This summer's media reporting has been a lot about knife robberies, rapes, blasts and shootings. The recent shooting deaths of two women, one of them murdered with a baby in the arms, has further focused on the serious crime that has emerged in Sweden.

Prime Minister Stefan Löfven (S) believes that the government has already taken a number of measures to stop the violent violence, but has signaled that he and the government are prepared to take further action.

Moderator Ulf Kristersson does not think this is enough. He thinks the prime minister is talking the most. The Swedish state can no longer fulfill its basic task of protecting and safeguarding the security of its citizens, the moderator says. He now calls for broad political cooperation with the government on rapid and powerful measures to stop the crime.

"Want to put pressure on Löfven"

The government's 73-point program with the Center Party and the Liberals does not contain much of the crime and how to stop the serious crimes. Here, the Moderate Leader wants to put pressure on Stefan Löfven and the government to act. That he on Sunday contacted the prime minister directly with an invitation to cooperate is thus at least as much about showing the voters that the Moderates want to go further in their efforts against the crime. These are also issues that traditionally lie on the Moderates' home ground, that is, issues where the party enjoys great confidence among voters.

Several of the measures Ulf Kristersson proposes are those that the Social Democrats have previously rejected, but which the party's representatives have recently signaled increased openness to. An example of this is anonymous witnesses, who also the prime minister now says to be prepared to try.

But it is also about proposals that the government has already said it wants to implement, but where no proposals have been made so far, for example about the delayed penal discount for young adults.

Fighting crime: The main issue of the party

Ulf Kristersson also suggests that new resources should be allocated for more surveillance cameras and that more police guards should be able to relieve the police. The moderates also require special visitation zones in vulnerable areas where the police should be able to visit individuals without any specific criminal suspicion.

None of Ulf Kristersson's proposals for today are new. The Moderates and other parties have brought them before.

That the Moderate Party leader chooses to present them all in his speech should be interpreted as measures against crime becoming the party's main issue during the political fall.

The accusations against the government that Stefan Löfven only talks about the problems, without doing anything to them, aims to increase the pressure on the prime minister to act. The political explosiveness of the violence has increased further after this week's shooting in Malmö and Stockholm, and it is hoped the moderate leader will increase the pressure in his political message.

Undoubtedly, judicial policy and crime will become one of the main issues in this autumn's political debate.
