Dadgostar Condemns Violence in EU Parliament Incident

Now the Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar is commenting on the brawl between EU parliamentarian Alice Teodorescu Måwe (CD) and a civil servant from V. I know as a politician that it's not always fun to be photographed. But you must never use physical violence, she says to SR.

On Wednesday, a confrontation occurred between EU parliamentarian Alice Teodorescu Måwe (KD) and an official in the Left Party in the parliament's premises in Brussels. The versions of what happened diverge.

"The sequence of events was politically motivated and is therefore to be regarded as an attack on me in my capacity as an elected representative, against my party, and against democracy as such," wrote Måwe on X.

Now, V leader Nooshi Dadgostar is commenting on the incident.

The information I have received is that a police report has been filed due to the individual parliamentarian using physical violence against the official. We can never accept violence and therefore it has been filed, she says in SVT's Morning Studio.

After, among other things, reviews of surveillance cameras, the EU parliament's investigation shows that the Left Party official "initiated and escalated" the situation by filming and photographing Teodorescu Måwe without consent. This was stated by EU parliament's spokesperson Delphine Colard on Thursday.

The Left Party, on the other hand, has stated that it was Alice Teodorescu Måwe who physically attacked one of the Left Party's officials inside the parliament, resulting in the employee getting scratches on their arm.

The surveillance footage has not been released as far as we know, and we have not seen them, says Dadgostar to SVT and means that it is important that the surveillance footage is now released.
