L wants corona commission "as soon as possible"

Most parliamentary parties agree that a corona commission needs to be established, but the water divider has been talking about when.

In early May, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven (S) announced the establishment of a so-called corona commission to evaluate the Swedish crisis management during the pandemic. The proposal was for the Commission to be in place after the crisis was over.

The initiative has been supported by opposition parties, but when the news came, the Christian Democrats demanded that the Commission be set up even before the crisis is over.

The Moderates also agree that the Corona Commission should be in place even before the crisis is over. In a debate article in Dagens Nyheter, party leader Ulf Kristersson and party secretary Gunnar Strömmer wrote that the Commission should be in place already before the summer.

The Liberals see the value of having a corona commission in place, but are vague when they want it to be up and running.

- We are positive to a corona commission. We see that the crisis will last for a long time, so we want it to be in place as soon as possible, says Adam Alfredsson, Liberal Press chief.

To TT, party leader Nyamko Sabuni (L) has given a similar answer.

- I think it is important that we start to see this situation that we are in as the new normal and that we make decisions that are adapted to the situation we are in. Therefore, I think it would be good that we get a commission on place as soon as the government can get it in place, says Liberals leader Nyamko Sabuni.

The Left Party seems to be more on the government's line when it comes to timing.

- Everyone wants a commission, but I think it might be wise to wait until after the summer. It is supposed to draw conclusions and lessons, and we do not know what the summer will be, so we would like to wait a while, but we do not put any prestige on the matter, says party leader Jonas Sjöstedt (V).
