A long-term strategy for Spain’s Junior Eurovision participation
In the interview, MarÃa Eizaguirre mentioned that this is a beginning of a long-term strategy to increase the interest of the Spanish audience in Junior Eurovision and that they are looking for different ways to promote the contest to the audience for future editions.

Spain’s Junior Eurovision Journey
In 2003, Spain was one of the countries to participate in the inaugural edition of the competition with Sergio and the song “Desde el cielo”, and placed 2nd with 125 points. The year after, Spain managed to win the competition with MarÃa Isabel and the song “Antes muerta que sencilla”. The nation participated for two more years and took a 12-year break, where it returned in 2019, with Melani Garcia and her entry “Marte” which placed 3rd.
Spain’s recent attempt in the competition saw them internally select Levi DÃaz and the song “ReÃr“, which saw them finish 15th after scoring 77 points from the jury and the online vote.
