The police had learned from the violent riots that broke out during the Easter weekend and increased both their preparedness and numbers.

- It was a great resource extracted.

We were more yesterday than last Easter, says Helena Fridén, deputy local police area manager in Norrköping.

She also believes that the police have had "a very large portion of cooperation with the municipalities, business, housing companies and good social forces" ahead of Sunday's election meetings.

- We have talked a lot with those who live in the area (Navestad reds note) to get an idea and situation of the area.
