During a debate in the parliament last autumn, which among other things dealt with Gaza, people in the audience threw an object at Maria Malmer Stenergard.
It turned out to be a bag with tomatoes and red onions and a man and two women were later sentenced to day fines for the attack.
After that, a net was put up in front of the audience stand on a trial basis. Now, the Speaker Andreas Norlén tells Sveriges Radio Ekot that there will continue to be a net in the chamber.
It must be seen as an expression of a heightened security situation that we are looking closely at different security measures in the parliament, he says.
The first net has now been replaced with a specially made one, which is easy to lower and put back.
I can understand if you think it's a bit more boring than before to sit in the audience, because it's clear that the net for the audience means a deterioration, says Norlén to the radio and continues:
It's very sad that there are people who do not respect the rules that apply, but have used the audience to convey their messages, instead of behaving as they should.
What do you think?
