The importance of democracy became a topical issue in today's party leadership debate due to the recent tumult in the United States.

Stefan Löfven then criticized Jimmie Åkesson for the rhetoric he uses.

Among other things, he highlighted two sentences that the Sweden Democrats have published on social media: "Choose side and prepare for battle" and "this means war in the Riksdag and future election movements".

- To claim in front of followers and voters that there will be war in the Riksdag, it is not really the language of democracy.

In this, Jimmie Åkesson stands out among the other party leaders, said Stefan Löfven.

The SD leader then took up examples from lyrics that are sung in connection with the first of May.

- "The old shall be overthrown", "up to battle", "the last battle it is".

I'm pretty sure that Prime Minister Stefan Löfven sings this at least once a year in connection with the first of May.

Clean in front of your own door, Stefan Löfven.

He continued his criticism of the Prime Minister.

- Stefan Löfven has won two elections in a row and he has made this country more insecure, more fragmented and more polarized than ever.

Stefan Löfven is a problem.
