State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell has criticized other countries’ harsh measures to stop the spread of the crown.

Something that angers former Prime Minister Carl Bildt.

“This is not a crisis where you should sit on high horses,” says Svenska Dagbladet.

Sweden’s unique approach to restrictions during the crown pandemic has attracted international attention. While other countries have banned everything from meeting more than two people at the same time to walking out the door, Sweden has largely appealed to people’s common sense.

Strong measures in the United States and Germany, for example, have led to demonstrations and protests.

– Underline what we have been saying all along, that it is important to have a sustainable strategy. And much of what we have seen is not sustainable. Tegnell has previously told Svenska Dagbladet that you can’t lock people up as long as you want or keep schools closed.

A statement that Carl Bildt, a former prime minister and foreign minister, is now highly critical of.

After the article, Bildt tweeted that the government should tell Tegnell “with some sharpness” that it should not criticize other countries. When SvD wonders if he thinks the state epidemiologist should be covered in some kind of gag, the answer is yes.

– No, it’s not strange, and yes, I did. Carl Bildt tells the magazine that this is not a crisis where you have to sit on some tall horses.

Bildt believes that Sweden’s attitude can be perceived as indifferent.

He also believes that Sweden should contribute more to the EU during the crown crisis, for example, by injecting more money into the common fund to help particularly affected countries.

– I was bothered by the removal of the EU flag at press conferences. I see that when you have a video conference with other EU leaders, you take the EU flag and then take it out again. Such things are noticeable, he tells SvD.
