Minister for Justice Gunnar Strömmer (The Moderate Party) is inviting all party group leaders to a meeting about the recent incidents in connection with demonstrations at the parliament.

The meeting will be about the safety of the elected officials.

The national police chief, the SÄPO chief and the Riksdag's security department are also invited to the meeting. The meeting will be held next week.

The background is the incident that affected Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M), Minister for Civil Defence, on Monday evening when he was harassed by Palestine activists on his way home from the Riksdag.

"In addition to shouting like idiots in my ears, the vast majority also had both film cameras and mobile phones", Bohlin wrote on X.

He estimates that there were at most 15-20 people. He tells TT that it felt "unpleasant and somewhat threatening".

The police are investigating the incident as harassment.
