Last update: 5 hours agoEurovision in Vienna: The 70th Eurovision grand final played out under tight security and rainy weather, with pop and protests running side by side. Israel’s Noam Bettan finished second overall, scoring 222 points in the popular vote and 343 total, despite boycott calls and earlier pro-Palestinian disruptions that saw four spectators removed during the week. Moldova in the spotlight: Moldova’s act was among the jury boosts for Israel, and “Viva Moldova” remains a fan favorite tied to a pro-European message. EU culture on the ground: Soroca opened an “European Village” for Europe Day, with EU embassies running games, food, and an Energy Resilience Pavilion. Water and resilience: Moldova is moving ahead with irrigation rehabilitation—French funding plus EU support for systems in Călinești and Criulenii de Sus—aimed at expanding irrigated land and stabilizing yields.
