Human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2023 (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Last year, the Sweden Democrats gathered a majority for the EU to stop funding campaigns with messages like "Freedom lies in the hijab". Unfortunately, the Commission did not listen and a few hours later, Ylva Johansson's Directorate-General had posted the next hijab-normalising video about football and girls in hijab. Hijab is coercion and oppression. Hijab is h…

Recent attacks on Christmas Eve in Plateau State in Nigeria

Mr President, in the wake of the slaughter of 335 Christians by Muslims in Nigeria, I very much welcome this debate. Atrocities against Christians don’t fit the EU narrative. We just heard the left label the systematic persecution of Christians in Nigeria a tribal conflict between herdsmen and farmers. Well, was it a coincidence that the slaughter and burning of churches took place on Christmas Ev…

Need to fight the increase of antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred (debate)

Thanks for the question, Evin! The Swedish Democrats have adopted a zero-tolerance policy against racism.

Need to fight the increase of antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred (debate)

Sweden was not antisemitic at all before, but that has changed. For centuries, European Jews have been interwoven in the tapestry of our history, culture, art, science, philosophy and law, but that has chang…

Madam President, X, formerly Twitter, is no longer a leftist safe space for woke snowflakes. It’s a bastion for free speech, just as Elon Musk promised.

Mr President, the war between Israel and Hamas is between a liberal democracy defending itself against an EU-listed terror organisation supported by authoritarian states such as Iran, China, Russia and North Korea. To establish a ceasefire, the answer is simple: Hamas must release all hostages, including the remains of those murdered, and ensure their safe and dignified return to Israel. For peace…
