Center Party for a politics that leads to barbed wire and concrete barriers on Drottninggatan, says SD's top candidate Charlie Weimers in SR's final debate.

The top candidates of the parties in the EU election clashed in Sveriges Radio's final debate on Tuesday. The tongues wagged hot about migration, a question that divides the parties.

Emma Wiesner accused "barbed wire conservatism" of not taking responsibility and standing up for the migration pact that took almost ten years for the EU to negotiate.

The Sweden Democrats have made building walls in Europe their big election issue.

In an exchange of words, Weimers countered that if the EU's border is not secured, there will be barbed wire and concrete barriers on Drottninggatan. He referred to the terrorist attack in Stockholm 2017, where the perpetrator had been staying illegally in Sweden. Five people were killed in the attack.

After the debate, SD's top figures elaborate on the reasoning.

Center Party's top candidate strongly opposes this description.

Moderate Party candidate Tomas Tobé, who would like to cooperate with the Sweden Democrats in the EU after the election, does not want to comment on Weimers' rhetoric.

Another hot topic was the discussion over the past few days about possible cooperation with extreme right-wing parties, where S attacked both SD and KD.

Charlie Weimers emphasizes that negotiations over support for Ukraine would not be included in cooperation with extreme right-wing parties.

Even KD's Alice Teodorescu Måwe refutes Fritz's claim of cooperation with extreme right-wing parties.

She says that KD will not make deals with parties that are not for Ukraine.
