Violent Outburst at Political Lecture in Stockholm: What Happened and Who Is to Blame?

In southern Stockholm, a lecture organized by local political parties turned violent as masked individuals rushed the event. At least three people were taken to the hospital after smoke bombs were set off and the organizers were reportedly from the local branch of the Swedish Left Party and the Environmental Party.

Witnesses reported seeing red smoke spreading in the area, causing a commotion as attendees began to run. Some individuals were hit in the face, and the smoke made it difficult for people to breathe. The confusion escalated quickly, leading to an evacuation of the theater.

Several people were taken to the hospital as a result of the incident, though the exact nature of their injuries was not immediately clear. Reports suggested that individuals were sprayed with smoke in their eyes, causing irritation and difficulty breathing. The police are investigating the incident as a case of causing danger to others and disturbing public order.

The Farsta Left Party released a statement on Facebook blaming the attack on extreme right-wing groups and denouncing their actions. The Swedish Prime Minister also condemned the attack, stating that such acts have no place in a free and open society. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible for this unfortunate incident.
