The jury of the Pole Spain tournament, an international pole dance competition, disqualified a Catalan group in mid-May for a performance they considered "inappropriate content", as reported by Eldiario.es. According to a statement published by the competition organization, they decided to eliminate the group from the competition because they used "a large Nazi symbol as the main element on stage along with performing Nazi salutes" during the performance. The jury argues that "these types of images can be deeply offensive and disturbing to many people", which is why they made "a collective decision taking into account the competition environment, the impact on the audience, and the event's standards". "We believe that the image used went beyond what was necessary to convey the narrative or artistic message of the performance," they add.
