– When he does not want to allow Sweden to join NATO, I must teach him freedom of speech so that he does so, Paludam tells Aftonbladet, referring to Erdogan.
The Swedish Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, also referred to the NATO situation as “really grave”.
Christerson said during Press conference on Tuesday.
