Pictures posted on Twitter show Daniel Riazat, Mamodou Malcolm Jallow and Lorena Delgado Varas posing with the flags of the Kurdish organizations PKK, YPG and YPJ in their hands.
- We are all behind this, says Lorena Delgado Varas to Aftonbladet.
They are also behind the flag of the EU-branded organization PKK, she says.
- Yes.
These are organizations that are resistance movements, that have a democratic organization, a feminist organization, in a context where Turkey is a dictatorship.
All three are members of parliament for the Left Party.
Delgado Varas and Malcolm Jallow are also members of the party's highest body, the V's party board.
Had the support of the party
Delgado Vargas tells Aftonbladet that the three V politicians had the party's support to carry out the action in Almedalen and refers to the fact that the Left Party has made a "congressional decision that the PKK should not be listed as a terrorist".
When asked if the action was an attempt to disrupt Sweden's NATO process, Delgado Vara answered no.
- But of course we do not want Sweden to join NATO.
We saw that this would be a problem because within NATO there are dictatorships, pseudo-democratic countries and that they should dictate what we should do and not do is deeply problematic.
SVT Nyheter has sought the Left Party's party leader Nooshi Dadgostar and party secretary Hanna Gedin for a comment, without success.
