The government writes on its website that during the day representatives of all parties in the Riksdag were invited to the meeting.
“The right and opportunity of individuals to get involved politically is part of the foundations of democracy. The opportunity to gather for political meetings under safe and secure conditions is a central part of this. Threats and violence against such gatherings can never be accepted,” the government writes.
Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) will meet the party secretaries and group leaders in the justice committee “to discuss the common path moving forward to better counter attacks, harassment, sabotage and similar types of serious attacks against our democracy”.
During the meeting “relevant authorities will participate to share their picture of the situation”, writes the government.
The government has previously announced that Education Minister Mats Persson and School Minister Lotta Edholm will meet on Thursday with actors who “work against and research on right-wing extremism” for a “high-level round table discussion (sic!) regarding the crime in Gubbängen”.
