“There will be room for all genres and everybody who wants to enter the contest,” said Eva Mora who heads RTVE’s Eurovision delegation
“We want this preselection to have international impact,” Mora declared to television presenter Ion Arramendi .
“We want it to resemble – or to be better than – similar festivals in Italy, Sweden and Albania,” she continued. “We are building on solid, sturdy foundations but we must be like the Empire State building in New York and we have a long way to go.”
