The '''Fag Army''' is a left-wing [[Queer anarchism|queer anarchist]] and [[LGBT rights by country or territory|LGBTQ rights]] organization founded in [[Sweden]] in 2014. The group uses the tactic of [[direct action]]. |
|||
On August 18, 2014 [[Göran Hägglund]], [[Minister for Health and Social Affairs (Sweden)|Minister for Health and Social Affairs]] and leader of the [[Christian Democrats (Sweden)|Christian Democrats]], was [[Pieing|pied]] in [[Gothenburg]] at [[Kungsportsplatsen]] by a member of the Fag Army during a speech at a party rally. The attacker, who had infiltrated the Christian Democrats three weeks prior to the event, participating in the party's campaign for the [[Swedish general election, 2014|September general elections]], was apprehended by the police, and later released.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.svt.se/nyheter/regionalt/vastnytt/goran-hagglund-tartad|title=Göran Hägglund attackerad med tårta|date=August 18, 2014|work=[[Sveriges Television]]|language=Swedish|accessdate=August 20, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article19384458.ab|title=Göran Hägglund attackerad under tal – fick tårta i ansiktet|date=August 18, 2014|work=[[Aftonbladet]]|language=Swedish|accessdate=August 20, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thelocal.se/20140818/christian-democrat-leader-gets-cake-in-face|title=Christian Democrat leader attacked with cake|date=August 18, 2014|work=[[The Local]]|accessdate=August 20, 2014}}</ref> |

A press release was later made by the Fag Army, in which the event was dubbed "''Aktion Kommando Bakelsebögen''", similar to the style of the [[Red Army Faction]] (which used the name "Kommando Holger Meins" during the [[West German Embassy siege]] in Stockholm, 1975). In an interview, the anonymous pie-thrower named a number of reasons behind the Christian Democrats being targeted, including the party's resistance to abolishing [[Compulsory sterilisation in Sweden|compulsory sterilisation]], that it opposed the [[Same-sex marriage in Sweden|partnership law]] and the law on [[LGBT adoption#Europe|LGBTQ adoption]], as well as that it allowed [[Homophobia|homophobes]] in the party.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.gp.se/nyheter/goteborg/1.2463592-tartkastaren-jag-kande-mig-glad-|title=Tårtkastaren: "Jag kände mig glad"|date=August 19, 2014|work=[[Göteborgs-Posten]]|language=Swedish|accessdate=August 20, 2014}}</ref> Continued actions by the Fag Army during the coming election campaign were promised.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.expressen.se/gt/tartmannen-darfor-tartade-jag-hagglund/|title="Tårtmannen": Därför tårtade jag Hägglund"|date=August 19, 2014|work=[[Expressen]]|language=Swedish|accessdate=August 20, 2014}}</ref> |
