Last January, Moldova withdrew from Eurovision 2025
The main reason seems rooted in a decrease in the public interest, as well as in the quality of the submitted songs, and economic challenges.
The withdrawal was made during the preparations for Eurovision 2025, where 12 artists passed the auditions and were meant to participate in the national final.
Natalia Barbu represented Moldova in Eurovision 2024
She performed “In The Middle” and didn’t qualify for the final:
