Ukraine is in the middle of a war and Europe shows him a supportive side of tambourine, goat and trumpet by letting him win Eurovision with a tiny song called Stefania with the band Kalush Orchestra.

In no case has it been a political victory, it has won because of the sorrow of society, which has wanted to cleanse their consciences by giving alms to a television pay phone. There is nothing more European than crying for others and showing their flags to make us forgive the sins of our prosperity in the face of their misfortune.

It's a music contest and they turned it into a tribute to a country at war. Tremendous. It is as if the Scottish national football team turned up for the World Cup qualifying play-off match in Qatar against Ukraine, scoring three own goals in solidarity with the people at war. (A terrible curiosity: the Spanish televote was one of the few in Europe that did not give the twelve points to Ukraine.)

It's curious Eurovision: a wild number of people did not understand the jury of the Benidorm Fest, who sent Rigoberta Bandini's song to all the clubs, but eliminated it from the festival. Twitter was filled with insults, criticism and death threats to Chanel and the jury for choosing a laboratory song against the brazen proposal of Bandini's boobs. The Spain that manifests itself on Twitter settled in the front row of the sofa to make a bundle and pile up tweets to change what was chosen (even Podemos, the BNG and CC.OO. asked to annul Chanel's victory). It is the mass that we change our opinion, it depends on the day and the winning horse. Few remember the infernal noise of Benidorm and how Chanel, a woman with a history of overcoming novels, had to navigate an intolerable minefield (revealing the musical thread that former manager Josep Manuel Silva wrote on January 30 about why Chanel was the chosen one).

It's just a music festival, indeed, but the unleashed passion reminds us of a soccer game with too much hooliganism, swearing-in patriotism and a hypocritical solidarity that makes us vote for Ukraine and then curse the system and, of course, leaving it with mold and abandoned mom's broth in the fridge.
