Sweden's security service Säpo has announced new measures following revelations that a relative of Johan Forssell, a minister, has ties to right-wing extremist circles. Forssell has been summoned to the social insurance committee to address the issue, with opposition voices demanding transparency. There is uncertainty about whether Forssell remains in office amid the controversy, as the government has avoided commenting on his status. Criticism has also been directed at Säpo's protective measures, with experts from the Swedish Defence University suggesting that Forssell's family members should have received better protection. The situation presents both political and journalistic challenges in Sweden.
