Kristersson Denounces Orbán’s Claims as “Outrageous Lies”

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s recent accusations against Sweden, calling them “outrageous lies.” Orbán claimed that more than 280 girls in Sweden had been arrested for murder, figures that are inaccurate.
Orbán’s remarks, made in a video post online, accused Sweden of collapsing under criminal violence and criticized its government for “lecturing” Hungary on the rule of law. The video also included misleading clips, some not even from Sweden.
Kristersson fired back, saying the claims were politically motivated ahead of Hungary’s election and highlighted Orbán’s own erosion of the rule of law. According to Sweden’s crime statistics, 92 cases of deadly violence were recorded last year, far from Orbán’s claims.
