Cyprus Eurovision Song Causes Big Talk

A big problem is happening about Cyprus's song for Eurovision 2026. Many important people want the song "JALLA" and its video gone. These forty people are leaders and teachers. They think the song shows a bad picture of Cyprus. This makes people wonder how the country looks.

A letter was sent on February 10, 2026. It went to the TV station CyBC. The letter said the song and video were bad for Cyprus. The video showed young people doing dangerous things on mopeds. Critics think this is not good for the country.

Thanasis Tsokos leads CyBC. He said Eurovision is a fun event. He also said people liked the song online. CyBC made changes. They took out the dangerous driving parts.

This problem shows different ideas. Some people think about art. Others think about showing the country well. Critics say it is about what is right. CyBC thinks the song shows old and new Cyprus. They changed the video to stop problems. This will make people talk more.
