Belarus = OUT

Belarus = OUT  and it seems we won't be seeing them for some time.

Belarus' intended participant was the band Galasy Zmesta and their song for Rotterdam was Ya Nauchu Tebya (Я научу тебя, I’ll Teach You). 

It may not come as a surprise but Galasy ZMesta (Галасы ЗМеста) are a pro government band who performed at pro Lukachenko rallies and made songs ridiculing the protesters.

The song is sung in Russian.

Oh well, here's the video (no it's not anymore) But it's still here at the bands own tube if you must. 

But this happened on March 11.

EBU gave them some time to come up with a new song, so far undisclosed, but  that was also rejected for political contentand Belarus is out of the 2021 competition. And they are kicked out of the EBU.

2020 Hopefuls VAL didn't get the president's approval for another attempt, but they don't approve of him either so....
