Lindy: ‘A lot of countries are worried’

In an interview with Aftonbladet, outgoing Foreign Minister Anne Lind (S) expressed similar sentiments.

– It is no secret that many countries are concerned about the rise of right-wing nationalists. It’s one of the most frequently asked questions now: What does this mean? Lindy says.
