The activist group Restore the Wetlands once again created an uproar in the Riksdag. At the Speaker’s request, they were dragged out. – One by one they shout out their message, says TV4 Nyheternas reporter Anneli Megner Arn on the spot. Several activists interrupted Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) in her presentation during Friday’s climate debate in the Riksdag. – I again ask the guards to immediately remove the people who disturb the order and this is now a general mission for the guards to ensure that order is restored, says third vice-president Kerstin Lundgren and apologizes to Pourmokhtari. At least three activists were dragged out by security guards. “Deeply regrettable” This is the fourth time in two weeks that Restore the Wetlands has made an appearance in the Riksdag. Today, Kerstin Lundgren threatened to empty the stands and adjourn the debate if the outcome repeats itself. – And that would be deeply regrettable, she says. Today’s climate debate takes place at the request of the Green Party due to the IPCC’s annual report.
