The Sweden Democrats' proposal for life imprisonment for 15-year-olds who commit particularly serious crimes is to be negotiated with the government, according to the Sweden Democrats.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (The Moderate Party) believes it is too early to take a stance on the issue.

The severity of the crime should be reflected in the sentence, he emphasizes.

It means that young people should also be able to be sentenced to very long prison sentences when they commit serious crimes, there is no doubt about that. Exactly how it will turn out, we will get back to.

The proposal for life imprisonment was included in the Sweden Democrats' motion with 43 points aimed at making it "unbearable" to be a gang criminal. The motion has now been withdrawn with reference to forthcoming negotiations with the government.

Gunnar Strömmer says it is not a special negotiation, but part of an ongoing dialogue between the government and the collaborating party, the Sweden Democrats.

We will consider the proposals, analyze and discuss them, and then we'll see where it lands.
