Experten om hotet mot Eurovision: En självklar sockerbit för terrorister

Experten om hotet mot Eurovision: En självklar sockerbit för terrorister

Det som skulle bli en rockkonsert blev i stället den dödligaste attacken i Ryssland på närmare 20 år. Och det är just större evenemang som tenderar att locka terrorister att utföra dåd. Ett stort sådant som närmar sig är Eurovision Song Contest i Malmö som inleds den 7 maj. – Vi brukar säga att större sport- och kulturevenemang, olika typer av objekt av betydelse för Sveriges statsskick eller symbolvärlden, är det som normalt är utsatta. Eurovision är naturligtvis en sockerbit som har ett stort betydande värde, säger Jörgen Holmlund, lärare i underrättelseanalys vid Försvarshögskolan. ”Ingjuta allvarlig fruktan” Enligt honom förändrar fredagens terrordåd i Moskva inte den generella hotbilden mot Sverige. Men inför Eurovision finns nu en oro för liknande attacker. – Terroristernas intresse är att skapa och ingjuta allvarlig fruktan hos oss andra, men också skapa ett symbolvärde för sin egen kapacitet. Kan man angripa den typen av mål så visar det på statens svaghet och deras styrka. Samtidigt poängterar han att arrangörerna runt evenemanget, Malmö stad, polisen i Skåne och säkerhetspolisen är införstådda i de eventuella hot som finns mot tävlingen. – De är naturligtvis lika välmedvetna som du och jag om att det här är ett arbete som kräver förberedelser, både perimeterskött men också inne i området. Jag är helt övertygad om att det jobbet redan är påbörjat, säger han. Uppmanar till uppmärksamhet Vid tidigare attacker har överlevare och vittnen uppgett i efterhand att man gjort misstänkta iakttagelser, men valt att inte larma säkerhetspersonal av rädsla att felaktigt peka ut någon. Jens Holmlund nämner Ariana Grandes konsert i Manchester 2017 där över 20 människor dödades. – Avvikelser från sådant som är det normala måste rapporteras, så att underrättelse- och säkerhetstjänst samt polisen kan göra sitt jobb på ett bättre sätt. Vi alla är ögon och öron för att hjälpa till att skärpa den säkerheten i Malmö och runt det eventet. Även innan attacken i konserthuset Crocus har säkerheten varit i fokus – mycket på grund av Israels vara eller inte vara i tävlingen. ”Betydande demonstrationer” Den 7 mars meddelade Europeiska radio- och tv-unionen, EBU, att Israel får delta efter att deras låt, som ursprungligen gick under namnet ”October rain”, skrivits om och bytt namn. Jens Holmlund tror att det kommer att ske ”betydande demonstrationer” av olika slag. Samtidigt tror han inte att det kommer att ske något attentat. – Men jag tror att man ska ta till en ökad bevakning för att säkerställa att så också inte blir fallet, säger Jens Holmlund.

Vill stoppa Eurovision: "Satanism"

Vill stoppa Eurovision: "Satanism"

Förra året kammade ickebinära Nemo hem Schweiz första Eurovisionseger sedan 1988, då hette vinnaren Celine Dion. I och med vinsten hålls nästa års tävling i Basel – men det protestantiska och högerpopulistiska partiet EDU har andra planer. ”Destruktiva idéer” Enligt partiledaren Daniel Frischknecht handlar Eurovision om att sprida satanism, blasfemi och ”destruktiva idéer som det tredje könet”, skriver The Times. Han beskriver även tävlingen som en ”propagandaplattform för homosexuella” och framhåller det irländska bidraget ”Doomsday Blue” som ett tydligt inslag av ”satanism”. Därför vill de stoppa Basel från att arrangera tävlingen nästa år. Partiet uppger att man samlat in över 4 000 namnunderskrifter till en regional omröstning om huruvida skattebetalarna ska vara med och finansiera Eurovision. Enligt schweizisk lag räcker det med 2 000 underskrifter för att en sådan ska kunna hållas. Osannolikt att förslaget går igenom Men för de schweiziska Eurovisionfansen finns det lugnande besked. EDU:s två av totalt 200 platser i parlamentet innebär enligt The Times minimala chanser för att ett sådant förslag skulle gå igenom. Ett lån på 37,5 miljoner euro, motsvarande 430 miljoner kronor, för att finansiera tävlingen röstades igenom med en klar majoritet i september, skriver Bluewin.

Johan och Sebastian ska tvätta hela Globen ren

Johan och Sebastian ska tvätta hela Globen ren

Globen öppnade 1989 och är ett av Stockholms främsta landmärken. Den har stått värd för många konserter och idrottsmästerskap. Idag kallas den Avicii Arena. Första gången den tvättades var 2016 och då var det för första gången. Hela byggnaden skrubbades ren med hjälp av varmt vatten, hänglinor och tvättborstar inför att Stockholm skulle stå som värd för Eurovision Song Contest. De står för tvätten Senaste gången den 22 000 kvadratmeter stora fasaden tvättades var 2021. Nu har det blivit dags att skrubba arenan ren igen och det är en tuff utmaning. Två av de som ska göra jobbet är Johan Lernell och Sebastian Fallman. Det går väldigt bra faktiskt, vi rullar på enligt schema. Det flyter på väldigt bra, säger Sebastian Fallman. Kollegorna står på den nordöstra sidan av Avicii Arena. Den sidan är allra skitigast, då den vetter mot en väg. Just på nordsidan är det som smutsigast. Där är det extremt skitigt. Det ser renare ut på södra sidan, säger Sebastian Fallman. Största utmaningen Det här jobbet är inte något för höjdrädda. Det är varken Johan Lernell eller Sebastian Fallman. De beskriver det som en frihetskänsla att stå högst upp på taket och blicka ut över huvudstaden. Men det är ett tungt jobb. Man gör samma sak varje dag under ganska lång tid. Det är tunga moment och det är den största utmaningen. Vissa delar är svåra att komma åt också, säger Johan Lernell. Förhoppningen är att Avicii Arena, tidigare Globen, ska vara skinande ren i slutet av oktober. Hela processen beräknas ta drygt åtta veckor.

He was also a member of the Eurovision Reference Group for four years. His time as head of delegation came at a very turbulent period for Ireland at the contest and Eurovision itself. He oversaw many changes to Ireland's selection process and many changes to the contest with the introduction of semi-finals, the re-introduction of juries, and penalties for certain countries after rule breaks. Julian shares many fascinating stories with us, including his talks with the late Sinéad O'Connor to take part for Ireland in 2010. We also chat to Julian about his thoughts on Ireland's current position within Eurovision and what changes he would like to see in order to improve results going forward.

Protest, Eurovision and Showgirls

While we were busy being dazzled by glittery crowns and golden coaches…did the authorities sneak in and steal away our rights? New laws have given the police wide ranging powers to arrest protestors - scuppering the plans of anti-monarchy protestors to demonstrate against the Coronation. Instead they were arrested, detained and then released without charge - after the event was safely over. Nish and Coco ask barrister and activist Paul Powlesland  and ask what happened to the British love of freedom? Plus find out why a PSUK listener spent 15 hours outside his local polling station; why the Coronation gave Coco ‘Showgirls’ vibes; why Coco can't wait for Eurovision; and why Labour and the Lib Dems are in danger of being ‘vagina adjacent’. Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.uk. WhatsApp: 07514 644572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644572Audio credits:Paul PowleslandGood Morning Britain, ITVParliament.TVPhoto credits:Paul PowleslandVideo - Paul PowleslandPhotos - Tom GarnerVideo clip - Good Morning Britain, ITVVideo clip - Parliament.TV
