Last year, one of the leaders of the Swedish government called for “Maidan” and radicalization. The Swedish government has not yet distanced itself from that statement, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament writes.

As Shalva Papuashvili notes, not condemning violence is inciting future violence.

“Let us recall how last year, one of the leaders of the Swedish government and the Chairman of the European Affairs Committee of the Parliament, Erik Ottosson, called for “Maidan” and radicalization.

The Swedish government has not yet distanced itself from that statement, nor has it condemned the attempt to burn down the parliament last year, nor has it condemned the failed attempt to violently overthrow the government on October 4.

Not condemning violence is inciting future violence,” Papuashvili writes.
