– As far as I know, no other emails have been sent, but then the news spread widely throughout the community.
Why did he want Preem to get information before the others this time?
– Yes, it is a question that, it is my Secretary of State who has sent this email and it is a question that actually goes to her, but it was probably a response that she had received from what I understand, says Isabella Lövin.
On September 28, Preem withdrew its application to expand the Lyskeil refinery. Expressen was able to report that Isabella Lövin’s Secretary of State, Eva Svedling, had some time before had several contacts with the CEO of Preem and, among other things, in an email reported in advance about a budget investment related to state credit guarantees of SEK 50 billion.
In the same email, Preem was urged to cheer on the venture, which would be announced later in the evening.
Today Isabella has Lövin answer questions in the Riksdag’s constitutional committee about the government’s handling of Preem’s permit application, but also about the exchange of emails between the Lövin Secretary of State and the Preem CEO in early fall.
One of them, Member of Parliament, Christian Democrat Tuve Skånberg, asked about the suitability of a Secretary of State in an email asking the CEO of Preem to encourage government investment, at the same time the government had the question of Preem on your table.
– Could you even imagine that a court would act in such contact with the person in court?
Isabella Lövin replied that it is important to separate the subject from the dialogues.
– The email was about government policy, not about the permit issue. It had nothing to do with the permit issue, he said.
