Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson admitted that his government has lost control over a burgeoning wave of violence sweeping the country, amid escalating public concern.

The acknowledgment came during an emergency meeting where Kristersson announced the acceleration of new legislation targeting juvenile involvement in criminal activities.

The beginning of 2025 has seen bombings carried out at an average of one per day, leading to 27 bombings by January 27 – including several in residential communities, the Nordic Times reported.

"Sweden is in the midst of a new wave of violence; it's primarily the bombings that are increasing, with almost one occurring every day," Kristersson told reporters on Thursday.

"It's abundantly clear that we do not have control over this wave of violence; otherwise, we wouldn't be here," he added.

In 2024, there were 317 total blasts reported by police, which has coincided with a troubling escalation in gang-related conflicts.

According to the Swedish prime minister, gang violence is now affecting entire communities, showing "total indifference" to the consequences in residential areas. The Swedish Police Authority estimated in 2024 that 1,700 under-18s were active members of criminal networks.

“bomb violence”

The stupidity of the so-called “news” media is nonstop.

It’s got to be intentional.

Are ‘gangs’ a euphemism for north African immigrants?

Swedes I have known were respectful, non-violent people. So it’s not Swedes who are doing the bombing and raping. I wonder who it might be?

Old: Throwing Swedish meatballs at each other in the dining room.

New: Bombs.

Estimated new friends who are Muslims——

...around 8.1% of Sweden’s population is Muslim, which translates to roughly 810,000 people, with the majority of this population attributed to immigration from countries with large Muslim populations in the Middle East, Balkans, and Africa.


2019 figure was 200,445 Muslims.

From the article:

Further recent measures taken to tackle Swedish gang violence a proposal to amend the country’s constitution to strip dual nationals of their citizenship if convincted of involvement in gang crime.

- - - -

They are allowed to use the term ‘dual national’ but they can’t say ‘muslim’.

When will Western leaders, including our own, acknowledge that ISLAM is the problem. ISLAM should have been designated a terrorist organization long ago - and all adherents should have been deported to their beloved Saudia Arabia long ago where they can enjoy their unholy cities of Mecca and Medina.

Bomb show loophole? No background checks for bomb makers? Maybe they need a Bloomberg over there.

Well, now that's a problem. They need to start channeling their "inner Viking" and commence kicking some islamic ass.
