“For example, we gathered bulletproof vests for the attack, we asked for them for the attack and they gave us the vests, because in Sweden, Switzerland, those who are doing military service take the weapon to the house and also life jackets and those things ”, He detailed.
However, he explained that “when we started ordering vests it was amazing, they arrived at twenty, thirty, forty. And there was a group from the Front that was picking them up and taking them where they belonged, I stopped my work there”, He complemented.
In any case, he did play another role, making the group’s activity known during some musical presentations. “We decided that we had to use the fact that it brought together a lot of people and then I made a speech for half an hour, forty minutes, explaining why we did it for people who didn’t catch very well, and after that we sang ”.
