Swiss artist Nemo wins the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest with 'The Code', becoming the first non-binary winner and securing Switzerland's first victory since Celine Dion in 1988.

Nemo's performance, featuring a stage illusion controlled by stagehands, is part of a contest marred by political tensions and protests, particularly against Israel's participation amidst the Gaza conflict.

Israeli contestant Eden Golan faces heightened security and protests, while Israel's public vote performance suggests political undercurrents in the voting process.

The European Union criticizes the ban of its flag from the concert hall, with Vice President Margaritis Schinas expressing concern over European unity, and plans to discuss the issue with the organizers.

The event, overshadowed by the flag ban and political protests, also sees the disqualification of the Dutch contestant.

The European Broadcasting Union commits to reviewing flag display rules for the next Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland in 2025.

Following the victory, Nemo plans a break before returning to music, while German contestant Isaak looks ahead to participating in ESC 2025.
