And in a broader respect: 'Democracy'.

P.S. To the Admins: I am assuming this topic (tho' WCE material) won't spark a flamewar here. My apology if needed -I am not trying to stretch the rules here- but I really dont think any fellow simmer will take offence here.

Note: Dont simply assume I identified with all of her political positions (i dont even know 99% of 'em), but point is: she was a democratically elected politician, wife and mother of 2 boys.

From reading the responses in other forums from Swedes - She was also well liked and trusted by the population (didn't just sweet talk her way in).

Very tragic. Hope they catch the lowlife who did this.

I don't think this is WCE stuff, tragic whenever this happens. I don't know what her political stance is, don't really care.

Too bad, my prayers are for her and her family.

Very sad...but frightening to realize that since the prime minister death,the protection of swedish VIP(the real ones)did not improve.Democratic countries would be proud that their ministers could go alone in the streets,but unfortunatly it seems utopic.
