arghton 6,695 Posted October 3, 2021 Lars Vilks, mentioned in the Terrorists and Terrorist Targets thread was also the founder of Swedish micronation Ladonia. With the death of him and Ewert Ljusberg of Jamtland, the amount of notable Swedish "micronationalists" has halved during three days. The remaining two are the founders, "kings" of conceptual art project Elgaland-Vargaland, founded in 1992: Carl Michael von Hausswolff (1956-) Controversial composer and visual artist Leif Elggren (1950-) Artist. And about Vicente Fernandez, according to Mexican news sites he's still in ICU but apparently has had small discussions/meetings with both his wife and Luis de Alba. Neither of them has actually mentioned anything about the discussions and there hasn't been a health update on his instagram account since the 21st of September. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
