Protests Mar Busch's Event Amid New Party Concerns

Published: 2024-04-09

During a recent event in Göteborg, Sweden, Kristdemokraterna (Christian Democrats) leader Ebba Busch was repeatedly interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters opposing the Swedish government's stance on the war in Gaza.

The disturbance occurred at a gathering intended to focus on the European Union, but attention shifted towards the Middle East conflict.

Protests escalated to the point where demonstrators banged on the venue's windows, prompting a relocation of interviews.

In response, Busch expressed gratitude for those who patiently sought to hold power to account despite the interruptions.

Additionally, amid this political turmoil, Busch commented on the emergence of a new party, Folklistan, initiated by Sara Skyttedal, indicating no concern over its potential impact on her party's standing in the upcoming EU elections.
