The derby between AIK ended with fights and Bengals throwing.
Now the Minister of Justice and Home Affairs, Morgan Johansson, is speaking out against supporters’ violence – and is filing an appeal.
I cannot accept that violence is part of the support culture. He says on the Sportstudion podcast that everyone should distance themselves.
After 2-2 in the derby between AIK and Hammarby at Friends Arena, it was getting rowdy in the stands. A huge fight broke out between the supporters and many Bengalis were thrown in both directions.
– There are a lot of families with children here, including my children, and this is not something I want them to see clearly, John Gidity after the game.
Now the Minister of Justice and the Interior, Morgan Johansson, is coming out and condemning the violence.
He also wants players and other profiles to distance themselves more clearly from the violent elements of supporter culture.
Totally unacceptable. People should be able to go to football without risking being in such a mess. I think that everyone who has something to say in this pro world should distance themselves from this kind of violence, this is normal. Families should be able to go to soccer with their kids without it, he says on the Sportstudion podcast with Claes Åkeson and Ricard Norman.
“Why football in particular?”
Sportstudion: How do you react when you hear Main podcast profiles and players Who said you can take this, it belongs?
I cannot accept that violence is part of the support culture. Everyone should stay away, because if this continues it will spoil the experience for everyone.
Johansson continues to point out that it’s important to keep your distance.
I cannot accept this view that it is a normal part of supportive culture. Is this what we should teach our children and youth that fighting with each other is related to going to football? I also wonder that in the world of football we have this kind of culture. I don’t see that in any other sport. So why is that so when it comes to football?
– This is my simple message: If you do not distance yourself, it will be interpreted as a call to continue. In the end someone will get hurt and what will these profiles say when their message is so destructive?
