The Left Party in Stockholm is going into the election with a plan to eliminate profit-making actors from the city’s welfare services by 2034.

The party says the cost to the city would be low, although the exact amount remains unclear. The proposal would target profit-driven providers across welfare services, including preschools.

Alexandra Mattsson, the Left Party’s group leader in Stockholm, criticized what she called an unacceptable system. “It is a sick system that I, as a municipal politician and the person ultimately responsible for preschool operations, cannot decide which providers we want to run preschools in Stockholm today,” she said.
