The Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) said at a press conference on Thursday that "we do not have control over the wave of violence".

The Prime Minister says that he has lost control. Then he needs to act on it and invite the parties and party leaders of the Riksdag to gather the nation and actually get a stop to it and get to the bottom of it, says Dadgostar.

Now is not the time for "divisive debates" according to her, but rather a joint effort to "restore safety".

Crush the Structure

Dadgostar primarily wants to see strong efforts to catch the children and young people who are at risk of being recruited by gangs.

We need to crush this structure. We need a completely new way of allocating resources to everything from schools to social services to identify these children and intervene and surround them before it happens, she says.

The security situation in Sweden also worries the leader of the Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Åkesson.

We have a chaotic situation. It's a security situation that is completely unimaginable, he says.

Åkesson says that he understands if there is frustration over the situation, but points out that it takes time to get new legislation in place.

There is an incredible amount of legislation underway. There is a lot to clean up after previous governments, but a lot will happen.

"Sharper Tools"

The most important thing right now is that the police have the tools and powers they need, Åkesson believes, and he is convinced that they do.

Right now, the police don't need to focus on new legislation, but on doing their job.

The leader of The Liberals, Johan Pehrson, describes a "national crisis situation" and primarily points to the opportunities to shut down the chats where criminals seek out young people who can commit crimes.

We have good pressure on the serious violence, but more needs to be done. More and sharper tools are needed, primarily to interrupt the communication that makes it possible to recruit young people.
