Local politicians in the city of Westeros in Sweden want to achieve the liquidation of the Russian Orthodox Church, which they consider a threat to national security. This is planned to be done through the forced purchase of the land on which the church is built, writes Swedinfo.
The authorities of Westeros state that one of the problems is the proximity to the local airport – 300 meters, as well as the fact that one of the parish priests is suspected of having ties to Russian intelligence.
“We must prioritize the safety of Westeros. The main issue is the proximity to the airport, as well as the high spire or tower, which makes it easy for eavesdropping,” claims politician Elizabeth Unell.
Her plan is for the authorities of the city of Westeros to forcibly purchase the land, thereby displacing the church from the local community. The proposal has already been presented to the municipal council.
If the proposal is accepted, the final decision on the forced expropriation of the land will be entrusted to the government of Sweden.
As reported by the UOJ, the ROC congratulated snipers on their holiday and wished them “steadiness of hand”.
