Rejected petition Debate Cymru's inability to boycott Eurovision participation.

Due to the continuing genocide in Gaza Israel’s inclusion in the Eurovision Song Contest is untenable. Five independent nations have withdrawn from the competition in protest.
But Cymru can’t! Shouldn't we be able to make that choice? Will the Senedd pass a resolution expressing dismay at the UKs continuing with its entry?
Discuss.

More details

Cymru does not participate in Eurovision despite being known as the ‘Land of Song’. Surely the Senedd should make it clear that if we had the choice, we would stand on the higher ground & withdraw?

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Neither Eurovision entry, nor the underlying issue, are matters for the Welsh Government.
