Sweden’s Minister of Social Affairs calls Assange a ”coward” and a ”pitiful wretch”

Publicerat den 17 augusti 2012 kl 01:29

This Tuesday, Sweden’s Minister of Social Affairs Göran Hägglund called Wikileaks founder Julian Assange a ”coward” and a ”pitiful wretch”. He added that Assange is a ”scumbag” if the accusations against him are true.

When news broke on Tuesday that Ecuador intended to grant Julian Assange’s request for asylum, Sweden’s Minister of Social Affairs Göran Hägglund sent the following Twitter message:

”Sick. A coward who does not dare to have his case tried by the court. If the accusations against him are true, he is a scumbag.”

It is not clear what Mr. Hägglund meant by the statement that Assange is afraid to have ”his case tried by the court”, there being no charges against Assange who is merely wanted for questioning.

The Twitter message was part of a friendly conversation between Mr. Hägglund and Niklas Svensson, a journalist at the Swedish tabloid Expressen. Mr. Svensson was the journalist who, in August 2010, first reported that Assange was wanted by the Swedish police. Expressen has since published a long series of highly critical articles about Assange.

These Swedish charges are laugable. The accuser only decided she was harmed she found out he was boinking another bimbo in town.

I asked a fluent Swedish speaker here at my office. He says that the original English is based on a certain hygiene apparatus, and doesn’t translate.

If my foul-mouthed grandparents were still alive, I could ask them. They were working-class Gothenburg.
