Eurovision 2025: Marina Satti Absent from National Final

Marina Satti's absence from the Eurovision 2025 national final appears to be linked to her strained relations with ERT. Her absence has sparked numerous questions.

As the countdown begins for the national final of Eurovision, set for January 30th, details about the night's lineup are emerging. Although Elena Paparizou and Sakis Rouvas will host the event, last year's entrant, Marina Satti, will be notably missing. According to the show "You Haven't Seen Anything Yet," Marina Satti, who represented Greece last year, is not participating in the national final, neither to pass the baton to the next contestant nor for a symbolic appearance. Reports suggest this decision stems from ongoing tension with ERT since last year.

For the final night, out of 187 entries, only 12 songs have earned the chance to compete for the "golden" ticket to Switzerland, the contest's host country. Regardless of Marina Satti's absence, ERT guarantees an evening filled with surprises, music, and excitement.
