🇵🇹 Portugal starts ‘selection’ Festival da Canção

Portugal selects their entry through Festival da Canção. However, this year most of the participants stated they will not represent Portugal, due to the participation of Israel. Only André Amaro and Bandidos do Cante will travel to Vienna. Sandrino’s opinion is not known yet.
