What is illegal offline must be illegal online.

1 year ago we suddenly lost Fred Matić MEP. He was the first guest in our podcast, Take a Left.

He speaks openly and clearly about his unusual life, from war hero to legislator fighting for women's rights.

Take a listen.

Today we honoured the life of Fred Matić MEP.

We spoke with him in 2021, just after the EU Parliament passed the Matic report, the first time calling for safe & legal abortion as a fundamental right.

Here's Fred in his own words.
