“The Islamophobic act committed by a right-wing extremist in Sweden is strongly condemned by the Swedish government. This act in no way reflects the views of the Swedish government,” writes the embassy.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) and other ministers have previously apologized for Paludan's “Islamophobic” action outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm.
The government has been accused, among other things by the Sweden Democrats, of favoring Erdogan and Muslims rather than defending Swedish freedom of expression.
