During the Moderates’ Sweden meeting, the party’s largest annual conference that began on Friday, gun violence and the shooting death in Skärholmen have dominated the agenda. The focus has been on how the party will tackle serious crime in society.
– It is extremely important for this government to achieve results, to show results in the fight against crime, says SVT’s domestic political commentator Mats Knutson.

This has also drawn attention away from the debated gender identity law, which caused some division within the Moderates, says Mats Knutson.
– Instead, the meeting has been completely dominated by gross violence.
