Utökat skyddsobjektsområde föreslås kring riksdagen

The political climate in Sweden has become increasingly heated following the October 7th attacks on Israel In the past six months we have seen attacks on elected officials and ministers who were followed home The government is taking action to change this The police have established a special event to protect the upcoming election Police should be given more flexibility to handle threatening situations during demonstrations It starts with the police stepping forward most noticeably following experiences during the spring It got very chaotic outside the parliament in a way that was not reasonably acceptable They now use all the space that exists in the legislation to also intervene against demonstrations Those that are not permitted and that go off track But at the same time it is also a reality that the legislation in some areas is toothless But the police often lack legal support to maintain order and safety Then I said today that we intend to go to the Riksdag with proposals regarding the police gaining more flexibility When it indicates another time and place A part that someone might have applied for when wanting to carry out a demonstration This means defending the right to demonstrate but still having some flexibility as to when and where this demonstration can take place But today it has also been raised from several sides about how to specifically look at non-authorized gathering stations Sometimes it arises from applying for a permit In such cases we must then look at other legislation the police law Oh I've said that I'm open to it even though I don't have any concrete news today
