All parties on the Riksdag’s Social Affairs Committee are asking the government to reconsider its proposal for a new law against the pandemic. They believe that the law should contain rules on how the activities in question will be compensated.
Acko Ankarberg Johansson (KD) and a unanimous social committee believe that the government should include rules for financial compensation in the new pandemic law. Stock Photography.
At this time, the government’s proposal for a new temporary pandemic law is being consulted. It will provide the government with new tools to stop the spread of covid-19.
If deemed necessary, shops, bus terminals, gyms, museums and many other activities should be able to be closed.
– What we have decided in committee is that financial compensation will be awarded to the activities in question, says Acko Ankarberg Johansson (KD), president of the social committee.
– The government is now receiving this announcement and we assume that the government will come back with a successful proposal in the talks that the government will hold with the parties in January prior to the drafting of a bill.
The commission does not require that the amounts for which companies and businesses are compensated be established in the legal text, but it wants the principles to be included. The government has chosen not to include this in the legal text.
– But since it is a framework law, we think that it should be regulated in which cases it can be relevant with compensation, because there will also be quite a few cases in which it will not be relevant, says Ankarberg Johansson.
The committee’s announcement will be debated and decided on Thursday at the Riksdag.
In upcoming partisan talks, Christian Democrats will also have opinions on other parts of the administration’s proposal. This includes the time the government has to return to the Riksdag after deciding on a ban or closure.
The draft states that it must take place within a month of the decision.
– We think it should be a shorter time, says Acko Ankarberg Johansson.
