Description
This collection is for my fine for petty vandalism of the Sweden Democrats' polling station in the EU elections, May 2024, of 13000 SEK.
You can read about how I got these below.
Helping me with these is the same as supporting humanity, inclusion and diversity. Concepts that are under threat these days.
In May 2024, I walked past the Sweden Democrats' polling station. I thought about how they spread fear and how their roots come from Nazism. How they celebrated Nazism. The next morning I left early for the train. No-one was to be seen in the square. I took up my felt-tip pen and drew the swastika on the blue hut. When I arrived that day, they had removed the swastika. I drew it there again. Someone shouted behind me. It was a Sweden Democrat. He reported me to the police. In the hearing, the interrogator presented the evidence of minor vandalism. Two swastikas were drawn on the picture. One was the wrong way round. The person who reported me had drawn an extra cross to make the vandalism worse and had not managed to get the swastika right. I admitted that I had drawn a swastika and thought that "this can't be a conviction considering that he drew on his own cottage", but a few weeks later the penalty notice came and I was fined SEK 13,000. That's the amount I'm now starting a collection for. I will also have two mini-festivals in my big apartment to raise money for these fines. One on 22 February and one on 31 May. You are very welcome to attend. There will be music of various kinds, poetry readings and art on the walls, and there will be refreshments at cost price. Once again, a warm welcome!
