2025 could set a record for bombings in Sweden

  1. Since the bot is not picking it up, here is the text:

    **At the beginning of 2025, Sweden has seen an alarming increase in explosions, with an average of one bombing per day.** **The negative trend raises concerns that this year could be a dismal record year.**

    As of January 27, 2025, 27 bombings have occurred in the country. The figure indicates an upward trend compared to 2024.

    The latest bombing took place overnight, when an explosion was triggered at an apartment building in Bro, northwest of Stockholm. One person was reportedly slightly injured in connection with the blast.

    A young man has been arrested for the blast, suspected of attempted murder and criminal damage.

    # “It has escalated”

    In 2024, [police](https://polisen.se/siteassets/dokument/statistik/sprangningarskjutningar/sprangningar-2024.pdf) reported a total of 317 blasts (detonations, attempts and preparations) – a slight decrease from 351 in [2023](https://polisen.se/siteassets/dokument/statistik/sprangningarskjutningar/sprangningar-2023-ny.pdf). The escalation and increase underline the seriousness of the situation and the need for effective action.

    *– It has escalated in December and January, where we see a sharp increase in bomb violence,* Erik Lindblad, national operations manager at the police, told the tax-funded [SVT](https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/skjutningar-minskar-men-inte-sprangningar-katastrof?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

    The police have intensified their efforts to counteract the trend, but the problems remain.

    *– It is an unreasonably high number of bombings, absolutely,* says Erik Lindblad*.*

    Reports of another bombing, in Nacka, east of Stockholm, have been received. This would be the 28th such attack this year.“It has escalated”In 2024, police reported a total of 317 blasts (detonations, attempts and preparations) – a slight decrease from 351 in 2023.

    Several of the recent bombings have taken place in residential areas. Fortunately, the majority of these incidents have not resulted in personal injuries, but many have caused significant material damage, along with the psychological impact such bombings have on civil society.

    However, serious injuries have become more common as bombings increase, coupled with the fact that criminals have become more reckless, showing little regard for who is affected. For example, in September 2023, a 25-year-old woman died after a bombing in Fullersta, north of Uppsala.

    The government has announced tougher penalties for bombings and increased support for the police in the form of resources and powers. Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer has repeatedly emphasized in the media the importance of reversing the negative trend and restoring safety in society. Despite the claimed political efforts, the criminal gangs’ use of bombs and explosives in society continues to rise.

    Experts warn that if the current trend persists, 2025 could set a record for the number of bombings in Sweden.

  2. How can things like that happen? According to certain people there “are no problems in Sweden, it’s just made up by certain people”.

    Who are the perpetrators? No information about them.

  3. So given that there is not one word about the ideology or the perpetrators of these many bombings, would it be safe to assume that the bombings are being overwhelmingly done by the sorts of people who have significant geopolitical influence to have the news media cover for them and whom tend to explode with rage at the slightest criticism or failure to meet their unreasonable demands?

    I mean let’s not pretend it’s the Secular Humanists or the Jains who are to blame. And if it was Russian saboteurs the western media would talk about it non stop.

  4. I wonder what happened to Sweden.

    For example, here are the numbers of reported sexual crimes (including child sex abuse) per year.

    I removed the years before 2000, because the table would be too long, and because pictures are disabled, I can’t post a graph. And it’s probably for the better, because it would make these numbers look even worse.

    Gee, I wonder what happened in just those 24 years ….
