Mats Knutson: "It is very exciting to hear how we can get out of this crisis"

Care is first placed on the debate. The question that the opposition will absolutely want to address is the testing, says Mats Knutson.

- A question that has long been filled with obscurity. Despite the stated willingness of 100,000 tests a week, only one-third is done. And no one has been able to explain whose fault it is, says Knutson.

The division of responsibilities between state, region and state authorities is topical and will influence the debate. Also the consequences of privatization in general and how preparedness looks for the future.

- It has been discussed that the regional emergency preparedness has not worked as intended after the pharmacy market was liberalized, which can be addressed, says Knutson.

The overall strategy is also likely to be affected.

Then the financial consequences are discussed.

- It is the slightly shorter block, but it will be at least as interesting. We see, for example, that support for short-term permits is about 100 billion. These are huge sums, says Knutson.

How the support should be developed and, not least, widened over time will be a major issue, as well as unemployment and direct support to companies. 

- It will be very exciting to hear how the parties have thought that we will get out of this crisis.

He believes that the economic debate will be characterized by classical left - right politics. The right-wing parties will push for tax cuts to get the economy back on track, and the left-wing parties will emphasize the a-cash and the welfare system.

The prevailing four-party constellation, where C and L will now stand on the same side as MP and S, adds another interesting aspect to Sunday's debate, says Mats Knutson.

- What economic conclusions each party draws and which way forward they consider to be the solution may clarify the ideological differences between the January parties.
