Civilförsvarsminister Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M) blev förföljd av Palestinademonstranter när han var på väg från riksdagen. Nu utreder polisen brott. – Man ska som förtroendevald i Sverige inte behöva bli förföljd till sitt hem av någonting som känns som en lynchmobb, säger ministern till SVT.
Yes, I AM speaking from privilege. And I for one want to keep the privilege of living in a civilised, democratic country where everyone is allowed to speak their mind, regardless of how stupid it is. No politician should ever be threatened and attacked this way. Ever. Trying to silence politicians in a democratic country equals attacking the democracy itself. It is an extremely dangerous path to follow, and can never become normalised. From any side of a conflict.
And again, I have not said anything about what I think about this particular minister, or his views on the genocide in Gaza, only about the way he was treated by anonymous, aggressive people, trying to scare and silence him.
