In light of the alarming increase in bombings in Sweden, the Social Democrats are demanding the implementation of a large visitation zone in southern Stockholm. This is a type of measure they have previously criticized when it was legalized during 2024 by the current Kristersson government.
The Social Democrat legal spokesperson, Teresa Carvalho, said that “We are in a national crisis”.
During the previous week, minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (Moderate Party) called a meeting with the police authority to discuss measures for addressing the crisis.
A press release from the Swedish Police states that many of these attacks, orchestrated by criminal organizations, are carried out by youths & children against entrepreneurs & businesses in order to extort them.
Whilst another five explosions rock the country in the past 24 hours, the Swedish Minister of State Ulf Kristersson commented in writing to TT:
“The criminal gangs show a complete indifference toward the public. This is domestic terrorism that we must combat with the full force of society.”
Original quote in Swedish:
“De kriminella gängen visar upp total likgiltighet mot allmänheten. Detta är en inhemsk terrorism som vi måste bekämpa med samhällets samlade kraft.”
Edit: Grammar
This new law literally legalizes stop and frisk.
