The Zurich City Council very much regrets that Zurich is no longer in the running to host the Eurovision Song Contest. "Zurich and the ESC - it would have been a perfect match," says Mayor Corine Mauch (SP).
The city council is disappointed with SRG's decision, the city announced. Many Zurich residents inside and outside of the city administration had put an enormous amount of energy and passion into the candidacy in recent weeks.
There was also support from politicians: the municipal council and cantonal council have already approved CHF 25 million for planning and implementation. The city now wants to analyze the reasons for the negative decision in detail.
