The incident took place on May 1 in Gothenburg, at the start of the party's “Swexit tour” through Sweden before the EU elections.
Alternative for Sweden, AFS, is one of the very few parties that advocates that Sweden should leave the EU. Otherwise, repatriation is the party's profile issue.
The party describes the flag burning as “a protest against the EU's dictatorial power over Sweden and against the social, demographic and economic problems that the Union has caused our country”.
