The info on Breyer’s page is from July 11. There are two countries listet in opposition. Germany and Poland. I’m not sure if that won’t change for Germany :/
Expect readers of Astérix to flex the proverbs they learned.
As far as I’ve read there were four towns that applied for hosting the event. Montreux wasn’t among them. They might not have been interested. They have the Jazz Festival and I guess that takes a lot of capacity.
