Tomatoes lobbed at Sweden’s overseas minister throughout parliamentary debate

The minister fled the chamber when she heard the noise, and the controversy was briefly suspended.

“It have to be potential to have a parliamentary debate with out having issues thrown at you. It is prime to democratic discourse,” Stenergard wrote in a textual content message to Aftonbladet, thanking all those that had supplied their help within the aftermath.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemned the incident: “I’m proud that Sweden has a reliable and upright overseas minister who represents the federal government’s line on the conflicts within the Middle East. No one needs to be allowed to threaten her or throw objects at her.”

“We have helped the safety guards to take away individuals from the scene,” a police spokesperson mentioned, including that two ladies aged 45 and a person aged 35 have been suspected of disrupting the controversy.
