The last issue of Ny Tid had as its main topic “Vänstern & Kyrkan”, and indeed it included quite a number of contributions to this topic. But I find that what I am going to write does not fit as a comment to any one of those articles, which is the reason why I am writing it to this blog.

On 18.06.19 HBL had on p.6 a report about the ongoing conference in Gullranda, where this year Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Bundespräsident of Germany, is a guest of honour.

In HBL of 8.06.2019 there was a long article titled “Utländska krafter lobbar mot abort i Europa”. The article points to a rather secretive but well-financed and widely-connected organization which is trying not only to make abortions illegal in Europe but also such things as assisted fertilization, uncomplicated divorces and protection of women against violence. Its name is reported as “Agenda Europe”.

The term “Sitzarsch” is a German word and it refers to some people’s talent to sit for unlimited amounts of time in some, e.g., negotiations. And the idea to write about this came to my mind when seeing a few days ago a picture of Li Andersson who had just come out from Ständerhuset – she looked pretty exhausted.
