The Spin

Left narrative

While the current attempts by Swedish authorities to stop the rise of criminal organizations in the country are a good start, more comprehensive approaches need to be taken to stem gang violence at the source by addressing the social inequities and lack of opportunities for youth that make them susceptible to gang recruitment and violence. The government cannot merely arrest away such profound social problems.

BNN

Right narrative

Sweden is a country on the brink of implosion, and the government is to blame for this crisis. Politicians in Sweden have allowed for violence and criminal organizations to flourish, at the cost of the safety of Swedish society. Civilian law enforcement organizations are no longer sufficient to stem this out-of-control crime. The army should be allowed to join the fight against corruption and crime in the country before it is too late.
