After having succeeded in canceling a concert by singer Anna von Hausswolff in Nantes on Tuesday.

Catholic extremists were once again talked about on Thursday.

The Swedish artist was to perform this Thursday evening at the church of Saint-Eustache in Paris as part of his European tour.

The priest clarified that he had received many emails very unfavorable to the concert and admits to having backed down on the programming after seeing the images of Nantes. At the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-port church in Nantes, a hundred fundamentalists had mobilized in front of the building to block the entrance. What bothers them? Anna von Hausswolff is said to be a “satanist” and a follower of blasphemy.

During her tour, she performed in several churches, including the Union Chapel in London, without having encountered any problems until then.
