It is a democratic right to demonstrate and to show that your are not satisfied with the current situation. But it is not a democratic right to destroy and provocate the police to start a riot. It is also not a democratic right to not follow rules and regulations set by the government to protect the public. In this particular case I refer to the link and article published in the Swedish newspaper Expressen (04-06-2020)

This setup of this particular demonstration shows again how “professional demonstarters” takes part to only create trouble and in worst case scenario a riot. This poses a security threat to the public and the society as whole.
It is a democratic right to demonstrate, but if we want to keep this right, a change of attitude of the people and the authority must happen. If not changed the result might be that the rights are curtailed and in the suppressed to prevent vandalism and violence. Peaceful demonstrator should not be high-jacked by those who are only there to sabotage, and for saboteurs a harsh punishment should be handed out.
