Social Democrats demand government bring the Swedes home after Iran war

Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson demands that the government do more to bring home Swedes stranded as a result of the Iran war. But the prime minister is fighting back. It's just quarrelsome, as usual, says Ulf Kristersson (M).

An emergency team has been sent to Saudi Arabia, but more is needed, according to Andersson.

If it is possible to send emergency teams to the region, it must also be possible to send people home, she says.

Other countries appear to be much more proactive.

She believes that Sweden should cooperate with the rest of the EU to find solutions. But Kristersson says that is already happening.

They're people in the stands who sit and watch and then complain. All countries see roughly the same problem right now; all EU countries are cooperating on this, he says.
