In an interview with Mission Review, Rasmus Paludan recounts how he counted on riots during his Easter tour last year that ended with over 160 injured police officers.

"I was expecting riots. The only people who didn't get it were the Swedes because they're stupid in the head probably," says Rasmus Paludan, party leader of The Stram kurs.

He believes that the riots did not have the political consequences he had hoped for and that he does not see himself as a winner.

"I only win if it's the case that the Swedish people understand this and they didn't.

"Won't go to Sweden"

In Malmö, an investigation is underway in which Paludan is suspected of incitement to racial hatred after setting the Koran on fire. He denies the allegations and he has opposed going to Sweden to be questioned.

"I will not be going to Sweden in the foreseeable future. It has to do with safety. It is lousy throughout Sweden with the exception of Stockholm. But only operating from Stockholm if you are going to win an election is hardly relevant. And there are no Koran burnings outside turkey's embassy either.

Police final bill: SEK 84 million

The police do not want to respond to Paludan's criticism of security.

"His statement has to stand for himself," says Malin Sahlström of the police.

According to new figures from the police, Paludan's election rallies between April and September last year have cost the police Rs 84 crore.

Paludan does not think he got the effect he wanted with his demonstrations in Sweden - see the interview in the clip above.
