(EUobserver) Sweden has called for an EU immigration crackdown to stop terrorism, with a right-wing slant on Muslims that risks sharpening division.
EU ministers should discuss in December how to prevent attacks such as the killing of two Swedish football fans by an Islamist extremist in Brussels on 16 October, the Swedish government said in a letter on Tuesday (7 November).
“Recently, we have once again seen the ugly face of terrorism show itself in the heart of Europe, when three Swedish citizens were gunned down [the third victim was injured] during a football match in Brussels, merely for being Swedish,” Sweden’s justice and migration ministers, Gunnar Strömmer and Maria Malmer Stenergard, said.
