The moderates: "The gangs recruit child soldiers"

Minister of the Interior Mikael Damberg (S) also reacts strongly to young people in gang crime.

- It is a serious development we have seen in recent years, that when the police bring in leaders in gangs, we see that they exploit young people in their criminal activities, also for murders and shootings.

Both the Social Democrats and the Moderates are pushing for tougher punishments and stricter laws against gang crime as the method forward.
