Turns out that Bavaria's broadcaster is responsible for EBU matters within Germany's ARD network.

BR's director-general Katja Wildermuth:
"The [ESC] has remained so successful over many decades, which were anything but apolitical, because it has always followed the motto ‘United by Music’." (1/x)
Finally an official statement of Germany's broadcaster ARD on #Eurovision.

Christine Strobl, Head of Programming:
"I welcome the EBU's decision to hold a face-to-face meeting in December to discuss how to deal with Israel's participation and uphold the values of this competition." (1/x)
