In a recent incident in Gubbängen, Sweden, journalist Mathias Wåg was targeted and beaten by masked far-right extremists at a political meeting organized by the Left Party and the Green Party.

The assailants, who sought Wåg due to his work exposing and criticizing right-wing extremism, disrupted the event with violence and vandalism, leading to several hospitalizations.

This attack underscores the troubling trend of extremists using violence as "content" for their platforms, aiming to radicalize movements and influence politics.

The response from various political and media figures highlights a critical divide on the issue of violence against journalists and political gatherings, with calls to uphold democratic principles and reject extremism.
