80 extreme right men attacked a demonstration of anti-govt, anti-ban on abortion and pro #WomensRights last night in #Wrocław, #Poland. Experts fear more clashes the coming days as retorics are being sharpened and the country's leadership is not trying to diffuse the division.

Unseen in #Poland before: police has cordoned off several churches in the cities the past couple of days. Many Polish hold the Polish Catholic Church organisation - who has chosen not to listen the Pope anymore - co-responsible for the new abortion ban and supression kf women.

Moment of truth for #Sweden: #COVID19 back to last week of March. Almost 60 on intensive care, more than 400 in hospital. Will the country be able to fend off more than 5,500 deaths in this 2nd wave?

About me

In 2006 I left my family, friends and the security of a relatively steady editorial job in the Netherlands to move to Sweden, for love. A heartbreak later I’m still around – having crisscrossed like crazy through my new land to make a travel guide book, adding a new career as a language teacher at elementary and lower secondary schools, becoming a freelance Scandinavia correspondent & fixer for Belgian and Dutch media. From Sweden I pop across the Baltic Sea, often to Poland where I sometimes live and work from.
