Sweden Swedish Minister of Justice on the riots of recent days: The police should have been strengthened 25 years ago

Sweden has been shaken by violence in several cities in recent days.

Sweden have shaken in recent days violence in several cities, largely targeting riot police. A far-right Danish politician Rasmus Paludanin the violent riots that erupted from the visits or intentions to visit continued in Sweden on the night between Sunday and Monday.

The unrest in Sweden has once again brought to the fore a debate about police resources, which has been repeatedly discussed in recent years as a result of, among other things, gang crime and gunfire. For example, in connection with the 2018 parliamentary elections the acute need for additional police emerged in the election debate.

Swedish Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson said In an interview with Swedish radio on Sunday that police resources should have been strengthened as early as twenty years ago.

“It is clear that increasing camera surveillance, tightening penalties and expanding the police force should have been done 20 to 25 years ago. However, that was not done, so we need to implement these now, ”Johansson said.

Johansson has faced criticism and even demands for resignation from other parties. Johansson commented on them, saying that in a situation like this, simple party politics must be put aside.

Last Unrest that began at the end of the week in Linköping and Norrköping has also occurred during the weekend in Stockholm, Örebro, Landskrona and most recently in Malmö.

Among other things, cars have been set on fire and policemen thrown at rocks. Swedish broadcaster SVT according to at least 17 police officers have been injured and dozens of people are suspected of crimes.

The night before Monday, a fire broke out in a school building in Malmö, which is suspected of arson. However, more detailed information on the extent of the damage was not available early on Monday.

On Sunday, three people were injured in police warning shots in riots in Norrköping, police said.

Unrest originated when Rasmus Paluda, leader of the Danish Stram Kurs party, visited or announced that he was visiting the localities as part of his “election tour”. At least in Rinkeby, Stockholm, Stram Kurs burned the Muslim holy book Quran, which triggered unrest.

In other places, Paludan had also reported the burning of the Qur’an, and in the past, the practices of politicians have included burning copies of the Qur’an in public places, often in areas inhabited by many Muslims.

Johansson commented on Paludan, saying in an interview that he specifically wants to incite anger and violence. Also the Prime Minister of Sweden Magdalena Andersson stated late last week, among other things Aftonbladetin according to that Paluda wants to see violent reactions and this is meant to incite people against each other.
