Yesterday 3 distinctly separate events at Turkey's Stockholm Embassy.
First the Fascist from Denmark Rasmus Paludan at about 1 p.m. burned a Quran, same as ~10 times in a hate-stoking campaign all over Sweden in 2022, preceded by similar in Malmö 2020 and several times previously in Denmark. Denounced by e.g. the anti-racist People's Democratic Party Peoples’ Democratic Party https://medyanews.net/turkeys-pro-kurdish-opposition-denounces-burning-of-quran-outside-turkish-embassy/ in Turkey. Most people at that event were press or police, reported Public Service radio.
Just after and overlapping that, a small recurring demo by Erdoğan-fans.
Then unrelated to the previous a demo of thousands though the city going to Turkey's Embassy, against Erdoğan and NATO called for by the Rojava Committees (explicitly antifascist, with support from AFA/antifa Stockholm), with slogans such as "Erdoğan, ISIS, same thing, same thing",
which also had similar smaller demos in Malmö and Gothenburg.
All three events were "calm" said Stockholm police.
In İstanbul people "responded" by burning the flag of Sweden and making a brief attempt at storming the Consulate of Sweden, as well as similar at Sweden's Embassy in Ankara.

Thousands rally in Stockholm to protest Sweden’s policy of concessions to Turkey

in reply to b9AcE • • •Reportedly a main participant was the "Alperen Hearths Foundation for Education, Culture, and Solidarity", which is considered akin to an auxiliary of the Fascist global terror-group "Grey Wolves" of the Fascist party MHP, which is the Erdoğan-dictatorship's ruling AKP's support-party in parliament.
They e.g. threaten "Stockholm, we will come suddenly one night" in a slogan used e.g. by Erdoğan to threaten an invasion of conquest against Erdoğan's NATO-"ally" Greece.

Banner's text roughly "PFLP – PKK: Terror-lists are bogus".

in reply to b9AcE • • •"Erdoğan, upside down – No to NATO, yes to peace!" (for context: https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/109677366052782731)
"No to NATO – No alliance with Fascists"
"One last deportation – send Billström över the bridge" (Erdoğan-ruled government of Sweden's Minister of Foreign Affairs)
"Not a soldier! Not a rifle! Not a crown [currency] to NATO's military!"
"Liberate Öcalan – terror-label Erdoğan!" (Abdullah Öcalan is a founder and party-leader of PKK, illegally abducted to tortureous conditions by MİT, Mossad and CIA from Kenya in 1999)
At the end of the day genocidal war criminal dictator Erdoğan became a piñata at an anarchist café and book store on south-side Stockholm, "Kafé 44", one of my two most favorite places in the world, with a backdrop of AFA/antifa Stockholm's flag.

in reply to b9AcE • • •A picture of the Fascist Rasmus Paludan from Denmark was burned, in response to constant provocateur Paludan burning yet another Quran,
which was of course an absolutely entirely separate event from the anti-NATO- and anti-Erdoğan demo called to by the Rojava Committees.
The RC's antifa-endorsed demo was announced several days before puke-worthy Paludan announced to hold an event a bit earlier on the same day.
b9AcE
in reply to b9AcE • • •Here are three pictures from the Fascist Paludan's hate-mongering yesterday earlier at the same location,
which is at its core unrelated to anything RC ever did or stands for, but simply a continuation of probably nearing a hundred similar actions by Paludan both in Denmark and then in Sweden since at least 2017, infamously brutally police-imposed on locals in tens of towns in Sweden yesteryear, in absolute contradiction to the laws ruling police's granting of or banning of such events.
There seems to have been one affiliated camera-person, Paludan, press, police and personal protection (State-security SÄPO chauffeured Paludan around the country for the previous Quran-burning tour), passersby... and plausibly nobody else.

in reply to b9AcE • • •Report from Batman, about 30 minutes ago, from/via Abdullah Bozkurt of the Stockholm-based Nordic Monitor which has a special focus on Turkey-related extremism,
"Iran-backed Turkish Hizbullah, political ally of President Erdogan in predominantly Kurdish provinces of #Turkey's south, organized a major rally against #Sweden today in the city of Batman."

in reply to b9AcE • • •Says he doesn't see any connection to Sweden's application to join NATO (duh!), claims that "it didn't turn out as I thought [it would]" without further clarification what his thought was, if any,
says to not regret the despicable hate-mongering,
but instead whines "it's sad that so many threatens to kill me" (extremely probably one of Paludan's main goals of the act).

in reply to b9AcE • • •Meanwhile, protesters in Baghdad today tried storming Sweden's embassy over the burning. Six people were injured and one cop.
Meanwhile, meanwhile, PM Kristersson two days ago officially stated on the matter that "what is legal is not necessarily appropriate" and to "express my sympathy for all Muslims who are offended",
which now has the government of Sweden's other ruler, far-right hate-monger Åkesson very,very upset saying "there are limits to how a government can express itself", hinting at a possible government crisis,
because of course Paludan's and Åkesson's core goals are the same, which are also adjacent to Erdoğan's (reactionary aggressively authoritarian xenophobia, etc).
So, the government has through its core policy of multi-appeasement (a.k.a. spinelessness) to... show more

in reply to b9AcE • • •Unless Erdoğan was only being bombastic for the current electioneering.
The govt of Finland has said it won't join NATO without Sweden, but they also promised they would never apply for membership just before doing it, just as the govt of Sweden, so you know... politicians. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
