Jimmie Åkesson wants to see life imprisonment for pedophiles who commit sexual offenses against children – or that they castrate themselves. It is a matter that we will go to the election on, said the SD leader to TT in connection with his summer speech in Sölvesborg.

The Christian Democrats, the Sweden Democrats and The Moderate Party have previously come up with proposals for chemical castration before release. But now Åkesson wants to go even further.

I think that life imprisonment is reasonable in connection with the high risk of relapse that exists in this group, and if one wants to have a time-limited sentence, one could consider surgical castration as an option.

Wants to see crime provocation

The SD leader has previously criticized the fact that the police do not have sufficient powers. In his previous summer speech, he proposed a requirement for the police to be allowed to use crime provocation and used Dumpen as a good example. He repeats that wish in this year's summer speech.

Privately driven organizations like Dumpen should not have to do what they do. Not in a country with insight into the necessity of protecting those who need protection the most, he said from the stage.

The SD leader gave his support to Israel in the war against Hamas at the beginning of his speech in Sölvesborg. He accused elected politicians and demonstrators of supporting Hamas - and said that they "often cheer on the gaping madmen, not infrequently foreigners from the Middle East".

We do not want your war on our streets! Is it too much to ask to show the country that has so generously opened its doors to you a little respect?

Interrupted in his speech

On the question of how people who are critical of Israel in such cases should be able to express their criticism, he answers:

One can express that in a civilized way.

So if one demonstrates on the streets for Palestine's sake, and if one does so in a civilized way, as you say, is it okay then?

Yes, we have freedom of demonstration in Sweden, so one has the right to do that.

In the audience, there were some demonstrators who held up cardboard signs where it was written, among other things: "Fuck Israel, Fuck Hamas, Fuck Jimmie you support genocide".

When the SD leader began to talk about the war between Israel and Hamas, the individuals were led out by security guards.

One of the demonstrators is now suspected of incitement against a ethnic group, according to the Skåne police on Saturday evening. Expressen has spoken to the demonstrator, who confirms that she said "heil Hitler".
