Lyrisia and the Plastics Mafia
Due to the heated rivalry between the Plastics Broadcasting Association and the Plastics Mafia with whom the Government of Lyrisia is allegedly involved with, specifically Illen Tulvine, the PBA launched an investigation to try and find evidence against the country as they suspected them of being involved in criminal activities. However, the broadcasting association could not find any concrete evidence other than the fact that one leading light in the mafia Turbo-Bitch was hiding in the Lyrisian Highlands and there was no evidence of a connection with her and the Lyrisian Government. Because of this, The PBA were forced to drop the allegations for the time being as they had no basis to prosecute the government or the national broadcaster of Lyrisia - Radio Televizija Lajrisija

Ayőlűlék: 69 Points
After the semi-final qualifiers were announced, it was revealed that Sandra Afrika - the represenrative of Ayőlűlék - had received 69 points. Due to the nature of her song, many considered her score to be rigged as it would have been almost impossible to get this combination even if the event were planned. The PBA dismissed all claims that the results have been rigged, however, many are not satisfied with the statement from the PBA believing there is significant evidence which leads to the Plastics Mafia.
