M oderaterna Sweden has initiated the meeting. The party is gathered in Malmö, which on Friday weighed down by rain and the announcement that an economic austerity program awaits the Social Democratic-controlled municipality. The message from the Moderates spring campaign is recurring in speeches and posters at Malmö Exhibition: “Sweden should work.” It can all subscribe to.

As party secretary Tomas Tobé opening speech, the emphasis was on the police, emergency services and health care to work in the exclusion areas. Recently, the Centre Party a proposal to strengthen penalties for crimes against public safety personnel, something the Conservatives are now developing.

Police and emergency services, to ensure that society functions, has recently met with stones and threats. To break the trend and strengthen public safety personnel safety proposes Tobé a fempunktslista. It includes tightening penalties for violence against officials and attacks on essential functions. Police officers have also suggested increased opportunities for damages if they are victims of crime.

The most welcome proposal from Tobé was that the staff in the emergency services and health care will also be protected by the legal provisions on violence and threats against the official. When the staff at many emergency rooms around the country are forced to wear panic, society must intervene. One step to increase security is to raise staff statutory protection.

Improve legislation is not the whole solution. The police need more resources. Tomas Tobé therefore demanded 2000 more police officers of Interior Minister Anders Ygeman (S). The problem is that the party secretary did not stop there. The fifth proposal he put forward was that young people between 15 and 17 who are convicted of crimes against public safety personnel or employees in the health sector should be able to get an internship with the same activities.

The proposal may have its merits, and that is important that young people’s trust is strengthened for important social functions. But given the crisis in the police force is not the right moment. Police need resources and leadership to accomplish his mission, and before they have done so should not the organization charged with stone-throwing trainees.

Although the party secretary put forward some good proposals sunk impression of his appearance of a playful description of one day at Prime Minister Stephen Löfvens life. The internal political points is desirable to pick, Sweden The meeting is a good opportunity to unite the party and then light-hearted and humorous elements play an important role.

But to describe Stefan Löfven in slippers, voter bread and hopeless ministers may seem fun in the preparations for the century. On site was the impression as soon as embarrassing. Miss assessment was that the red-green government is already facing down, it needed no joke to clarify it. Instead of joking, it is better that the Conservatives actually put all our efforts on trying to get Sweden to work.
