In a party leader’s debate on the EU in the Riksdag on Wednesday, Ulf Kristersson addresses the flare-up of anti-Semitism in Sweden.
— Both in Sweden and Europe, people can have different opinions about the conflicts in the Middle East. It belongs to our democracy, he says and continues:
— But it is completely unacceptable when actions and demonstrations against the war there turn into hatred and threats against Jews here.
Kristersson emphasizes that the government stands behind the Jewish minority in Sweden and quotes French President Emmanuel Macron.
— We must bring anti-Semitism back to where it belongs, in court and behind bars. No tolerance for the intolerant.
