Reinfeldt on Iran: EU Response Requires Caution (Raw Video)

Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt at a press conference in Stockholm today:

"Iran is a very important country, in the South and in the region, and to understand the world a lot today. I think it was a clear message given in the elections and very clearly also afterwards in the reaction that Iranian people in itself according for reforms and freedom, something we know about, we think it is very important and we stand up for in Europe and we will do so everywhere. But of course we must ask ourselves the question how could we put this and at the same time not coming to a position where we have been before that we polarise Iran from the rest of the world and that we are made an excuse for the use of violence or the use of repression inside Iran. That was the balance we needed to struck in Europe and also in other parts of the world."

@SvenningssonSwe Det borde finnas en regel att varje person som kommer så högt upp i rangen som mona sahlin bör ha flera år av högre utbildning. mer meritokrati till folket tack

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@SvenningssonSwe Om du nödvändigtvis vill ha det på svenska... nej, jag skulle inte rösta på ett kommunistparti dvs Vänsterpartiet, oavsett om de bytte ut Lars Ohlidlig mot Barack Obama. Utbildningen är inte ALLT. Däremot får du det att låta som om utbildningen inte är värd ett skit, vilket är att gå lite i överkant. Jag respekterar välutbildade partiledare. Är de dessutom ledare för partier jag håller med så dubbelt upp.

[SvenningssonSwe]

@DrStrangebomb1993 ja så ideologier spelar ingen roll, om ett kommunistparti skulle har en partiledare bättre än reinfeldts skulle du vilja ha honom som statsminister?

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@SvenningssonSwe Yes I value the party leaders with good education. Why should I not? Governing a country is much tougher than your impression, most likely based on SimCity Societies. Steering Sweden through its worst financial crisis since 1929 takes education. Or doesn't education matter? Would you like an uneducated surgeon to perform surgery on you? No. I want an intelligent person to represent me, not a thieving scumbag as Mona Sahlin.

[SvenningssonSwe]

@DrStrangebomb1993 så du baserar allt på hur bra utbildning partiledarna har?

@tshapour didnt you get smarter words

[DrStrangebomb1993]

Reinfeldt is the best thing that happened to Sweden since they reached 3rd place in the 1994 FIFA World Cup. I mean seriously, would you prefer Mona "Stalin" Sahlin, the leader of the social democrats? She hasn't got a higher education; Reinfeldt has. Easy maths for anyone who's educated. Which apparently can't be said for most of the social democrat voting base, seeing how they chose that stupid woman to lead them...
