51 Swedish environmentalists call on responsible Social Democrats in the government to take responsibility for the cultural sector's crisis during the pandemic in a debate article in Svenska Dagbladet. They believe that Minister of Culture Amanda Lind "in an unfair way was blamed for the situation that arose. In fact, Amanda Lind acted quickly and decisively when the crisis was a fact, "they write.
MP politicians write that the regulations must be updated so that cultural activities can start and that it is the Minister of the Interior Mikael Damberg's responsibility to do so. They refer to the fact that he is responsible for the law of order, the law that was tightened during the pandemic and which stipulates that a maximum of 50 people may gather at public gatherings.
"Damberg must ensure that reasonable rules are developed"The environmental parties write in the article that it is reasonable that 50 people or more can gather as long as measures to reduce the spread of infection are maintained and that Mikael Damberg must act for the crisis-stricken cultural industry.
"Here, Mikael Damberg must act and respond to Amanda Lind's commitment to cultural life and ensure that reasonable rules are developed so that concerts and other cultural activities can be carried out."
The writers write that culture is worth investing in and call on the Social Democrats to "hook up with Amanda Lind and help culture get the support it needs!"
The cultural news is looking for Mikael Damberg.
