Moldova will not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. Representatives of the TeleRadio-Moldova (TRM) television and radio company announced this at a press conference in Chisinau on January 22.
"The decision was not easy, but it was necessary under the current conditions. This year's national election revealed certain problems, including the decline of public interest and the general quality of art numbers. This led to a negative perception among professionals and the public, highlighting the need for a radical reform of the election process," said Moldova 1 TV channel director Corneliu Durnescu.
