- 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.
