Absolutely crazy that they are considering Joost Klein for another go. He has already demonstrated he can't handle the pressure from the press. He had his chance and he blew it.
It wasn't his fault the delagation told the Swedish broadcaster when he was not supposed to be filmed. The Swedes effed up not him and I'm still not convinced a certain delagation weren't stirring the pot there, they seemed very happy with the DQ.
I'm glad the Netherlands are back. They are an original participation country. A boycott would have done no good whatsoever - they made their point by holding out for safeguards. I do think that the Dutch are owed a ticket straight to the final as an apology if not this year then maybe when Joost returns. They need to kick out a certain country too but there are financial considerations there.

I am pleased that the Netherlands are staying but im glad that its not joost klein but i hope he come back at some point
I think he made the right choice to step away from 2025. Maybe he will return in a few years but it is now time to move forward.
Sensible choice from Joost. But I am glad the Netherlands are back.
I hoped our country would not return to the festival for 2025!
