National Mourning and Political Reactions Across Sweden

On Saturday morning, around 70 people gathered at the memorial site that the municipality prepared, carrying flowers and lighting candles, TT reported. Flowers and candles were left outside the Brinell school in Fagersta where Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and opposition leader Magdalena Andersson went on Saturday morning to honour the dead student and three wounded victims. Minnea, a Brinell student who also went to honour the victims on Saturday, told the SVT broadcaster: 同じテーブルに座り、言葉を交わした相手が突然亡くなってしまったと思うと、非常に恐ろしいと語った。 Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, in an earlier X post, lamented the violence in Fagersta right after the summer break. 事件の背景にあるものはまだ判明していないが、警察が極めて集中的に捜査を進めていることは分かっていると彼は述べた。 影響を受けたすべての人々に思いを寄せていると彼は付け加えた。 Kristersson also expressed solidarity with the families affected by the attack and with those impacted by previous school attacks in Sweden, stating, 決して起きてはならないことが再び起きてしまったと述べた。 Kristersson was joined in Fagersta by Magdalena Andersson, leader of the main opposition Social Democrats.

With Sweden’s parliamentary election due in September, political parties suspended campaign events on Saturday. Kristersson also invited all party leaders to a meeting to discuss the progress of the investigation.

A History of School Violence Revives National Debates

Sweden has seen a series of violent school attacks over the years. Last year, 11 people, including the gunman, died after an attack at an education center in Örebro. The recent sword attack in Fagersta also bore similarities to a 2015 school attack in the western town of Trollhattan in which a 21-year-old killed three people in a racially motivated attack.
