The winds of change
Hi there! I have been really busy the last months and since my operation I have been feeling quite well but a little off, like no energy. I think it is because I have a deficiency of vitamines and minerals, but I loose weight as I should and I have now 25 kg less on my back and I´m really happy about this!!!
I feel lighter but unfortunately I have problems with my right foot.
I know it has something to do with my emotional state but I don´t know what it is all about. Feet normaly take us to places, forward and are flexible, are smooth and they let us stand firm on the ground. All that is what I associate with feet and I thinkt that exactly is what I lack of, not consiously but still there is something in me that does not let me go forward.
Even though I´m in pain often this last 2 months I go to exercise and this sunday I will be going swimming, looking forward to this!!!
Ever since the elections in September we have the Swedish democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) in the parlament. It turned out that 13 % of the swedish citizens elected this rightwinged party straight to the parlament which I find very disturbing.
I have been able to not think about them, not to give them too much importance to them, I do not focuse on them by giving them my attention but there are some strong forces with an agenda that have been helpful to them and now for 2 weeks ago they had to vote on the budget for next year. The socialdemocrats together with the Greenparty had an budget that considered the retired people and the single parents a lot more than before but the Swedish democrats vote againt that and instead of lay down their votes they voted for the other sides budget with the threat to all parties in the parlament "if you do not negociate with us, we will bring you all down".
Now we have a left winged goverment who has to rule with a budget made from the right winged parties!
Now the prime minister has announced that we will have new elections in March of 2015! Everthing can happen!
Or the swedish people vote for a right winged goverment or a left winged.
I have lived in Sweden nearly all my life but this is the first time I´m really afraid of living in this country. This country is very good in many ways, it has a social safety net if you are ill or if you are unemployed. It is a country with a conscience and has been a save haven for many people from many different countries.
It was for me and my family too.
When I was only 8 I expirienced what it ment to hear bombs explode, people running through the streets, dead people floating in a river, to not know what will happen to your parents and to you.
My family had the luck to get out of there and to go to Germany at first but then we came to Sweden and here we have stayed. We work and pay taxes, our children were born here and they feel this is their country but now knowing that the Swedish democrats are gaining more and more popularity it scares them and the conversation has come up , should we get the hell out of here???
I don´t know, perhaps it is good for them to see something different and go to another country but this has been their home since birth.
Are they Swedish or not? I Sweden going to be a segregated state like Israel or South Africa? I hope not! Sweden is a great country and still is but the winds of change that are whistling is not music in my ears. It sounds more and more like Germany in the 1930s.
The Sweden I have know is disappearing.
