He sees today's social problems as a threat to Swedish justice.

In a just Sweden, well-behaved people should not have to stay indoors because dangerous people are out. In a just Sweden, cheating should be punished, while effort should pay off, says the Prime Minister in a digital speech on National Day.

The just society must be nurtured and defended.

He also mentions inflation, which has caused prices to skyrocket.

– It's tough right now, for both companies and families. Many feel anxious about the state of the world – what it means for me, for my work, for my children's future. I have great respect for that anxiety.

Kristersson adds that Sweden has gotten through difficulties before.

In times of seriousness, we gather. Young and old. Women and men. City and country. Right and left. Sweden is not just our common home, but also our common responsibility, he says.
