During former Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's Almedal speech last year arrested several FEMEN activists in Fredrik Reinfeldt's speech after being exposed breasts and tried to get up on stage.Swedish founder Jenny Wenhammar was one of those arrested but she was released later that night.
This year, she is back in Almedalen and tells how she was sought by several policemen during the Centre Party leader Annie Lööf's speech.
- I was sitting on the other side of the pond during the century. There were at least six pieces that surrounded me and sat down and asked if I knew them. I did not but they said they recognized me.They said they would sit there with me and asked some questions, she says.
What, they asked?
- They asked if something should happen, and when I replied that of course I would not answer it if it were not so, says Wenhammar.
Had you thought of doing something during the speech?
- The preamble true for me to watch and see how it works in a relaxed atmosphere for another time, she says.
Do you have any planned activity?
- I would not say.
Wenhammar previously been active in the Green Party, says she is in Visby mainly for personal reasons. She has nothing against police actions, but react to the security level.
- Actually, I think it is too low security here. No metal detectors, but it is based on their förkoll, she says.
Police confirm that "civilian units" contacted activists from FEMEN.
- We have met the activists but to encircle we have not done. But we have been out and talked to them and said hello and so on during treviga conditions, says Peter Matilainen, police chief Almedalen.
Why do you do it?
- FEMEN made after a rally last year and we know that they are here. Then we say hey, we are here we. There was nothing more to it, but it was a nice conversation, he says.
To prevent unauthorized get to the scene has various forms of security - both uniformed and civilian personnel.
Do you have indications that it will happen from Femens hold?
- Are they in place perhaps the thought of doing any kind of manifestation, and we must deal with it then. It could be a completely peaceful demonstration. Then we help them with it, he says.
