It's over, Jesús Ortiz has broken his silence and has reappeared publicly with an important message. The father of Queen Letizia has shared his vision on one of the hottest topics of the moment: Eurovision. The 2025 edition of the contest has been one of the most controversial and talked about in recent years, and his intervention will go unnoticed.

In a moment of social and political turmoil due to Israel's near victory and Melody's poor result as Spain's representative, Jesús Ortiz has decided to express his opinion. On his social media, he surprised with a lucid, ironic, and deeply reflective analysis. What has motivated this unexpected intervention from the queen's father?

Eurovision 2025, at the center of national debate

Spain's participation in Eurovision 2025 has left no one indifferent. The representation by Melody was received with great expectations that ended in disappointment. Her performance failed to climb in the rankings and was relegated to a position considered humiliating by many festival followers.

The problem was not just the final position, but the general atmosphere of the contest. The controversy erupted after Israel's near triumph, whose presence in the competition was highly questioned. Protests on social media and discussions among politicians, artists, and citizens quickly broke out.

Spain, in fact, was one of the first countries to suggest that future participation in the festival needed to be reconsidered. In that atmosphere of tension and uncertainty, which went beyond the purely musical, Jesús Ortiz, father of Queen Letizia, has burst in with an intervention that has drawn significant attention.

The father of Queen Letizia replied to a user on X who declared themselves perplexed by a festival where "neither the musicians nor the music seem to be the protagonists." To which Ortiz replied with sharp irony: "It must be the musical equivalent of ultra-processed food on the table".

The exchange continued with a deeper analysis of those artists who indeed managed to build successful musical careers after their participation in Eurovision. A user mentioned ABBA, whose triumph in 1974 catapulted the Swedish group to international stardom. Meanwhile, Jesús Ortiz mentioned Céline Dion, who represented Switzerland in 1988 before becoming one of the most recognized voices.

"I was responding to making a lot of money after participating in the festival. In that second line, we can also include Gigliola Cinquetti, Sandie Shaw... I don't know of more," he added to another comment.

After this, the journalist admitted his disconnection from the festival starting in the nineties, a period many consider the turning point toward the commercialization of the event. "Of course, from the 90s, I disconnected from Eurovision, so my opinion isn't worth even a televote", he joked.

With this message, Jesús Ortiz has delivered a strong message that reflects the sentiment of many: Eurovision no longer excites as it used to. The intervention of Queen Letizia's father, full of analysis, irony, and perspective, has put words to the collective disenchantment. Could this be the beginning of a definitive break between Spain and the European festival?
