Daniel Frischknecht, the national president of Switzerland's evangelical EDU party, has voiced strong opposition to the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) set to take place in Basel in 2025. Frischknecht, a former drug addict turned politician, argues that the ESC has transformed from a simple music event into a political platform promoting non-traditional lifestyles.

He criticizes the event for allegedly censoring artists like Israeli singer Eden Golan and for showcasing performances he deems blasphemous.

Frischknecht's party is pushing for a referendum to challenge state support for the ESC, reflecting broader concerns about cultural shifts and the perceived erosion of traditional values in Switzerland.

Despite his criticisms, Frischknecht maintains that his opposition is not rooted in hate but in a desire to preserve what he sees as divine order.
