The absence of Blanca Paloma angers the networks

Even Spain’s own representative in Eurovision 2023 has shown that she agreed with her messages, liking it on said social network:
- “Of course Blanca Paloma also took Spain to the highest level of quality. The position did not depend on her, because she could not have done better. Her performance was spectacular and impeccable, one of the best in the history of Spain in Eurovision.”
- “It makes me extremely sad that Blanca Paloma is not going to perform in the final of the Benidorm Fest, with all the pride that she made us feel last year. It seems like an injustice to me.”
- “This is inexplicable. I believe that the best way to take care of the Benidorm Fest is to take care of its artists, and this is very far from taking care of the artists. Furthermore, Blanca has shown a lot of commitment and respect towards this format.”
- “Blanca of my loves, it doesn’t matter that you can’t offer us your wonderful voice again at the Benidorm Fest because we already know that you would be chosen again. And having said that, I’m looking forward to hearing your future album.”
- “This is not understood nor is there an easy explanation to understand. You deserve everything and we want to see you flying high again in that Palau.”
