At a glance
- Handels representatives Linda Palmetzhofer and Elinor Odeberg accuse Sweden’s Tidö government of favoring people with the highest incomes.
- They argue that Sweden can afford measures to ease ordinary people’s financial burdens.
The Tidö government has repeatedly favored those who already earn the most, while ordinary people are forced to go to work sick, forgo dental care and worry about their pensions, Handels representatives Linda Palmetzhofer and Elinor Odeberg write.
The authors reject the government’s claim that Sweden cannot afford to reduce the burdens facing ordinary people. They call that argument untrue and urge readers not to accept what they describe as a political trick.
