In the clip, you hear Lasse Persson talk about his memories from the EU summit in Gothenburg in 2001.



- I can not understand why it was done that way then, says Lasse Persson.

The shots at Vasaplatsen

He had traveled to Gothenburg from Gävle to take part in the protests against the EU summit.

On Friday night, he was at Vasaplatsen when the police fired at the stone-throwing protesters and shot several people.

Apologize

Then, and for a long time afterwards, he defended the perpetrators.

But today Lasse Persson is ashamed and apologizes - even though he himself did not participate in the stone-throwing.

But if you were one of the peaceful protesters, what do you have to apologize for?

- Because I defended the violence then.

I sided with them afterwards, says Lasse Persson.
