The group of our MEPs had sent a letter over the Chovanec case to the president of European Parliament:
About time!

In Charleroi near Brussels (the seat of the EU) a Slovak citizen - Jozef Chovanec - was tortured to death by police, Naci-style. The helpless man, both hands bound behind his back, was held by the group of policemen face down, with the rag around his head, for 16 minutes and probably choked to death slowly. Policemen were laughing during the process, one of them even made "Sieg Heil" gesture and generally, they had a great time torturing the "lowly" East-European.
The link to the video of the torture:
The link to Belgian articles about the whole case:
Belgian police and the politicians responsible deliberately kept their tongue about the whole affair and tried to sweep it into oblivion.
That are your "EU" values. I´m sick to my stomach!

Benedict's Non-Sherlock Work » Hay Festival » May 7, 2020 12:06 pm |
Benedict at least engages in digital festival, when you can´t have any real festivals right now:
It´s a book event. Seems very nice, I think.

Good to know that the number of cases isn't as high as in other places.
I haven't had to go out with a mask on yet, since the last time I went shopping was before we were required to wear them at stores. But my parents have had to (and my neighbour sewed masks for all three of us that she gave us this weekend), and my mum has been finding it a strange experience. She forgets that people can't see that she's smiling at them when she recognizes them.
Your description of your experience of your depressing boredom seems to go with the quote from your signature, nakahara. Perhaps there is some kind of project you can devise for yourself to keep from feeling too much stasis? Perhaps it's the time for a new writing project or something?
Thank you for your concern, Yitzock, I´ll appreciate it. But I am not really bored. Actually, I realised I´ll do much more work than usual, combing home office work with cooking and cleaning and similar stuff. I am just strangely discouraged from starting anything new. That corona crisis came in the worst possible time work-wise for me, because our director went into retirement and a new director is still a big enigma and a lot of my work cannot be properly done because of that... feels very discouraging.
Also, the face-masks are a bother. I think they are quite neccessary as a preventive measure, but unfortunately, they make every act performed outside (shopping, walk etc.) a chore......

Preventive measures against the virus were quite strict from the very start here in Slovakia, so the situation here is not so bad considering the number of the infected, I think. But the inability to do anything but to mope at home, the uncertainty about the future, the economic black-hole that sucks out life from forcefully closed down shops, a duty to appear in face mask everywhere, even when you are strolling in an empty park, the inability to visit your relatives out of fear that you´ll bring infection to them.... it really gets on one´s nerves and I am afraid it will end up in a full-scale depression soon.
