The party has reported the attack to the police, which takes place at a time when L in Gothenburg has applied for permission for a public gathering outside Gothenburg University on Friday.
Thus, the party is in practice evading student demonstrators who have been protesting against the war in Gaza and demanding that the university breaks off all cooperation with Israeli educational institutions since the spring.
In a clip on Instagram, a film from the attack in Eskilstuna is shown with a call to protect the tent camp set up in Gothenburg.
We have initiated what we can in terms of security to inform our representatives and we will report to the police all those who threaten democracy, says L leader Johan Pehrson.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) describes the attack as "a threat to our open and free society":
"Those perpetrators who participate in this should be prosecuted. If they are not Swedish citizens, they should be deported. It is our collective duty to never accept this type of behavior. It should be met with the collective force of society", he writes in a post on the platform X.
"Want to intimidate"
The attack on the office in Eskilstuna is confirmed by the police.
It is a case of vandalism that occurred during the night and has come to our knowledge. We are also aware of various posts on social media, says the police's press spokesperson Martina Gradian.
According to The Liberals, a number of threats and hate have been directed towards the party's local offices around the country since the party's public gathering in Gothenburg became known.
Surveillance with drones
By 6 am on Friday, the tent camp at Vasaplatsen in Gothenburg must be gone – and at 12 pm, The Liberals' public gathering will begin.
The police announce on their website that the area around the university building may be camera-monitored with drones during Friday.
At the same time, several of the demonstrators told local media that no decision to leave the area had been made on Thursday afternoon.
