Moderaterna and Liberalerna are pushing for an expansion of Europol, proposing a centralized EU police force to combat organized crime ahead of the EU elections.

Liberalerna's Simona Mohamsson stresses the need to outpace gang criminals, while Party leader Johan Pehrson suggests EU-wide business bans and tightened movement restrictions.

They argue that better cooperation between EU member states is essential, as current loopholes allow criminals to operate across borders.

However, opposition parties prefer enhanced collaboration between individual national police forces rather than a unified EU body.
