Sweden surrenders and asks the army for help against rampant crime
Sweden has asked its army to help police fight gang crime, following a sharp increase in murders and bomb attacks in the Scandinavian country, the Financial Times reported.
The centre-right Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, announced after a meeting on Friday with the head of the Swedish Defense Forces and the police chief that he would ask for help from the army in the following week. It also said it would look into changing the law to allow the military to provide further assistance.
“ I cannot stress enough how serious the situation is. Sweden has never seen anything like this before. No other European country is experiencing such a situation at the moment ,” Kristersson said in a televised address to the nation on Thursday evening.
Police chiefs said Sweden is facing its most serious internal security situation since World War II due to the involvement of criminal immigrant gangs in a bloody conflict. In 2022 there were 3 92 firefights and 62 deaths.
We are now in a situation where in some cities criminal gangs are the masters, reaching the level of organizing minors at the level of child soldiers who are not prosecutable due to their young age.
Last year a record was already set for the number of fatal shootings in Sweden, and September this year is on track to become the worst month since records began.
“It is naive political policy and lack of awareness that have brought us here,” the Swedish prime minister said. “It is an irresponsible immigration policy and a failed integration effort that brought us here. Social exclusion and parallel societies fuel criminal gangs. That is where they can ruthlessly recruit children and train them as future killers,” he said.
Swedish news has been filled with a daily tally of shootings and bomb attacks that have begun killing relatives of gang members and innocents, as well as those involved in gang activity. “Innocent people are being murdered and injured,” said Anders Thornberg, Sweden's police chief.
Think with what joy the Swedes are seeing thousands of irregular immigrants landing on the southern coasts of the Mediterranean, knowing that a significant part will then arrive in their Nordic lands and join the gangs that now control part of the Nordic cities.
