The Netherlands' track Europapa is one of the most memorable of the show and was described by one critic as "so bad" it will "put you off music forever". The EBU, which organises Eurovision, says it is investigating an unexplained incident.
I dont think EBU will update this with an honest comment before the song contest is over. Maybe some vague excuse at the show and a week later release a post about it in some obscure corner of their website
I think it will be resolved shortly, definitely after the contest. Even in the past where the EBU has been intransparent (e.g. with the invalidated corrupt jury votes), it got pretty clear afterwards what happened. But I guess we’ll see.
I mean, to this date they never released any details about the 2022 ban on Russia’s entry and left the vague statement they originally put out. And their statements about the jury fraud afterwards didnt go into detail either. So maybe we’ll not even get a proper comment afterwards.

That seems like a credible source. But there’s still almost no certified information to what exactly happened.
