Now government jobs move to the country – financial times

OPINION

minister of rural affairs Sven-Erik Bucht was going to receive 75 proposals to strengthen the Swedish countryside.

Aftonbladet leader board is independent socialist. Ledarsidan driver opinion for equality, justice, feminism, and the equal value of all.

That a government investigation where all parliamentary parties are represented manages to present 75 more or less concrete proposal is unusual. That there is almost consensus may sound unlikely.

Yet, it is precisely what the parliamentary landsbygdskommittén have succeeded with. Yesterday handed over the investigation of their proposal to the Swedish countryside minister Sven-Erik Bucht.

No small things

There are no small things the members want to see implemented.
A näringslivspaket with education, government jobs and subsidies to a few highly vulnerable municipalities. A new state service organization, the stop for the closure of the public Employment service office, and new demands on the police utryckningstider.

in Addition, the commission of inquiry to 10 000 government jobs to be moved out from Stockholm, that the equalisation system is updated and a special loan for housing construction in rural areas. And so on…

Rotblöta

With an imagery that was hardly a coincidence spoke to Sven-Erik Bucht a "real rotblöta" for the Swedish countryside.

If this is thus, the eight parties – also, The sweden democrats have been in the investigation – largely in agreement. It shows that the Swedish regional policy challenges become difficult to ignore.

does it Mean that the road is razed for a new rural policy?

Hardly.

Other conflicts

When it comes to regional policy goes, the conflicts are not always between the parties, and of course can a bet on the countryside mean fewer resources to someone else. More police officers in the country are becoming fewer in the suburb, housing in the country costs money that can’t be used to build housing in university cities, for example.

It is about political trade-offs, but Landsbygdkommittén contribute to the needs of rural areas becomes clear. It is necessary if Sweden is to be able to hold together.
