Bacho secures sponsor for Eurovision, awaiting TRM approval
Bacho & Carnival Brain have released a statement regarding the cancellation of Etapa Nationala and Moldova’s withdrawal from Eurovision 2025 where he explains that he received a sponsorship offer which would cover all the expenses related to the trip to Eurovision.
“We deeply regret that all the artists who participated in the live auditions were labeled as low-quality artists by the TRM Director, Cornel Durnescu, publicly devaluing the creative work of each participant – which is unacceptable.
We would like to refute the rumours that we had any discussions with any TRM representative. We are sorry that such information has been spread online. Additionally, we want to emphasise that our song Semafoare received great appreciation on European Eurovision platforms and has become one of the fan favourite songs for Eurovision.
Today our team received a sponsorship offer. They are offering financial assistance to cover all expenses related to the trip to Eurovision as they are invested in ensuring Moldova presents itself positively on the global stage during this milestone 205h anniversary of participation. In turn, we are ready to represent our country with dignity at Eurovision, considering that no one has yet seen our stage show concept which plays a big role in the artistic image, which we haven’t had the chance to present to the public in this year’s final!
We are awaiting a response from TRM team representatives. So, let’s give the green light to Semafoare this year and show that Moldova can rely on its young artists.”
This statement comes after years of rumours that artists representing Moldova must fund their Eurovision participation themselves since the broadcaster is not ready to financially aid the participation of the country.
It is not yet clear if the repercussions of Moldova’s withdrawal are permanent and irreversible or if there is a chance that Bacho & Carnival Brain can represent Moldova with ‘Semafoare.’
We can only wait and hopefully find out in the coming days.

If there is a time for TRM to listen to artists, it’s now. This is a win/win situation, TAKE IT TRM, TAKE IT!!!
