It is a huge failure that so many residential areas are unsafe, according to Andersson.
That so many lives are being taken unnecessarily. That children are at risk of being drawn into crime, she says in the speech she gave in Kärrtorp in southern Stockholm on Saturday.
A cross-bloc agreement is needed for a "long-term reform agenda", to, among other things, stop new recruitment, according to Andersson, who now intends to invite Moderate leader Ulf Kristersson to such talks.
“The spine”
When asked whether more parties should be included in the pact, Andersson responded at a press conference before she gave the speech:
It is good if the spine is S and M.
But she is open to more parties joining.
The Social Democrats agree with the government on "most things" regarding efforts against gang crime, such as tougher penalties and more police officers.
This government has done many good things, says Andersson.
Stop new recruitment
But when it comes to stopping new recruitment, the government has been more passive, she thinks.
If we can't stop the recruitment, we can never stop the violence.
In the Christmas speech, however, the S leader simultaneously launched a general attack against the Tidö parties.
The election next year is between two social models.
According to Andersson, the Tidö collaboration is heading towards a social model that is “fundamentally un-Swedish.”
They are heading towards a society that is increasingly relinquishing control. Where society withdraws and other forces step forward and fill the vacuum, Andersson said.
It's the market forces, it's the welfare capitalists, it's the criminal gangs. That's not my vision for Sweden.
