  • Benidorm Fest 2022 Chanel to Eurovision, what a mistake, what a big mistake

RTVE has defended this Sunday in a statement the voting system of the Benidorm Fest, a contest that held its final gala this Saturday and that announced the representative of Spain to the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, a mechanism that was highly criticized on social networks.

"In any competitive contest, there are many people who do not see their expectations fulfilled. In any case, the greatness of any competition consists in fully accepting the rules to their ultimate consequences", the public corporation has pointed out.

The artist Chanel was the winner of the festival with her song 'SloMo', after the professional jury gave her the maximum points.

According to the voting mechanics of the festival, 50% of the vote is decided by the professional jury, while the other 50% is from the demographic audience (25%) and televoting (25%).

The

Tanxugueiras

group was the one that obtained the most points both for the demographic vote and for the televoting modality, being the favorites of the night, along with

Rigoberta Bandini,

a few points behind the trio of Galicians.

In the statement,

RTVE admits to being "aware" of the "controversy"

over the process to choose the song that will represent Spain in Eurovision, but considers the experience "positive".

In fact, he has assured that "he maintains his firm commitment to Spanish music" and that he has already put "all his energy" into promoting the Spanish candidacy for Eurovision in Europe.

"Aside from debates,

the most important thing at the moment is to support Chanel together

," he said.

Although, as a result of the controversy generated, RTVE has decided

"to open a participatory dialogue to improve, for future editions

, the entire Benidorm Fest process" and, secondly, to create a television program to promote Spanish music .

Said project, whose

details will be announced in the "next few days",

will be open to all the contestants of the first edition of the Benidorm Fest.

"RTVE wants to thank the citizens for the support received and that has been reflected in the outstanding audience data. We extend our gratitude to the Generalitat Valenciana and its President, and to the Benidorm City Council and its Mayor", concludes the corporation.
