Justice and Migration Minister Morgan Johansson (S) made purchases on the midday trip, despite recommendations from FHM and the government to avoid congestion.
– Spontaneously, it feels incredibly inappropriate, virus researcher Joakim Esbjörnsson-Klemendz tells SVT.
Minister Morgan Johansson (S) was seen on the second day on a shopping trip at the Nova shopping center in Lund.
As the maximum number of visitors had already been reached in the mall, the minister had to queue until he could be admitted. At his side, he must also have had several bodyguards.
In an SMS to SVT, Morgan Johansson has responded to his actions, where he also confirms that he has been to the mall to buy a Christmas present.
“I visited a mall the other day to buy a late Christmas present for my parents. It was an oversight and he should have planned that purchase better. However, there was no congestion and a safe distance could be maintained thanks to the guards who regulated the number of visitors, ”he writes.

It goes against the recommendations
Both the Swedish Public Health Agency and Prime Minister Stefan Löfven have previously called for the avoidance of, among other things, shopping malls to reduce the spread of infection.
Virus researcher Joakim Esbjörnsson-Klemendz, associate professor of virology at Lund University, is surprised by the information about the purchase of Christmas gifts from Johansson.
– As far as I know, a minister and a prime minister are covered by the recommendations of the Public Health Agency. Spontaneously, it feels incredibly inappropriate if it’s not about something that can’t be helped, like a visit to the pharmacy or something like that, she tells SVT.
According to DN, Stefan Löfven must have had contact with Johansson about the incident.
“The Prime Minister has been in contact with the Minister of Justice, who has reported on the incident on the second day of Christmas and the possibility of being able to maintain a safe distance at the time of purchase. The prime minister shares the justice minister’s opinion that he was careless, “writes the prime minister’s press secretary, Mikael Lindström, to DN.
Now Morgan Johansson has also responded to criticism on Twitter, after drawing attention to his visit to the mall.
