Art and Politics
In the morning the ship returns from Spain and again takes its drifting position outside of Figueira da Foz. The two Dutch parliamentarians visit the Borndiep. Lousewies van der Laan states to the press that she had thought that Portugal would have been able to handle a democratic debate and that she is surprised that instead the government does not the ship to enter.
K. Arib tells the press that the ships activities are legal and that it is a scandal that the Portuguese has send war ships.
In the afternoon there is an artists workshop in the harbor. There are around 50 participants. Several Portuguese writers, painters and musicians speak and perform.
The context of the problems caused by illegal abortion is much broader because the right to choose concerns the most basic human right; to be able to control our own minds and bodies and this is linked very closely with all forms of artistic expression as well. We believe that art can address and break taboos and help create social change.
