Prime Minister Stefan Löfven (S) still does not want to say if there will be a new investigation into the sinking of the Estonian passenger ferry in 1994.
The advice of the experts seems to be crucial.
A new documentary showing a large, hitherto unknown hole in the ship’s hull has created a huge debate about what actually happened in the Baltic Sea that night in September.
– Now that we have seen the photos, let those who best know how to make the assessment advise us what the alternatives may be, is there an alternative or several alternatives? Based on that, we will act, says Stefan Löfven during a visit to Västerås.
He repeatedly refers to expert authorities, including the Accident Investigation Board, who will review the new material. The Hole Commission report on the Estonian disaster in the 1990s did not detect the hole.
TT: Do you think the relatives and relatives of the victims are happy with that response?
– I think the best thing to do now is to do it thoroughly. For: one not to draw too quick conclusions, two let those who best judge what could be for something, give us political advice and based on that we make decisions.
TT: How remarkable is this information about the hole?
– This is new information and that is why we say that then our expert authority should be able to look at it and give their assessment of how this hole has come to be, says Stefan Löfven.
