The news talks about something that
happened on the 1st May in Sweden: Tess Asplund, a Swedish
woman, stood in front of a neonazi grup, confronting them while they
were doing a march. This took place in Borlänge, a city in Sweden,
and the march was organized by a political party which is against
immigration, the Nordic Resistance Movement.
A photographer, David Lagerlöf,
immortalized the moment in a photo that went viral and quickly spread
on the Internet, in which you can see Asplund rising her fist and
standing in front of three uniformed neonazis with a firm attitude.
The photographer took the photo and
after realizing how powerful it was he posted it on Twitter, after
what it became viral. That's when Tess Asplund fully realized what
she had done. She says that it was an impulsive act, that she didn't
even thought how dangerous it was. The woman states that now, after
the impulseveness that moved her, is still happy about what she did,
because it has showed to the world what is happing, and she is happy
to show that she is not okay with that. She hopes this photo makes
other people fight against this kind of marches and against racism,
just like she has been done for 26 years.
PERSONAL OPINION:
Even if it was an impulsive act, I
think this woman was very brave for doing what she did. I think it's
a shame that after all the nazis did during World War II, there is
people who still shares their ideology and exaltates the same values
they did, for example the violence. And I think now it is a problem,
because with the economic crisis we are living, the refugees
situation and other problems we are having in our society, this kind
of political parties are gaining everytime more popularity and
support.
That's why I really like the photo and
I think it's shoking and powerful, because it lets you see that there
is still people who fight against what they think it is wrong, even
if they are alone, like Tess. Because one little spark can start a
fire.
