“A threatening movement”

Joost Klein was disqualified on Saturday for making a “threatening movement” towards a cameraman, Dutch broadcaster Avrotros explained. The candidate did not want to be filmed when he made this “threatening movement” in the direction of the cameraman. “Joost did not touch the cameraman,” the press release insists.

“Several solutions” were proposed to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which “however decided to disqualify Joost Klein,” lamented Avrotros, calling the sanction “very serious and disproportionate.” The EBU, which supervises the contest, justified its decision by opening an investigation by the Swedish police.
