After Thursday's incident where Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M ) were attacked with tomatoes in the Riksdag, the parties' group leaders have been called to an extra meeting on Monday to discuss security.

According to information to Ekot, they are considering installing Plexiglas panels between the audience and the members as a security measure.

The Speaker of the Riksdag, Andreas Norlén, expresses his outrage at the incident and emphasized that it is unacceptable to disrupt meetings, in this case by throwing objects. The incident has led to increased security requirements in the Riksdag.
