Salvador Sobral's political message
After Portugal's representative, Salvador Sobral, wore a jumper with the title "S.O.S Refugees" printed on it at the First Semi-Final Winners press conference, the EBU ordered a ban so that he could not wear it for the remainder of the contest. At the conference, Sobral explained the message behind the jumper was to encourage Italy, Greece, and Turkey to open their borders for refugees.[174] The EBU explained that Sobral's jumper was used as a means of "political message," which violates the rules of the contest.[174] However, Sobral argued in his winning press conference that it was not political, but a message of humanitarianism.
