronation closes a competition marked by controversies, particularly over Israel’s participation. The representative of the Jewish State was hissed and booed when she took the stage. Thousands of people called for a boycott of Eurovision to denounce the Israeli response in the Gaza Strip since October 7 and the Hamas attacks.

Regarding the classification, the podium is completed by Croatia and Ukraine. France is in fourth place. Her representative, Slimane, gave a magnificent performance interpreting her title. My love.
