The Nazis frighten and abuse the people of Almedal

Thursday morning in Almedalen. Seminar on the elderly in the society without money, in a white tent at the edge of the water. About 40 listeners. Panel engaged.

– Do not believe in this slogan that it will be cashless, says Bjorn Eriksson, the former national policeman and governor

The discussion is moderated by Artur Ringart, formerly known as SVT sport, today editor of News55 newspaper. Suddenly, a Nazi moves from the Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR) into the tent. Then one more and one more. In the end, they are twenty-one standing in the tent and opening the tent.

Two women, the other men. Uniform clothing: white piqué sweaters with a N-Rack at the back. Nazi film and foot. Delivered his magazine, where you can read the tribute to the violent Nazis and the message that democracy will be abolished.

The atmosphere of the tent changes . A couple of ladies and an older man sneak up, suddenly crossing between the sturdy Nazis. After the seminar, the group continues to disrupt more events and shout out "People's Traitors" to Alliance politicians who are soon in the news.

In the white tent, Artur Ringart speaks with a suppressed rage of the Nazis.

– They have nothing to do here. Point.

His father Jacob Ringart was in the camp of the Auschwitz Fortress, as part of Adolf Hitler's plan to eradicate the Jewish people. The RMN called Hitler "the first man of our race". Jakob Ringart survived the camp, but his parents were murdered by the Nazis.

Now at Almedalen 2018 his son Artur Ringart wonders why the Nazis chose to break into his seminary. Did they know his Jewish birth?

It is shameful, Artur Ringart thinks that NMR has received permission from the police to appear in Almedalen, that they can go around and scare people.

– I think: Should we be here next year? Do we have to have guards stand outside our tent and make sure they do not come? Then, the whole idea of ​​Almedal falls.

A democratic society has certain rules of the game. We will follow them, "insists Artur Ringart. If you do not do that, you will be punished.

– The NMR is anti-violence. For this reason, they have nothing to do.

The Nordic Resistance Movement uses and promotes violence. "The battle requires more than words," he said, on three knives that the police seized in a car belonging to Emil Hagberg, 33, one of the leaders of the RMN with violent judgments in the luggage

to three months in prison for his participation in a hate attack against a gay-friendly party held in the local RFSL center in Kristianstad.

Now, ten years later, Simon Lindberg in Almedalen presents himself as the leader of a violent Nazi organization that Säpo believes capable of engaging.

Eighteen boys came out of nowhere and suddenly attacked her.

During Thursday there were constantly new hot-key NMR reports at Almedalen. Outside the tents of Sweden and Israel, Christina Toledano-Åsbrink was destroyed when she tried to prevent the Nazis from developing a banner.

– Seven-eight boys came out of nowhere and suddenly attacked him, says Stefan Dozzi, general secretary of the Sweden-Israel Friendship Union

He describes how several Nazis lay on Christina Toledano-Åsbrink.

– I managed to get rid of her and then I had a few shots on her arm.

Christina Toledano-Åsbrink tells the Nazis to cross the tent of the organization repeatedly and threaten.

– We stood extremely close to my face and asked, "What do you think Israel will get lost?"

Christina Toledano-Åsbrink is very affected by the attack – but determined to stay in Almedalen. Less than three hours after being attacked, she made an improvised speech outside the tent of her organization:

– I have been here today, and I am so in angry that I do not know where to go. When you come here and you spill someone, then you swear I will not show you a demonstration later!

On Wednesday night, also received three women with a rainbow flag to discover how members of the RMN can easily move from harassment to violence. The women saw how a large group of Nazis fought across the city and decided to protest.

– Almedal talks about democracy, and they should not destroy it. That's why we went to collect the rainbow flags, "said Camilla Wagner, a 51-year-old woman from Stockholm who talks about feminism and gender at Almedalen

Camilla Wagner tells how the Nazis have toppled the flag and made fun of her and her girlfriends that they were "pedophiles". Then a man suddenly went to attack.

– He came as a rugby player and thanked me from behind. I fly in the hill and hit the back of the sidewalk. And the police seize him immediately. The police were with us all the time, although we did not understand it, said one of the women.

I am over fifty and have three children. I did not think I would be beaten at Almedalen

The 51-year-old woman has a lump in her head and is scratching her body after the attack.

– I'm shaken and I'm crying. I am over fifty years old and I have three children. I did not think I would be beaten in Almedalen, "said Camilla Wagner.

Her attacker was arrested on Thursday suspected of misuse of hate motives.

Carina Skagerlind, spokeswoman for the police of the Almedalen police, does she confirm that a police station was in place at the time of the assault?

This is obviously a failure. Another thing can not be said, our job is to prevent these things from happening, but it's not a simple job.

Carina Skagerlind says the police are really trying to predict where a Possible confrontation could occur.

– But such a day involves many difficulties

Several participants of Almedals chose to leave Visby prematurely because of the Nazi presence. organized its events after the police gave the NMR permission to stand in front of a cardboard just outside the RFSL Local.

On Thursday, Riksdag member Rossana Dinamarca (V) also received enough information after being harassed by an NMR group. Dinamarca booked his boat ticket and left Gotland on Thursday night.

– Can not be left here. The Nazis circulate everywhere and spread the horror. It's their whole purpose, to be intimidated. The NMR is a terrorist group, said Rossana Dinamarca

Police said earlier that it was unfortunate that Rossana Dinamarca and others felt anxious to leave Almedalen due to the presence of Nazis

It is a fact that the NMR with its force of violence and its Nazi message scares the people of Almedalen. How can this be?

– The police must comply with the law in force and the latest interpretations of it. Would you like to see a change? If you do not think that the police tools and the work we do are enough to not create the security you want, then you have to revisit how we can change the laws and the tools, "says Carina Skagerlind of the police [19659002] Last year, the last days of Almedal week were characterized by the aggressiveness of the Nazis. Artur Ringart, whose father Jacob survived Auschwitz, shakes his head. How can this happen again? he was wondering.

Jacob Ringart died in 2014. As president and then honorary president of the survival of the Holocaust Society, he devoted a lot of powers to the fight against terrorism. anti-Semitism and the horror he experienced at Auschwitz.

– I am very happy that my father does not have to experience Almedalen 2018, says Artur Ringart. [ad_2]
