More than 14,000 Helsingborg citizens wrote on the name lists: We want a referendum on the sale of Öresund power. The politicians were thus obliged to raise the issue in the council.

A hot question

And shortly after 21.30 on Tuesday evening, the decision was thus pushed through, reports Helsingborgs Dagblad.

The issue of sales has been a hot political issue since it became known after the election last year that an inquiry is being conducted at the service level without the parties being informed.
