After Catholic protesters prevented Swedish musician Anna von Hausswolff from performing in a church in Nantes on Tuesday, the
Paris church Saint-Eustache has cancelled her planned 9 December concert, citing concerns over security.
On Tuesday, a group described by Nantes’ deputy mayor, Bassem Asseh, as “intolerant radicals” blocked the entrance to the church Notre-Dame de Bon-Port ahead of von Hausswolff’s show, accusing her of making “satanist”
music, despite the show being organised in accordance with the Nantes diocese.
