Iraq’s foreign ministry said on Sunday it summoned the Swedish charge d’affaires in the capital, Baghdad. In 2020 in Malmo, Sweden, Paludan was at the centre of riots with protesters setting cars on fire over similar efforts. Now Paludan plans to run again in the June 2023 vote, but he reportedly does not have the necessary number of signatures to secure his candidature. This is not the first time violence erupted against the Danish party’s plan to burn the holy book. Paludan – whose father is a Swedish national – first came to public attention in 2017 when he started making anti-Muslim YouTube videos. “All three injured have been arrested on suspicion of committing criminal acts.”
