    Sweden’s “leader”… so their president? The title makes it sound like it’s North Korea

      Sweden is a monarchy, they have a king, not a president. But in this case it seems to be the prime minister

        That too. I wonder what legal authority the military even has over civilians. Where I come from the military has absolutely no authority, except in times of war and when it comes to protecting the outer borders of the country.

          Their authority is very limited but in very specific cases the police can request help for things like terrorism and maybe hostage situations.

          This is basically about the government discussing if they should and could expand the authority of the police to request help.
