I would have completely missed the incident in Sweden if not for this. Did not come up on anything here, or if it did it was such a blip that it was easily missed.
This was the only place I had heard it as well.
I should say by "here" I mean brit media. Interesting one for them to ignore since it's an opportunity to rile up tensions, it may be that they do not want Turkey's prevention of Sweden joining nato much airtime lest it give anyone ideas or questions about whether Sweden is the nice, soft, left leaning socdem country without a rapidly growing nazi problem that it is portrayed as. The rising far right is a particular one that is being ignored, a case of "if people don't know it's happening then they don't oppose it" combined with European reputation not going down the shitter as the fascists start taking over everywhere.
