Moldova’s Eurovision 2025: From Doubts to Dreams in Basel

Moldova is tuning its strings for Basel 2025! After weeks of speculation and heated discussions about the value of their Eurovision journey, Teleradio-Moldova (TRM) has finally confirmed its participation in the upcoming contest. The news hit like a high note in a crescendo, sparking excitement among fans of the contest.

But why the hesitation in the first place? Moldova’s broadcaster is not working with the budget of Eurovision giants like Sweden or Italy. With just €7.3 million in 2019, TRM is one of the smallest broadcasters in the competition. However, size has never defined Moldova’s Eurovision spirit. This is the country that gifted us the meme-worthy, sax-blasting brilliance of Sunstroke Project’s “Hey Mamma!”, securing a well-deserved 3rd place in 2017.

Still, behind the glitter and sequins lies the grim reality of economics. Eurovision is a costly affair, and whether the event is worth the price tag has lingered over TRM. Yet, the passion of Moldova’s artists and the cultural pride of their Eurovision moments seem to have won the battle.

The official Eurovision.md page is already buzzing with an application link for hopefuls to submit their entries. Although the form isn’t live yet, one can almost hear the beats of Moldovan pop, folk, and experimental music simmering in anticipation.

What’s next? A national selection process will likely unveil a new wave of Moldovan talent. Basel may just be the stage for Moldova to prove, once again, that Eurovision is about heart, not wallet size.

So, who will carry Moldova’s flag this time? Another sax solo? A daring ballad? Or perhaps a fresh genre fusion? One thing is clear: this small country never fails to punch above its weight. Eurovision 2025, get ready for the Moldovan magic!.
