Last year, a senior official within the Swedish government called for “Maidan” and radicalisation. Yet, the Swedish government has still not distanced itself from these remarks, Speaker of the Georgian Parliament writes on his Facebook page.

“Let us remember how, last year, a senior Swedish government official and Chair of the European Affairs Committee, Erik Ottosson, called for “Maidan” and radicalisation.

The Swedish government has yet to distance itself from this statement, nor has it condemned the attempt to set fire to the parliament last year, nor the failed violent overthrow attempt on October 4. Failing to condemn violence is tantamount to incitement”, - writes Shalva Papuashvili.
