– Sweden must be able to guarantee the safety of people even in crisis during peacetime. The government appoints a committee where all parliamentary parties are represented, and the committee will review how future governments should have greater opportunities for action in crisis, says Stefan Löfven, and mentions things like natural disasters, widespread contagion and terrorist attacks.
– Simply facts that carry great consequences for society, situations that require the government to have a legal basis to make the decisions that the situation requires, says Löfven.
According to the Minister of the Interior, Mikael Damberg (S) is the ambition that the government “in certain exceptional situations during peacetime” can take over parts of the legislation, the task that otherwise falls to the Riksdag.
The parliamentary commission will be appointed next year. The scope and complexity of the issue means that the investigation is not expected to be completed before the elections in the fall of 2022. It should not be possible to implement constitutional amendments lightly, which is guaranteed by the fact that two Parliamentary decisions with an election in between must go into effect.
– This is a long-term job, says Interior Minister Mikael Damberg.
The government also appoints An investigation into the development of a new law on care for the elderly, in light of what the Prime Minister calls a failure in this area during the pandemic:
– Sweden as a whole during the pandemic has failed to protect the elderly in elderly care. And even though the staff really did their best, elderly care was not equipped to deal with a pandemic like this, says Stefan Löfven.
He exemplifies that the company has been “poorly financed for a long time and under various governments and municipal governments.”
– A clearer national governance is needed. The cracks in our well-being must be sealed, care for the elderly must be strengthened more than it was before the pandemic crisis, says Löfven.
Anders W Jonsson, Downtown Party spokesman for health care policy, gives government proposals as much praise as rice.
– The Center Party has long lobbied for pandemic legislation to work, to move away from the advanced mosaic of various exceptions and temporary solutions. It is good that the government has listened, but we can also affirm that there are deficiencies in the current bill, says Anders W Jonsson.
In the proposal, it lacks regulation on how compensation must be paid, as in other crisis laws, to the activities in question.
– It is a moral issue, of course, that wide-ranging interventions by the public in people’s financial circumstances should form the basis of compensation. The Center Party will continue to work for the government to follow the Riksdag’s decision and introduce a regulation guaranteeing the right to compensation for the activities in question, Jonsson says.
