An insider from the media group, who orchestrated the entire scene, says otherwise UT24: “I can’t help but say what I heard. And that is that Gabalier was said to have been paid to sing this song. Behind him are many dignitaries, from tourism professionals and Athese and hoteliers. Of course, they hope for something from everything. Because Gabalier is A good advertising medium. He himself doesn’t really care about the country – he just uses his face for it.”
Merkel first, now Gabaler?

What was most evident with the former German chancellor appears to have been at least more subtly arranged with Gabaler.
