AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoEurovision Finale Shock: Bulgaria just won Eurovision 2026 in Vienna—Dara’s “Bangaranga” took both jury and public votes, a first-ever win for the country and a big relief for organizers who feared a tougher 2027 hosting debate if Israel had won. Boycott Fallout: The night still carried the Gaza-era backlash: five countries (including Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Iceland) boycotted over Israel’s participation, and protests spilled into the arena, including “stop the genocide” chants and a protester being removed by security. San Marino Spotlight: San Marino’s entry “Superstar,” featuring guest vocals by Boy George, missed the final—despite the star power and plenty of attention. Local Governance & Budgets: In California, Senator Sasha Renée Pérez’s insurance-focused bills advanced after Senate Appropriations approval, while she praised parts of Governor Newsom’s May budget revision and flagged missing support for the Middle Class Scholarship. San Marino Maritime: San Marino also received IMO recognition for full STCW implementation, reinforcing its push for stronger maritime training and certification standards.
