Funny story, here in Sweden, our speaker of the parliament was visiting a school to speak. Someone threw a “banana or part of a banana”. Bodyguards “aprehended” the boy until police arrived and the boy was interrogated at the police station.
The speaker then started a criminal suit against the boy (who was 16) with the charge of disorderly conduct. The damage was noted as, “a stained shirt”.
According to the speaker, incidents like this could cause politicians to not want to speak at schools (oh no… how will the children cope?)
Anyway, people are calling him out as the clown he is. And i’d be very surprised if he gets to keep his post after our election (regardless of who wins)
Eh, only if they want to, I am still pissed off that Maud Olofsson got away with the Noun affair and even got to decline attending a government review board about the affair.
At least now they have reintroduced “tjänstemannaansvar” (public servant accountability). And when I say now I actually mean, pretty much now. It went into effect 1 august of this year.

Wait, whoa stop. Politicians are held to account in your country?! What sort of magical utopia is this?

That kinda sounds like Björn Söder…
It was not. It’s actually pretty recent.
