It is not clear yet whether the premier has been pressures to seem to act as he is listening or just a fact finding exercise but his presence where he work with the Malmö police picket bus  which took him on Tuesday evening to well known neighbourhood in Malmö to “learn and listen.”

One of the focuses was about the extra efforts deployed against organized crime but also about what is good in Malmo.
“I believe in Malmö, but there are challenges,” says Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.
During his visit he met with entrepreneurs, social workers and some ordinary locals. At night, he followed and worked with the police through various districts in Malmö.

“We should not underestimate that there are social problems. We have had a number of notable crimes and murder. But now we are concentrating resources on doing something about it and Malmö has extremely good prospects,” says Fredrik Reinfeldt.

Malmo is like a problem region in Sweden with the housing estate of Rosnengård described by some as a concentration camp. It is the ghetto of all ghettos and has some of the poorest people in Sweden who looked like have been forgotten, the unemployment rate here is extremely high and residents live with violence and wanton racial and religion discrimination.
 
Malmö is also a place of violent crimes indiscriminate shootings as well as clashed between racial groups and the authorities such as the Jews and the Mayor of the city. As close as Malmö is to Europe, the more its way of live continues to remain turbulent.
