In a written statement, Gustav Lützhøft, Head of Culture, Debate, and Music at DR, underlined that Denmark supports Eurovision as a cultural event that has brought nations together through music since 1956. According to him, Denmark’s participation is contingent upon three factors: a strong international community within the contest, sufficient safety measures, and the preservation of Eurovision as an apolitical event:
Denmark’s participation is neither an endorsement of nor a protest against individual countries. Our commitment lies in upholding the sense of community that Eurovision represents. In times of division and uncertainty, it is worth remembering the contest’s original purpose: to create a space where people can meet across differences and disagreements. That is the spirit we wish to preserve.
