The Social Democrats are calling for Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (M) and National Police Chief Petra Lundh to appear before the justice committee.
This was announced by the Social Democrats' legal spokesperson, Teresa Carvalho, at a press conference.
According to her, the background is that shootings have continued and explosions have increased over the summer.
– It has been a violent summer, says Carvalho.
According to figures from the Social Democrats, there have been 39 shootings and 48 explosions during June, July, and August this year.
– Shootings have decreased slightly, but even when it comes to shootings, we stand out as a country. Should we be satisfied with these levels of shootings? We Social Democrats do not think so, she says.
