The Eurovision final started surrounded by controversy after the rallies against Israel’s participation and the disqualification of the Netherlands for an “incident” with a person from the production. Already in the first parade of the contestants across the stage there was at least a nod to the war situation that is ravaging Palestine.
In a clear tone of denunciation, the representative of Portugal, the artist Iolanda, has paraded with a black design, constructed from an embroidered bodysuit with transparencies and a sarong-type skirt that belongs to a Palestinian brand.
The style, designed by the Trashy Clothing brand, has spoken for the artist, who has paraded with a serious pose, evidencing her position regarding Israel’s participation in the great contest and has broken the rules by carrying out this political complaint on stage.
Internet users were quick to echo Iolanda’s wink and her first look of the night went viral in a matter of minutes. Her nod to the Palestinian has sparked thousands of comments, many of them applauding her gesture and rejecting Israel’s participation.
