PoliticsSwedish MEP files police complaint over alleged racist hate speech by Danish colleague

Swedish MEP Abir Al-Sahlani has filed a police complaint accusing a Danish fellow MEP of racist hate speech. The complaint follows attacks against Al-Sahlani on social media after she condemned far-right, anti-immigration chants in the European Parliament. It was submitted to Swedish police last week and concerns events after a vote last month. Some rightwing MEPs had shouted “send them back” after a vote intended to increase deportations across the EU.
