  • Dagens Nyheter’s editorial says the Moderates falsely claim that the Social Democrats wanted to retain a quantity discount for serious offenders.
  • The editorial characterizes the claim as a major political risk for the Moderates.

The Moderates say the Social Democrats wanted to keep a quantity discount for people convicted of serious crimes. That claim is false, Dagens Nyheter’s editorial argues.

The newspaper presents the dispute as more than a disagreement over criminal justice policy. It says the Moderates are taking a major risk by making an assertion about the Social Democrats’ position that does not hold up.
