Sweden after Gubbängen
- Liberals in Gubbängen are mocked
- The police's elite unit is to investigate Gubbängen
- Kristersson calls a national crisis meeting after calling the assault of the AFA founder
Immediately after the attack in Gubbängen took place, the far-left Expo went out and reported that the attackers – who subjected AFA founder Mathias Wåg to a minor beating – were “Nazis”.
A row other media caught on and soon it was a truth that it was a Nazi attack.
The journalist Joakim Lamotte has examined the matter a little more closely and asked the police if they can establish that the attackers were Nazis.
– No, you cannot do that at all. We do not take a position on those questions. It is media information that comes from different newsrooms. We have not commented from that perspective at all, says police press spokesman Ola Österling.
The police have “absolutely not” given any such information to the media, according to Österling, who also says that he himself has not heard that there is something to suggest that Nazis would be behind it all.
– I have not come across any information that there would be any symbols or anything similar that could tie these perpetrators to something that sort of thing, he says.
Anders Carlsson Lind, chairman of the Left Party in Farsta, told Dagens ETC after the incident that he judged the perpetrators to be “fascists or Nazis based on the fact that they attacked an anti-fascist event”.
