French Singer and competitor in the Eurovision Song Contest, Bilal Hassani, is the target of controversy after a posting a video on Twitter. The singer mocked the terrorist attacks on Paris in a video posted in July last year.

Following the reappearance of this video, Senator LR Henri Leroy wrote on Twitter on Saturday: “as a member of the Eurovision French jury to intervene for Bilal Hassani to be withdrawn from the competition ... I ask you to intervene so that Bilal Hassani be removed from the list your competition. This individual is a sad example for our youth and encourages the trivialization of terrorism.”
