“The plan: Book on Drottninggatan”
“Two years have passed since the terrorist bombings in central Stockholm.”
“Now brought again the plans to life on a monument There.”
“– We must honour the victims and never forget, ” says Kristoffer Tamsons (M), trafikregionsråd in the Region of Stockholm.”
“today it has been two years since the terror attack on Drottninggatan shopping street in central Stockholm, where Rakhmat Akilov murdered five people. “
“Early on raised the question that there should be erected a monument in the vicinity, in honour of the victims. But so far, it has not become a reality.”
“Now lifted the tank to life again, of trafikregionsrådet Kristoffer Tamsons (M) in the Region of Stockholm. He wants it erected a monument at Åhléns, just where the truck that Akilov drove crashed into.”
“– the Whole course of events, both in its tragic part, when it came to terror, but also the strength that was manifested by the whole of Swedish society, is something we should remember and never forget. I would therefore like to take this initiative on a monument. I would like to see we would construct it at the place, where the locals chose to begin to gather when it came to blomsternedläggningar and best wishes to the victims.”
“”Stood up against terror ‘”
“He hopes that both the city and the state, in addition to the Stockholm region would like to be there when a monument is to be developed.”
” I hope and believe that this is something that would be able to attract the interest of the whole of Swedish society. We do it together we show the unifying force as we showed when we stood up against terror jointly in a difficult moment.”
“Tamsons is in his role is responsible for public transport in Stockholm, which is paralysed by Akilovs.. “
“– When terror struck at the Stockholm was the first both ordningsvakterna at Åhléns, but also our own trygghetsresurser as stewards, guardians and trygghetsvärdar that was first in place, to help those affected. Then came the rest of the society’s rescue resources with the police, the ambulance and the fire brigade and others.”
“– It was also in the SL traffic, thanks to our trygghetskameror, that we could identify and track up Akilov and be the police assistance so that he very quickly could be arrested.”
“Something to gather around.”
“A monument, says the Tamsons, is important for several reasons.”
“– It is something to gather around, to honor and remember the victims. Their families would have a place they can come to. When something as hard as terrorism affects a city, I think there are reasons for us to ask ourselves how we can defend the Swedish society. Then we need to symbols, over time, gather around.”
“– Many times, we are bad at it in Sweden. In other countries who have been victims of war and terror, you are much better at commemorating both the victims and the heroes.”
“Within the city of Stockholm, it has long been discussions about a memorial, but is still plans in the bud.”
“Anna König Jerlmyr (M), mayor of the city of Stockholm, says:”
” I would like to have seen that the memorial stood on the spot at this point. Now ensures I that a timetable for the memorial’s construction is set up. The work ahead needs, of course, involve the next of kin.”
